Printed book service – pre-publication – production – sales and distribution

 We take the raw text of your book and, after consultation and clear communication, we will create a print-ready file to your specification. Of course we offer hardback and paperback formats as standard, but we can also produce books in any cover material, shape or size that may suit your genre or concept - for example unusual and/or more tactile materials are very popular within the children’s and young adults’ sector.

 We offer different kinds of printing technology to suit you and your needs – as well as professional proof reading, editing consultation and pre-publication market research throughout the UK book industry. These services are a vital way of getting feedback from fellow professionals in both the publishing and retail areas to help you with the final stages of the book’s production and ensure that it is as well-produced for its intended readership as possible.

 Once your title is ready we will find the right typesetter or graphic designer for you so that the layout and the cover design can be completed to the highest standards with market suitability in mind.
