Why Publish Family and Local History?

Why should you publish your family and local history?

Of course you are going to see your work in print and get copies for your family and local area. But there’s so much more to consider. What about the people out there who are combing records looking for information that you have so diligently compiled? We can help you reach them!

One of the most common misunderstandings we encounter in our business is confusion about printers and publishers. When going to a printer, you can take your work in, hand it over, pay the company to print it, and several weeks later … pick up the finished product. The printing company simply prints the books.

Many people assume a publisher and a printing company provide the same service. This is not the case. A publisher actually becomes a partner with the author. Publishing is a full-service business providing printing, desktop publishing, and indexing. The publisher also takes care of the design work for a marketable cover, as well as page layouts.

Marketing is the next area of consideration. It is crucial to reach the people who are seeking the

valuable information that you have collected. A publisher teams up with the author to market the

book. Printers …well, they just print books. A publisher works with the author to find and meet the market for the publication.

You have taken the time to research and compile essential historical information. Chances are, there are other people searching for that information. However, if the research is not made accessible, other researchers will not be able to find your work.

Bluewater Publications can help make your diligent efforts of research & recording available to those who are searching for research you have already located, and you get paid when they buy your book.
