Publishing support for writers and small publishers
We’re a small, highly regarded team helping writers through the pre-press stages, print production and getting books ready for publication – especially when the project is a little bit niche or a little bit complex.
Editing & manuscript support
Friendly structural help, copy-editing and proofreading to get your book ready for the world.
Design & production choices
Covers, page layout, paper and binding explained clearly, with examples and options.
Short-run, POD & litho printing
We manage print production whether you need a small run, print-on-demand, or full litho.
Online sales & Nielsen
Help with ISBNs, metadata, Nielsen registration and routes into online selling.
Books for niche markets
Artist books, specialist non-fiction and local projects where the readership is focused and specific.
A small, attentive team
Competent, calm support from people who know the process and remember your name.
Kinds of books we particularly enjoy
We’re happy to look at almost any genre, but these are the books that often find their way to our desks.
Artist books & visual projects
Artist books, visual journals and projects where images and layout really matter.
Memoirs & life stories
Personal histories, family stories and reflective writing with photographs and archives.
Histories & local projects
Community and local histories, heritage projects and books with multiple contributors.
Cookbooks & complex titles
Heavily illustrated or recipe-based books where structure, indexing and clarity are key.
Some books we’re especially proud of
A small selection of recent projects – from artist books and memoirs to histories and cookbooks.
Who we are & how we work
We’re a small, very hands-on publishing support studio. Our role is to look after the details of editing, design and production so you can keep your energy for the writing itself.
- One-to-one contact with an experienced publishing professional.
- Clear explanations of options, costs and timescales.
- Support for short-run, print-on-demand and litho projects.
- Help with ISBNs, metadata, and getting your book visible to readers.
If you’d like to talk about a project, you can send us a short outline and we’ll suggest some next steps.
