A new imprint to encourage the publication of First World War information has been established by The Western Front Association in partnership with Tommies Guides.
Reveille Press will enable WFA members to have their work published rapidly, efficiently and cost-effectively, even when the material is unlikely to be taken up by a mainstream publisher.
The service is suitable for those who just wish to share their work with family members and friends, as well as those who seek commercial success. All genres, including reference works and poetry, will be considered and authors share royalties with the WFA.
Authors also benefit from association with the WFA and a specialist publisher in the field, avoid many of the costs associated with vanity publishing and are guaranteed never to be left with boxes of unsold copies. Reveille Press, through this new partnership with Tommies Guides, has the resources to enable distribution through major UK outlets, the internet and across the world.
Commented Bruce Simpson, Chairman of the WFA, “Ryan Gearing, who founded Tommies Guides, is one of our members and is passionate about military history. Combine that with his publishing experience and expertise and we believe that we are going to offer a unique service to our members who have dreamed of seeing their work in print, but have despaired of success with one of the traditional publishers.”
Ryan Gearing added, “For the first time amateur historians of The Great War can ensure that their research is made public in a highly professional manner. Typically, manuscripts we accept will appear within three months and authors will have the benefit of advice and a range of services including the distribution of review copies, while retaining all rights to their work. This is a custom-made service for niche and first time authors.”
