About Gigalillion

About the Name

Gigalillion is the second publishing imprint of The London Press Ltd and is a name symbolising the spirit of our age - the zeitgeist, so to speak - an age of numbers, figures, and possibilities of incredible and exceptional magnitude. A Gigalillion is the number 1 followed by 3000000003 zero's - it's a very big number indeed, and yet the word Gigalillion sounds natural and almost familiar, as if destined to become a word of common everyday usage. Quite simply, it fits the time and the moment, but most of all, it fits perfectly on the spine of a quality book.

An Efficient, Automated System

Gigalillion.co.uk is also the launching pad for Gigalillion/The London Press's new Masterpiece Book Creation System™. After 7 years of perfecting a process of working with authors, editors, proof readers and cover designers that reliably and consistently produces publications of an extremely high quality, the natural progression was an investment in automating the workflow process, so as to make turn around quicker for authors - and in general, the whole book creation system more robust.

The Importance of Communication

Though the reasons might not be immediately apparent, publishing a quality book is a function of the relationships between all the parties involved in its creation (i.e. the author, ourselves as the publisher, the cover designer, oftentimes, editors, proof readers and indexers. Because a very substantial amount of effort needs to be put in to a publication, if it is to be one of real quality (and thus able to compete effectively in the market), it is extremely important that clear lines of communication are established between all the parties, and that each is clear what their own responsibilities are regarding the work. Each party needs clear information and a clear brief - as well as synchronization with all others, so that each initiates their specific role at the correct time in the overall book creation process. Managing the relationships via clear lines of communication, as well as creating clear briefs for each professional is the essence of Gigalillion's new Masterpiece Book Creation System™. We consider it the first of its kind, in terms of this particular perfected workflow method - and as you will experience firsthand - it really works!

Putting the Author in Control

Reliable and trustworthy sales figures are essential for authors - in tandem with secure and regular monthly royalty payouts. Service like this puts an author in the driving seat in terms of achieving success. Gigalillion's new system takes care of all this beautifully for authors - and each Gigalillion/London Press author has their own individual control panel from which they can view and action, all relevant aspects their published work.

We look forward to welcoming you to Gigalillion/The London Press as an author and working with you to achieve success with your book.
