What we offer

 

Getting a book published through an established traditional publisher can be something of a minefield. It's what most new or would-be writers want, but few, if any, of the big publishers will accept manuscript directly, and most will advise you to go through an agent. And that's often the right thing to do, although it too can take time.

​

We are different.

We are a small indie publisher, and we work with our authors to give a personalised service to each and every one of you.

HERE'S WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

So you've written your novel, your book of poems, or your collection of short stories, and you want to see it in print. With a glossy cover and all the blurb about you. Of course you do.

​

EDITING

If you haven't already done so, you'll need to edit it - to within an inch of its life! Editing is time consuming and - by its very nature - repetitious. But it's vitally important if you want your work to look good. It's not always easy to see your own typos and errors, and you may need someone else to edit your book for you. There are a range of services we offer, and details are available in our 'Editing Options' page.

​

PUBLISHING

Getting a book published through an established traditional publisher can be something of a minefield. It's what most new or would-be writers want, but few, if any, of the big publishers will accept your manuscript directly, and most will advise you to go through an agent. And that's often the right thing to do, although it too can take time.

​

But what if you simply want to have your work printed for yourself? For your family? Your friends? Colleagues? Or a charity? What if you don't want to make the changes that an agent, or a publisher, may insist on? That's where we can help.

​​

Alongside our editing services, we are a small indie publisher. However, unlike the large publishing companies, we are not in a position to pay advances to authors. But also unlike most traditional publishers, we won't commit you to writing 2, 3 or more books (although you may want to do that anyway!). We won't ask you for any money towards the publishing costs like some publishers, and we won't take 6 months to respond to you! We will not be responsible for the marketing of your book, but we can offer a limited marketing campaign.

​​

We have edited and published several books for a variety of authors, and designed their covers . And we can do the same for you.
