The perfect interior to bring your words to life
Readers expect a perfect interior when they buy your book. But many authors try to design the interior themselves. The result? A poor reading experience, which leads to bad reviews.
After we professionally format your interior, it will look beautiful and display perfectly in all formats.
Whether your reader is enjoying your ebook, paperback, or hardback your words will shine. So why not give your writing the professional finish it deserves?
Your interior design includes these 16 important elements:

NO CONTRACT = FREEDOM
Just say no to a bad contract
Many authors tell us they got tricked into signing a bad contract. They were approached by a publisher and felt flattered, so they signed, only to discover they'd made a big mistake, giving away their rights, royalties and ownership.
So to help you keep 100% in control over your book, we don't ask you to sign a contract.
Freedom is fairer.
Enjoy peace of mind with:
COPYRIGHT CONTROL
Keep your book's copyright. Forever.
Unlike most companies we'll never ask you to sign away your book's copyright.
You keep full ownership of your book, now and forever.
Plus, this gives you the freedom to move publishers, turn your book into an audiobook or film, or translate it to different languages, all while knowing the rights are still yours.
Enjoy peace of mind knowing you:
FAIRER FOR YOU
Don't settle for anything less
Writing a book is tough enough. Unfortunately, many companies make it worse by taking authors' rights and royalties, and tying them to bad contracts. We think that's unfair.

SMALL FAMILY BUSINESS
Personal and friendly support
So many companies are faceless and cold to new authors. You get passed from person to person and never know who you're really dealing with. Frustrating to say the least! We're family-run so you'll always know who you're talking to, and we'll stay with you from start to finish.
A family-run business that treats authors like family.
A lot of publishing companies talk about their corporate offices, industry awards or fancy jargon. But to many new authors this can seem daunting and intimidating.
You won't find any corporate fanciness here. We work from our home here in England, and prefer to think of our authors as friends.
Our aim is to help you get past the hurdles so you can write and publish your book without stress or frustration.
There are many steps to get absolutely right when you publish your book. At times it can seem so overwhelming many authors simply give up. It's such a shame as lots of wonderful books never get to see the light of day.
That's why we built a service that's fairer to authors.
So you can get your book finished, formatted and published without getting frustrated or overwhelmed.
We look forward to working with you and welcoming you to the 'family'.
