A professionally published book, brought to market by an internationally recognised publisher, is one investment that will guarantee that you and your business stand out from the pack. It instantly gives you enormous credibility and authority; it drives new business towards you and can help you secure new speaking opportunities.  Click here to see what a few bestselling authors think or here to read a Financial Times article about the effect a published book can have.

But publishing is a risky business. Well over 200,000 new books are published each year in the UK alone and most sink without creating the slightest ripple in book shops. Infinite Ideas offers you a real chance to defy these statistics through a partnership publishing arrangement whereby publisher and author share the risk.

What we ask in exchange is that our partners buy copies from our initial print run for distribution through their own channels. We do everything else. Prices start at just £4999. For more details click here.

Frequently asked questions

Q: “My book is very specialised and probably only relevant to a tiny market. Will you publish me anyway?”
 
A: Infinite Ideas publishes books for clearly defined markets. We’re not vanity publishers. We’ll always be open and honest about your book’s potential. 
 
Q: “I think I have a great story and a market that’s hungry to hear it but I have neither the skill nor the time to write it. Does that mean that I won’t be able to publish with Infinite Ideas?”
 
A: Don’t worry, we can help. We offer our authors all the support and help they need. That can be everything from a light edit of your manuscript to a full ghost writing service. If the idea is good we can probably turn it into a great book. 
 
Q: “How does it work then? What do I have to pay?”
 
A: We do everything at our expense including design, editorial and printing. We’ll sell the book to the best of our ability through all major retailers, have it catalogued and take it to the international book fairs. All we ask from you in return is that you support your book by buying copies from the initial print run, or help us create a firm sales channel. You’ll then be able to distribute copies to your existing or potential clients.
 
Q: “What do I get in return?”
 
A:  You get a powerful statement about you, your brand and your business. But you should also earn from it. We have great relationships with book retailers around the world (including airport and railway outlets). Our books have been translated by over 40 foreign language partners. We will sell your book as hard as we can and you’ll earn higher than average royalties on sales. So ideally what you get is a self-funding marketing tool.
 
Q: “How long does it take to get a book published?”
 
A: It really does depend on the amount of work we need to do on the book but as a rough idea we look to bring a book to market in about six months from receipt of the manuscript. We do, however, pride ourselves on our fleetness of foot. Two of our bestselling books were written and published in just three weeks. So, if your schedule is tight we’ll do our best to help.
 
Q: “I’ve been self-publishing my own book and I’m quite happy with how it looks. How can you help me?”
 
A: It's possible that we can’t. What you’re publishing may be spot on and at a great price. But in the past when a self-published author has compared their book to the books we produce they’re blown away by the difference in production and editorial quality. Our authors usually find that we can save them money on production and printing too. But the main advantage of working with us is distribution. Self-published books might be listed on Amazon but that’s usually it. We offer world-wide distribution and we pay full royalties on all our book trade sales.
 
Q: “What kind of subjects are you interested in?
 
A: We’re mainly interested in non-fiction and most of what we publish is consumer reference or business.  But we’re always pleased to hear suggestions (even slightly mad ones) and we will definitely pay you the courtesy of looking at what you send us.
 
Q: “What will my book look like?"
 
A: We publish a wide range of books, and we will work with you on the design to make sure it’s appropriate for the market we’re collectively trying to reach. We do big books, short books, fat books, slim book, books with pictures and books with just text. If your idea is good we will find the right format for it.

Q: "What sales and marketing support do you offer? What happens to the book once it has been published?"

A: Our sales director manages a team of representatives who visit high street booksellers, the head offices of the major chains such as Waterstone’s and WHSmith, railway/airport retailers and online customers to ensure that all our books are promoted through every appropriate outlet. Internationally we have representatives and stockholding agents in all the major English language markets (particularly south east Asia, Australia and South Africa) and our new books are promoted locally by them. We have active relationships with over 50 foreign language publishing partners and we have a considerable presence at both the London and Frankfurt international book fairs. Obviously we can’t guarantee that your book will be successful in all these channels but we give every new book the same level of marketing support, including fully integrated PR campaigns and in store co-op promotions.
