Working with Sonder Books has been a genuinely positive experience. The team are thoughtful, supportive, and passionate about giving authors a platform to be heard. From start to finish, the process felt personal and encouraging, and I truly felt valued as a writer. It’s clear how much heart goes into everything they do, and it’s a wonderful home for stories that matter.

Sonder Books has been great to work with. They backed my writing early on, which meant a lot to me, and working with them has felt straightforward and, most important to me, stress-free. Communication is clear, they’re supportive and I genuinely feel they care about the stories they publish. I’ve always felt my work was taken seriously, and that really matters a lot to me as a writer. I’m really proud to be part of what they’re building and excited to see them grow.

Working with Sonder Books has been a dream come true. They have helped me to get my work published earlier than I would have done if I was working on my own. As an author at the start of her career, I have relished the opportunity to try out different genres, and find what suits me best.

I found out about Sonder from another writer and submitted a short story to the community project A Cornucopia of Curious Tales. It was exciting to be selected and I was thrilled to recognise several of the other authors on the project. Sonder was easy to work with and has provided a valuable outlet for the writing community.

Assisted Publishing Testimonials
“Working with Tim and Ruth at Sonder Books has been an absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. I genuinely cannot praise them highly enough. Having previously paid over £4,000 for publishing services elsewhere, I was amazed to discover that Sonder Books offer a far more personal, professional, and supportive service for just £200 — an unbelievable bargain and exceptional value for money.
What truly sets Sonder apart is the personal touch. Tim and Ruth guide you through every single stage of the process with patience, encouragement, and outstanding communication. Nothing ever feels too much trouble, and you always feel supported, informed, and genuinely valued as an author. Publishing a book can often feel overwhelming, but Sonder Books made the entire journey enjoyable, exciting, and completely stress-free. Their passion for helping authors shines through in everything they do. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and I’m incredibly grateful for all their help, dedication, and kindness. If you’re considering publishing a book, I would recommend Sonder Books without hesitation — they are simply outstanding.”- Paul Wardle, author of Trying Again.
"I finished writing my story a couple of years ago, but then I procrastinated, rewriting and revising it constantly. Why? Because I knew that I did not have the IT skills to self publish on Amazon and neither could I afford the huge sums publishing companies demanded. Luckily for me a friend recommended Sonder's assisted publishing service and now a hardback, paperback and e book (all containing photographs) are for sale. I have greatly appreciated the individual attention and ongoing support throughout the whole process and would recommend this service to anyone like me, who needs help and reassurance that it will all work out well!" Susan Rose, author of Breaking Barriers.
"Working with Tim on my manuscript and getting it ready to publish on Amazon was delightfully easy. Tim took care of all the things I was unsure of, staying in touch throughout the process and keeping me informed at all times. Before I knew it, I had a book ready to go, formatted, with a cover design, and with an ISBN number. Tim and Ruth have been in touch since my book went live to make sure I am happy with everything and have sent marketing ideas and posters for me to use to help sell my book. A first-class service, at a very reasonable price. I can’t recommend Sonder Books assisted publishing service highly enough and look forward to working with them again in the future. Amanda Rose, author of Copper Falls
"Having had a short story accepted for one of their anthologies, and having had help getting my book up on Amazon UK, I found Ruth and Tim/Sonder Books friendly, enterprising, open to new ideas and effective. Their business model is unusual and affordable. I would recommend them." - Tessa Woodward, author of Small Crimes and In the Middle of Somewhere
