What's included

One ISBN is issued under the Write Publish Books imprint and registered using the details you submit. You gain more control over your book, how you sell it, print it and distribute it. 

​

Instant book landing page & Author page!

Your book is listed on Write Publish Books immediately upon submission.
Clean layout, no ads, no pop-ups, stable URL, and direct links to your own sales pages. Submit your book details here. ​

 

ISBNs are typically issued within the next working day
(and appear in your book gallery).

Feel free to publish as soon as you get the ISBN, imprint & barcodes.
While you do that, we centrally log your book details in the central database (Nielsen), making it visible to bookshops, libraries, and schools. 

What we need from you

When completing the form, you will be asked to provide the core details of your book; this enables you to showcase your book while we issue your ISBN and submit a full Nielsen metadata entry.

If you make a mistake or need an adjustment, then get in touch. We're here to help you on your authorship journey.

Contact me: Mark@WritePublish.co.uk

​​Please complete the form carefully. The information you submit will be used exactly as provided for ISBN registration. Once submitted to Nielsen, ISBN data cannot be readily changed, and a new ISBN is needed for material changes to title, subtitle, author, etc.

​​

Have to hand your book rich media, including video links, audio recordings, images etc.
If needed, this can be sent later, but your showcase page goes live as soon as you hit submit on the ISBN Registration form.

The Final Piece: Setting Up Distribution

With your professional foundation laid by Write Publish Books, the only thing left for you to do is choose how your book physically reaches retailers. You retain full control and can set up distribution through several routes:
 

  • Self-Distribution: You can fulfil orders yourself, dealing directly with local independent bookshops or via your own website links on your showcase page.
     

  • Wholesalers (e.g., Gardners): You can list your book with major UK wholesalers like Gardners to allow any bookshop in the country to stock your title easily.
     

  • Global Distribution Services (e.g., IngramSpark): You can use Print-on-Demand (POD) services to make your book available globally while still using your professional WPB ISBN and imprint to maintain your "indie" status with a professional edge.
