New Generation Publishing, a leading UK self-publishing service dedicated to helping writers to sell their books, has announced that it is offering a free marketing support service to all authors no matter their budget or scale of package acquired.

After books have been published and 'gone live', New Generation Publishing will offer all self-published authors the opportunity to book an appointment either by phone or face-to-face where the required time will be spent explaining all available marketing options at no extra cost.

The move comes after the recent announcement which saw New Generation reveal that the number of books sold by its self-published authors rose by a fifth in 2017 when compared to 2016 figures. In addition, it saw a 12% rise in the number of books published over the course of 2017, in comparison to 2016, and an 18% increase in royalties paid out to authors.

New Generation Publishing was created in 2009 as part of award-winning independent book publisher Legend Press. New Generation became a company in its own right in 2011, offering an increased management, marketing and promotional team. The company has grown year-on-year since its inception.

Daniel Cooke, Managing Director of New Generation Publishing, commented:

"We have clearly seen in every royalty period that it's the authors we speak to the most who are the ones whose titles are performing the best, and meeting sales expectations. And it's no coincidence that our most successful authors follow a well-thought out, strategic plan when it comes to the marketing, promotion and PR surrounding their titles.

"Individual conversations will be based around our many years of experience and case studies surrounding the success of other authors - what they have achieved and how they went about it. The introduction of our free marketing support service is an integral component in our ongoing quest to better support all our self-published authors, and ultimately to help them sell more books."
