Do you have a book to publish?

You've worked hard to write your book - so what next? We offer a simple, great value service that will enable you to get your book into the hands of eager readers. But first - a word of warning - whatever you do, do not pay thousands of pounds to have your book published. You will never recoup that outlay, and we think we offer a very similar service at a fraction of the cost.

Many authors are now going down the self-publishing route with print-on-demand platforms such as Amazon KDP or Lulu, however these options are not without pitfalls, and can be tricky to get to grips with. Our service is probably best described as "assisted publishing" - in other words, we will do the work for you, but you remain the publisher. It's ideal for anyone who wants to self-publish but doesn't know how, or wants help ensuring the finished product is as good as it can be.

More detail:

We will prepare your manuscript for publishing. Many "self-published" books look self-published. Incorrect page layout, poor cover design, sloppy layout, even the wrong colour paper - will all contribute to a poor product. We make sure your book looks like the books on your bookshelf.
We will design a cover for you if you need one. An eye-catching cover is an essential element of your book. We will work with you to create the perfect cover.
We will send you electronic proofs of the manuscript and cover so you can check everything over before publishing. And we will keep working on it until you are happy, with as many rounds of amends as you need.
We will publish the book to your own (or a new) Amazon KDP account in paperback, hardback and Kindle - so everything remains in your name and you keep all of the royalties from sales. We will also create an Amazon author page for you. This part of the process can be tricky if you're not used to it - why not let us handle it?
We will send you a sample copy of the book, and make any required amendments before it goes on sale
We will provide you with marketing material and ideas at no extra cost to help you maximise sales.
We will stay in touch with you as long as you need us to, and if you need any more amendments we will manager that for you if required.

This service, with personal service from Ruth and Tim, is priced at £200 - which we think is reasonable for the time and expertise required. The whole process can take as little as a week, but this depends how many rounds of amendments there are.
