The Managing Director Awards 2026

I started Authors Reach Ltd 8 years ago as a cooperative publishing company to provide quality authors with an indepencence they don't get from a traditional publisher.The company now has 12 successful authors and has published over 80 books. It has distribution agreements with Gardners (the largest in the UK) who supplies most UK bookshops, as well as with Amazon. Unusually for the publishing industry the company doesn't take any of the royalties from a book sale and the author retains it all.
