ABOUT
Background to Creative Gateway

When not writing and book designing, we relax by
enjoying the local countryside and seashore,
supporting libraries and book clubs and
participating in the vibrant creative and cultural
community of Norwich, a UNESCO City of
Literature, including the popular Writer’s Centre
Norwich and the University of East Anglia with its
pioneering creative writing activity

expertise and writer understanding to provide a
different type of quality book service and a
consistent satisfaction to all our customers
We look forward to hearing from you
Is Creative Gateway what you
need?
Sadly, these days, with a vastly changed industry,
far too many talented writers are ignored by
traditional publishers and agents, wary of taking on
new clients unless they are immediately
guaranteed proven sales. It falls to you to try and
demonstrate beforehand that you have
professional potential and can market yourself to
generate readers. Our book design services are
specifically designed as a critical leg for getting you
up, running and noticed as a published author,
taking positive control of your career direction
rather than becoming dispirited, waiting forever on
the rejection slips or zero responses, week after
week. Or you may just simply want to have your
fictional or non-fictional content, you’ve worked
hard to write, in print anyway and are not
interested in the futile chasing of publishers to do
it for you
It is easy to publish your book yourself,
you need
A completed manuscript, copy and proof edited
for errors, style and flow, to be typographically
reset for print size
A compelling cover, professionally designed to
appeal to the buying and interest desires of your
intended readers
Your own, easy to set up and secure print-on-
demand account with Amazon’s CreateSpace
service to upload your files to for immediate
publishing, printing and selling on Amazon and
other online and physical bookshops worldwide
