The Imprints

An imprint is the identifying name of the publisher that is carried on the book. As a self-publisher you are responsible for designating a name to appear on the copyright page of the book as ‘publisher’. Some people will already have chosen their own publishing name, but, if you are stuck for ideas, you may want to choose one of our professional imprints.
