Are you an author who has written a manuscript that you want to have published into a book?

Have you approached an established publishing house to print your book, only to be rejected by them?

Do you believe strongly enough in your work, or have another reason to need your manuscript published into a book?

If you've answered YES to all of those questions, then stay on this page...

Straits Consultancy & Publishing helps authors who want to publish their own books. You do the writing, and we can do the rest until you hold that printed book in your hands!

If you're not sure what exactly a self-publisher is, read about it here. Also learn what the process will be like so that you go into this as well informed as possible.

Publishing yourself is easy

If you have your content ready, all you need to do is discuss the specifications of your book with our experienced staff, and let us help you to get your book printed. That's what the authors below did:

Journey To The Straits



Journey To The Straits was a 300-page book compiled by a family that wanted to publish their extended family history. It was designed and printed within 2 months, and distributed privately among the family.

Johnny Can Fly

Johnny Can Fly was printed by local children's author, Benita Fong. She had written her manuscript and worked with an artist to do the illustrations to her specifications before approaching us. This book was for commercial sale.

Professional advice

We give self-publishing authors the ability to produce their own books. From start to finish, pre-press to promotion and distribution, we will guide you along the best paths to help you to get your book printed.

Here's how we can help:

Editing and Proofreading

You may have the script completed, but it helps to have a new set of "eyes" to check it before it is printed. We can edit it to make sure that the copy is grammatically and factually correct before it is printed, or we can just proofread it to look for glaring mistakes. Trust us, there is nothing worse than flipping through your freshly printed book and finding errors that could have been avoided if you had just taken the time to check properly.

Design and Layout

Yes, you may have arranged the text and photos exactly how you think you want them in your book, but are you aware of the professional requirements for printing a book? We're talking about the technical details needed for professional printing. You could ignore these things, but you could land yourself some horrendous results.

Industry standard books

There are specific formats to follow to have a professional-looking book. We can also advise you on cost-saving measures for the production of your book.

Books for the Singapore market

You may not know it, but there are certain procedures to be followed when printing a book - a little bit of red tape, if you will. It's a small registration process that will help you keep track of your book here, and across international borders.

Distribution

You may want to distribute your books among a private audience. But if you intend to sell your books to the general public, we can get you going in the right direction.

Promotional materials

After printing your book, you may need posters and flyers printed to promote your book, or for a book signing or reading session. We can do that, too.

All under YOUR control

You are in charge of what happens. There is no third party to force you to do what you don't want to, or take royalties away from you. We are just here to help you to print the best book possible at the best price possible.
