Study Guide (Book Accompaniment)

PublishU encourages non-fiction authors to create a Study Guide to accompany their main book.

We recommend you write your Study Guide once you have signed off the copy edit and proofread of your manuscript.

There are three main benefits to creating a Study Guide:

• Interactive Engagement: Giving people an interactive way to engage with your book's main content within a small group setting.‍
• Book Sales: Each person who works through the Study Guide in a small group is highly likely to buy a copy of your book.
• ‍Fresh Promotion: The publication of the Study Guide creates another way for you to promote your book.

As with your book, the Intellectual Property (manuscript content) belongs to you as the author, and the format (cover and typeset in all formats) belongs to your publisher.

PublishU will provide you with three assets plus a support community to enable you to create a Study Guide:

• COVER & LICENSE: PublishU will create a Study Guide cover based on your book cover with permission to use it.‍
• TEMPLATE & TIPS: PublishU will provide you with a generic structure for the contents of your Study Guide and top tips about how to create it.‍
• STYLE GUIDE: PublishU will provide you with a simple style guide to ensure a look and feel consistent with your book (eg specification for headings, subheadings, body text and line spacing)
• SUPPORT COMMUNITY: PublishU will include you in its Study Guide WhatsApp community so you can be supported along with others on the same journey.

Authors are required to rigorously copy edit and proofread their Study Guide and also use our recommended generative AI editing platform grammarly.com

PublishU will check and sign off on the final version of the Study Guide, which will then be a) sent to you as a PDF so that you can give to people, and b) added to your dedicated book webpage as a free download.

The total cost of the Study Guide, includes cover design, license to use the cover, template, style guide, tips, support community and posting on the PublishU website, is £245 +VAT. You will receive your Study Guide within 14 days of payment.
