Root Creations -
Getting your writing into print and on sale on the web
We’ve set up Root Creations with a view to leading you through the process of getting your book into print. If you run a writers’ group and would like an anthology of your members’ work, or if you’re a poet with numerous small magazine publications who’d like something to sell at readings, or a person wanting to produce book of local history that’s destined to have a small but appreciative audience … or anything along those lines … we think you’d find us jolly useful.
But that’s not the most exciting bit. We are offering to sell your book for you via your very own web-page on the Leaf Books website.
