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 late 2010, 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.
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, 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.
Additionally, when publishing with Vivid, at your service is our specialist VIVID Book Publicist, a publishing industry PR stalwart who has been working with some of Australia’s top publishing houses.
Many authors have fulfilled life-long dreams, one has achieved bestseller status on Amazon, plenty others have had their books stocked in bookstores, some have been offered national distribution for their book. Three of our authors so far have been signed up on healthy traditional publishing contracts.
Vivid has published hundreds of titles comprising tens of millions of printed pages - experience does count.

"Just a quick note to let you know that my books have arrived and I am so thrilled with them - they look fantastic. (In fact, I am in tears I am so happy with them!) Thank you for your patience and your hard work getting it published. I am very appreciative."
- Suzie May,
Arthritis, pregnancy and the path to parenthood |
"...I'm very proud of the book - 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 and simply admiring it. At that point, the book you have carried in your head and heart has become a reality and that is a fantastic feeling."
- Paul Ritchie, Stay on Message |
"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 |
"The team at Vivid provided priceless publishing advice, design and production services. The provided the 'X Factor' to enable my book to be picked up a large national book distribiutor and stocked in all bookstores around the country, including airports (apparently the holy grail)!

"Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the books they look really great. Channel Nine Extra filmed my story about the book on Thursday and it went to air last Friday night, it was great. I sold alot of books at the markets on Saturday and one of the prominent independent bookshops in Brisbane is selling them. So we are off to a great start, hoping to order reprints soon.
