For self-publishers

You may have an idea for a book that you want to distribute among a small group of people, for non-commercial purposes. Or, you may already have a script just waiting to be published. We can get you from whatever point you are at all the way to your printed book. We can help you with:

• writing
  
• editing
• proofreading
  
• book layout
• cover design
• print production 

While there are various options available to the aspiring self-publisher, there are many little details involved in the publishing process that, when missed, will cause mistakes and delays to occur. We offer you a smooth, fast publishing experience.

For family researchers

At Straits, we are strong supporters of upholding our heritage. We can help you with your Family History research, and if you've already done that, then to organize a big family reunion or exhibition to celebrate your heritage.

Publishing yourself is easy

Our experienced staff will work according to your budget and your deadline requirements. For example, "Journey to the Straits", a 300-page family history book, was designed and printed within 2 months!

True self-publishing

True self-publishers are authors who undertake all aspects of publishing themselves, rather than rely on established, third-party publishers. It is a challenging but rewarding process.

Straits Consultancy & Publishing aims to aid self-publishers to achieve their dreams of producing their own books.

Heritage & Genealogy Services

In August 2005, we co-organized Singapore's First Genealogy Exhibition with the National Library Board. The event, titled "Who Am I? The Joy of Discovering Your Family History", drew 17,000 visitors. 

Who needs a family portal?

If you're doing research into your ancestry, you will find it useful to have a family portal to connect your relatives - known and newly-discovered - from around the world. It will help you to get to know each other better and to gather information even faster.
