Self Publishing UK

When you have completed your manuscript, we can turn it into an attractive book for your family to enjoy. Our clients are always delighted to see the fruits of their labours in the form of an actual book – something of real value to hand down to future generations.

(Self publishing is not the same thing as “vanity publishing”, which usually involves authors paying for large quantities of books that they attempt to sell for profit. Typically, the vanity publisher provides no help with marketing and distribution.)

We specialise in small-scale production for family and friends. However, authors can always send one of our editions off to be assessed by a commercial publisher if they feel that their work might be of interest to a wider readership.

You have a range of book formats to choose from:

• Large, leather-bound “coffee table” volumes
• Standard sized hardback books in individually designed dust jackets
• Good quality paperbacks

All our book formats include black and white and colour photographs. They make marvellous presents at Christmas or to mark a special anniversary.

Many clients use our full service of writing support, copy editing and book production. Alternatively, you can bring us a finished manuscript for a basic service of just layout, printing and binding.

“Thank you very much for making such a lovely job of ‘The Book’. I’m very, very pleased with the final results of both our efforts.” Mrs B McLoughlin, November 2005

“The books arrived on time and I'm absolutely delighted... the daily account, plus the photographs, make it come to life... thank you for your help and suggestions, very much appreciated.” Miss P Bozier, December 2006
