What is joint venture publishing?

It is a concept that grew out of our experience as digital printers producing quality short runs of books for a wide variety of customers. Many of people have the ability to write and market their own specialty, if only the initial cost could be kept low, and they had specialist advice.
Publishers may not be prepared to take on a short run due to low margins, difficulty in producing and marketing short runs and technical problems. Self publishing with our expert assistance helps you overcome these problems.

Commercial printers are often not used to dealing with customer files or books.

Roundtuit solves these problems cost effectively with joint venture publishing. The partners have years of experience in dealing with customer disks, producing short run documents, helping customers self-publish—as well as writing several books. Roundtuit was set up when one of our print customers said, “Please could you also provide some guidance and advice on pricing and selling and take care of the publishing side?”

Does it cost a fortune?

We work with you to ensure that the end product is what you want at an affordable price. We help you think through who may buy the book, how you can market it and plan a realistic strategy. Often our customers have enough pre-orders to cover the cost of printing before they have to pay the print bill.
