Your Book Deserves To Be Published Properly.
We are not for everyone.
If you're looking for a "get published quick" vanity press that takes your rights and prints substandard books, we can't help you. We work with authors who treat their book as a legacy.
Burned by Vanity Presses?
Many authors come to us after spending thousands on "package deals" that deliver poor editing and generic covers. We help you reclaim your work and publish it with the dignity it deserves.

Your questions, answered.
Every project is unique. Our services start from roughly £1,500 for a professional design and distribution setup. Full editing packages vary based on word count. We provide transparent, fixed-fee quotes with no hidden costs.
Yes, to sell through retailers you need an ISBN. Unlike many services, we register your ISBN with Nielsen in your name (or your imprint name), ensuring you are the legal publisher of record.
We list your book on the Gardners and Bertram databases, which are used by UK bookstores. While we cannot guarantee a store will choose to stock a physical copy on their shelves, your book will be available for customers to order in-store and online.
We set up your distribution accounts so that sales revenue goes directly from the retailer (like Amazon or Ingram) to your bank account. We take 0% commission on your sales.
