Unpublished? Written a work that they say won't pay? A great story that ought to sell but hasn't? A lot of very good books are never seen by the public simply because agents are blinkered or publishers too greedy to accept anything not guaranteed to make millions. But maybe you can do something...
Had your work already produced and want on-line sales? Thinking of print on demand? Read on...

   * Infinity Junction is a publisher and bookseller, an organisation originally set up to help the best unrecognised writers get known by the public and help previously published authors to get back in. Infinity Junction also sells books for other publishers, like Horseshoe Publications, British Dyslexics and Duprevent, for who we offer internet sales - and maybe your book too.
   * We can arrange for low capital outlay short-run Print-On-Demand style production, or full high-quality book production, or you can take advantage of our professional typesetting facilities to arrange your own printing and binding. Importantly we offer a ready made on-line credit-card and mail order outlet for books.
   * Sometimes, only for books we would like to publish but which we cannot undertake in the immediate future due to other financial commitments, we may offer 'collaborative' publishing; where we properly publish and register it in our name but financed by you. Print runs for these are usually longer than Print-On-Demand style producers can do economically and also, being 'properly published' by a recognised wholesale supplier, we are able to apply a degree of marketing beyond the internet to help get your book onto bookshop shelves. (Details upon request.) * For print-runs in low hundreds or more we are usually cheaper and better quality than POD 'publishers.'
   * All books we choose to publish under the Infinity Junction imprint are professionally produced to top bookshop quality and fully registered with the British Library and other international authorities.
   * We also sell carefully selected self-published books, (not necessarily registered.) Authors considering self-publishing are encouraged to e-mail us first: we are experienced in this field, have numerous trade contacts, and can offer a number of services, including help and advice, much of which is free by e-mail.
   * For less popular subjects and also for very long books (when production costs would be high) then electronic publishing might be considered. It's not a perfect solution because as yet none of the major concerns can agree on a standard format and if you choose to go in some of the more secure systems, you'll end up paying for special software etc. Also your copyright is not as safe due to the comparative ease with which they can be copied, even in 'protected' form. Apart from software, production and transmission costs are minimal and therefore it is easier to make a profit without putting prices up to high street shop levels. We have several 'electronic texts' on our list.

Subject matter -
    Infinity Junction (the organisation) is not interested in publishing or selling just any old work however. We have a preference for intelligent and slightly unusual works, but not quirky. We hope to cultivate something of a niche for high quality work which is not quite of sufficient commercial potential to attract large publishers. The motto 'interesting reading' sums up our guiding principle and there are limits as to what is acceptable.
   In the first instance priority is given to thought-provoking works. We are also looking for humour and may make another anthology along those lines. Minority interests and sports, semi-academic works, biographies etc would also fit in. A slight anti-establishment bias to fiction and humour is likely to appeal to us. Infinity Junction does consider more mainstream subjects, indeed quite a lot of our slots have been given to such works, but you will have to convince us of its quality, if for no other reason than we're suspicious of commercial material which hasn't already sold. (Suburban angst, quaint-characters-in-the-country and romance-in-Venice types are unlikely to appear in the Infinity Junction catalogue.)

We produce a comprehensive writers and authors guide - equally useful for unpublished writers and seasoned ones, especially if not be fully up to date; whether or not you are specifically interested in Infinity Junction, our Budding Bestseller guide is highly recommended and is good value at only UK£3 when sent by e-mail. It's a genuinely practical ±36,000 word self-help book, which does NOT push our services, but looks at all aspects of writing, improving and selling your work, including agents, big-name publishers and self-publishing. It is printed on demand and regularly updated so it's probably the most modern guide around.

  • See details of Budding Bestseller guide

    If you have a book you'd like us to consider, please submit a full description, or for fiction, a proper synopsis of no more than about 800 words plus brief background (as above) to: infin-input@infinityjunction.com or write (see link below) - NO manuscripts please: at present we cannot undertake to read unsolicited material longer than a synopsis.
    We will also look at short stories, either with a view to including it in one of our printed anthologies, or for display in our writers showcase at inter-read - a sister website of Infinity Junction - more details displayed there. We prefer short stories to be at the lower end of average length, ie below 2500 words, but any length will be considered.
