Study Guide

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

A Study Guide helps readers move from simply reading your ideas to actively applying them. It also opens new opportunities for teaching, group learning and deeper engagement with your content.

The Three Key Benefits

⚡️ Increased Impact
A Study Guide provides individuals, teams and book groups with an interactive way to engage with your ideas, increasing the practical impact of your book.

📈 Increased Income
Each person working through the Study Guide will also purchase a copy of the main book, creating additional book sales and expanding your reach.

📢 Increased Promotion
Publishing a Study Guide creates another reason to talk about your book and gives you a powerful additional resource to promote.

Intellectual Property

As with your book, the manuscript content remains your intellectual property as the author, while the formatting and design elements created by PublishU remain the property of the publisher.

What PublishU Provides

PublishU will provide three core assets and also a support community to help you create your Study Guide:

📘 Cover and License
A Study Guide cover created using the image of your existing book cover, with permission for you to use it.

🖼️ Template and Author Guidance
A clear structure for building your Study Guide, along with practical tips to help you create engaging questions and exercises.

✍️ Style Guide
A simple formatting guide to ensure the Study Guide maintains a professional look consistent with your book, including headings, subheadings, body text and spacing.

👥 Support Community
Access to the PublishU Study Guide WhatsApp community where authors support and encourage one another through the process.

Editing Requirements

As with your main book, authors are responsible for thoroughly copy editing and proofreading their Study Guide. Authors are required to use Grammarly to ensure high-quality personal editing.

Final Publication

Once your Study Guide is complete, PublishU will review and sign-off, the final version. It will then be:

• Provided to you as a PDF, allowing you to distribute and use it as you wish
• Added to your dedicated book page on the PublishU website as a free download for readers

Investment

The total investment for the Study Guide service, including cover design, license to use the cover, template, author guidance, style guide, support community and publication on the PublishU website, is £395.
