Editing and proof reading
We carry out both editing and proofreading. We can provide both or part services. We will always work with the author and we understand that the Queen's English is not always what the author is trying to portray.

Typesetting
We can:
Typeset your work into ready to print files. Typeset a whole book or just check it over and produce the required PDF file for you. Turn your hand-written manuscript into print ready files. |
Reviewing work
If you would like a review of your work, we also provide this service. This would include the use of correct punctuation and paragraph style and advice on the layout and flow of a book. We will be critical (but never personal) and tell you if we feel there are problems with your work.
We will advise on your work and can discuss this personally with you. |
Page Layout
Using the latest software we can lay out your work in a format both pleasing to you and your target audience.
We will set out your work using the correct printable fonts and output it in the correct file type, (normally pdf) for your printer. We will help determine the finished size of your book and page count. This is important for marketing, pricing and for the cover design. Ebook formating is also available. |
Book cover design
We can:
Help you produce the cover you want. Covers are very important and we know that authors, being creative and imaginative people, have a good idea what they want and don't want. Provide the technical knowledge to produce a cover pleasing to you and your printer. We will, if you require, also help source or produce images that you can use without copyright infringment. Any design we produce for you will be yours to use however you want, for advertising or on websites and facebook etc.. |
What to do next
If you think we can help in just part or all of your publishing requirements then email us with your ideas and we will work with you to produce a product everyone is happy with.
For prices, we will need to see your work or at least part of it with a word count and details of your requirements.

Assisted books
Our assisted production uses all the facilities our mainstream production uses but with financial assistance from the author.
Assisted production is a form of self publishing.
The difference with assisted production is that we take on some of the gamble by asking the author to pay only the set-up costs (editing, typesetting and file registration costs) and we pay an increased royalty over mainstream but help recover our costs by sharing the profit accrued from sales. This uses print on demand (POD) to supply bookshops throughout the world. This method is ideal if you are on a budget. You also get to buy the books at a reduced price so you can sell them or give them to family/friends.

Mainstream
We assess all manuscripts sent to us, including the ones for self publishing and if one stands out we will offer to publish the book and market it. We pay all costs on set-up and pay royalties on sales.
Independent Publishing
We will provide our services as required to help you get a quality product to sell for yourself (although we will still market your book through our worldwide distributor). In self publishing you set the price of the book and control the profit. You buy books at cost price in any quantity that suits. You can use any or all of our services to help you produce your book.
