Would you like to see your manuscript published? VIVID supplies the necessary trade publishing expertise, quality book production and printing experience, giving your book the best chance possible in the marketplace. VIVID also provides budget solutions for personal publishing ventures, book printing and book cover and interior design services. VIVID books are listed with the National Library of Australia, Global Books-in-Print and TitlePage® enabling your book to be easily found, discovered and ordered by both bookstores and readers alike.
From mid 2011, VIVID authors will also have the option of listing their books with Ingram - the world's largest book distributor. This means it will be made available to a worldwide audience via Amazon, Barnes & Noble and thousands of other retail outlets via VIVID print-on-demand, and also ebook formats for the Kindle, KOBO and iBook platforms.
Our most successful VIVID authors began with a plan, pounded the pavement with a well written & designed, professional looking 'bookstore quality' book, enough stock and sold direct to an audience they understood and knew how to reach. A bulk order provides easy opportunity and low enough unit price to share, sell, give to bookstore managers and reviewers, and get into the hands of local media. Many professionals gladly give away their $30 paperback book (for the cost of a $4) and receive bookings worth thousands of dollars. Others obtain high price consulting contracts using the book as a door opener.
Vivid authors have fulfilled life-long dreams, two have achieved bestseller status on Amazon, plenty others have had their books stocked in bookstores, and over one dozen of our Vivid authors have been offered national book trade distribution for their books.
Vivid has published hundreds of titles comprising tens of millions of printed pages - specialised industry experience does count.

"...I'm very proud of the book that has been produced by Vivid Publishing - not just because it is an achievement to write and publish 85,000 words, but because the quality of the publication in every sense is as good as any business book produced by the larger publishing houses. I can say the most wonderful feeling is picking up a copy of your first book for the first time - at that point, the book you have carried in your head and heart has become a reality and that is a fantastic feeling."

"As the author of the book 'Midnight at OASIS', I approached the publishing process with some trepidation. Fortunately I chose Vivid Publishing.

The team at Vivid are true publishing professionals who know the book business back to front and I can recommend them without hesitation.""

"A note to thank VIVID for publishing my 77,000 word, 250 page novel, ‘A mother’s song.’ Readers are telling me they like the ‘B’ Format (5” x 8”) and the Bulky Cream paper which is easy to read, and fits in people’s handbags. Its format reduces postage costs down to $1.80 in Australia and $6.00 air-mail overseas. VIVID set up on-line ordering and payment through my Paypal account without a hitch. "

"The books were so well packed that it took some effort to get them out, but the effort was well worth the wait. The smell is something that hit me first. The freshly dried inks from the press. Then came the emotions. Joy and relief. The many hours of proof reading, of retouching to get the look we were after, of researching other book styles for ideas, of early mornings to make it on location to capture the various shots – all effort rewarded. The book looks fantastic!"
- Stu Harris, photographer, Love in Action |
