Seven reasons to publish your book with Hallmark Press
1. PROVEN PUBLISHING EXPERTISE AT YOUR SERVICE. We have over 25 years experience in the industry - our production staff having worked, not only for mainstream publishers, but also in the independent publishing industry too. We are able to provide an extremely cost effective and affordable publishing facility to those authors who can supply us with their book in a 'ready to print' format, but for those writers who wish us to offer the full or even partial production of their work to include, if necessary, editing of the manuscript, typesetting, proof reading, and jacket/cover design, we can offer this service too. The author is not bound to use our production facilities, if they have access to professionals on a more local level. If required we can supply contact details of companies who are involved in the production of books to enable you to converse with them yourself - the choice is yours.
2. PRICES TO SUIT ALL BUDGETS With prices commencing from £49.95, we feel that the vast majority of authors should be able to find a package that they are happy with.

We offer extremely favorable royalty rates. Our authors receive 100% of the royalties on book sales until the author recovers their investment, thereafter split on a 50:50 basis.
6. A CHOICE OF WHETHER YOU WISH US TO HELP PUBLICISE YOUR WORK OR NOT.
To keep costs as low as possible you have the choice to, a) self publicise your book, b) utilise our publicity department's expertise to market your book professionally.
If you choose the latter option, there are various degrees of publicity you can avail yourself of in order to keep the costs as low as practical, our publicity service is available with our Gold and Platinum packages. We are always looking at novel and innovative methods to promote our authors and their work and providing that they are in agreement we will undertake and organise as many different methods of publicity that we possibly can.
