With the UK now in its second lockdown, it’s safe to say that 2020 has been a tough year. But with more people staying at home and enjoying greater flexibility as a result, both lockdowns saw many of us rediscover new skills, forgotten hobbies or tasks that we were just too busy to do before.

The first national lockdown saw a resurgence in creativity and if you’re one of those people who has always said they’d love to write a novel, lockdown was the perfect time to do it! Many would-be writers made the most of quarantine by putting pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) to create their very own manuscripts. So, why not use the current lockdown to get your book published? Read on to discover our essential guide to self-publishing during lockdown…

Why self-publish?

Getting published in the traditional sense is difficult and very time consuming. Even if you have the talent and an excellent book, it’s extremely unlikely that you’ll get published without the help of a literary agent or without jumping through the many hoops set out by a traditional publishing company.

By self-publishing your book, you’ll save time and take back the control, both creatively and financially. With self-publishing you’ll be able to publish the book you want to publish. In addition to this, you’ll receive a higher royalty rate, not the measly 10% share offered by the majority of publishing contracts.

Where do I start?

If you’re looking to self-publish you’ve certainly come to the right place. Here at New Generation Publishing, we offer the ultimate solution to take your lockdown creation from manuscript to bestseller.

It all starts with choosing a publishing package that complements your requirements and budget.
