Merchandise Support
Books can grow beyond the page.
For some authors, merchandise can become a valuable extension of their stories — notebooks, sketchbooks, branded items, companion products and reader-focused extras.
At Amery Publishing, we offer structured Merchandise Support for authors who wish to explore this area professionally.
Important
Merchandise Support is a separate paid service and is not included within the standard Partnership fee.
Not every book requires merchandise, and not every project is suited to it.
This service is available for authors who have a clear, commercially sensible reason to expand beyond the book itself.
Support Structure & Pricing
To keep this accessible while remaining sustainable, our pricing is structured as follows:
• First 2 hours: £20 per hour
• Additional hours: £35 per hour
Most initial consultations and product evaluations fall within the first two hours.
Before any extended work is undertaken, we will clearly outline expected time and costs so there are no surprises.
What This Service May Include
Depending on your project, support may cover:
• Assessing whether merchandise is commercially viable
• Product selection guidance
• Print-on-demand vs bulk production advice
• File preparation guidance
• Basic cost and margin planning
• Supplier liaison
• Production planning
We focus on helping authors avoid unnecessary expense and poor production decisions.
Low-Risk First Approach
Where possible, we encourage:
• Small initial test runs
• Print-on-demand models
• Careful cost planning
• Clear margin understanding
Merchandise should strengthen your brand — not create financial pressure.
Transparency & Boundaries
Before work begins, we will:
• Confirm scope
• Clarify expected time commitment
• Outline estimated costs
You remain in control at every stage.
Transparent Support Structure
Before proceeding with any merchandise project, you will receive:
• A clear outline of what is involved
• Transparent pricing for support
• A realistic discussion of risks and margins
We do not encourage unnecessary spending.
Merchandise should be strategic — not impulsive.
