A mainstream publisher will publish your manuscript
at their own expense. Although there are well over 100,000 books published
annually in the UK by mainstream publishers, there are many reasons
why such a publisher may not be able to take up your work.
Although you may feel there is a huge market just waiting
somewhere 'out there' for the publication of your book,
you must face the reality that if your subject is of
interest only to a minority - a local landmark, a local
personality, Book-Binding for the Amateur, Marble
Championships of the 20th Century, your own autobiography
- then the corresponding marketing possibilities are
equally small. Your book will not be a financially viable
proposition for a mainstream publisher.
