Self Publishing

Expressions - Self-publishing program @DC Books

Over the years, keeping in step with digital printing on demand and the developments in publishing technologies, self publishing has emerged as a popular conduit and platform for writers working beyond the ambit of mainstream publishers to bring their work before readers. When self-publishing it is quite possible for an author to carry out a range of tasks in the workflow independently. Nevertheless many authors will seek professional assistance with designing and editing their books.

‘Expressions’ is DC Books’ one stop self-publishing program. Our dedicated, state of the art printing infrastructure consists of extensive pre-press components that include design of book covers and page layouts, editing and proof-reading, typesetting and the conversion of the material to a print document format file. A book in its digital form then proceeds to our press where it is first transfixed to a plate and then its inner pages and covers are printed. Emerging into the post-printing stage, a book is gradually crafted into its eventual physical form.

Why self publish?

To begin with there are no gatekeepers sifting through the contents of your book, no literary agents or publishers, you are entirely responsible for the quality of your content. When an author self-publishes they have almost total control over the publishing process with our on-demand printing packages. Besides, when opting for one of our self-publishing packages an author’s work is aligned to DC Books’ robust promotional channels and extensive network of retail books stores.
