Lamplight Press is an independent publisher of all book genres. We are fortunate to enjoy sufficient funding to enable us to offer not only self-publishing options (whether that be for commercial or vanity purposes - more about this here) but also to offer many authors a hybrid book deal (more on this here) and some even a traditional package (if the book in question is both good enough and likely to sell in sufficient volumes). For some books that we publish, we also use the junior imprint "Candlelight Press" for manuscripts that are of sufficiently good quality (spelling, grammar, structure et cetera) but which have not gone through the full editing and proofreading process that a traditional or hybrid book would normally have to. This enables us to offer new, unknown authors with limited budgets a possible way in, without the costs normally incurred by full copy editing and proofreading.
Lamplight Press is still a relatively new player in the publishing arena (founded 2021) and is therefore extremely keen to expand its author base across all service types (traditional, hybrid, commercial self-publishing and vanity) and, thanks to our investors, we are able to offer publishing deals which are extremely competitive in order to get more authors on board.
So, whatever publishing package you are after, do please give us the opportunity to quote you - our turnaround times are also extremely good, with initial replies to proposals often achieved in under two weeks, and, although the company is new, our key staff members have many years of experience in the world of literature.
Please read our proposal submission guidelines on the relevant page for each deal type, and always feel free to make any general enquiries using the contact form below or to our email address.
Thanks for visiting! We look forward to hearing from you.
