COVER DESIGN
Beautiful bespoke cover design with unlimited changes
We've designed over 2,000 books, so you're guaranteed a beautiful and professional cover to help your book sell.
And with unlimited changes, we keep designing until you're 100% happy with your new book cover.

"If you want a book cover that helps to sell your book, I highly recommend Bespoke."
— Trish Evans, author of Katy's Ghost
interior formatting
The perfect interior to bring your words to life - all formats included
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:
"Caroline formatted my interior. I really felt I was working with a friend and somebody who cared passionately about realizing my vision for my book."
— Michelle Facos, author of An American in Pandemic Paris
No tech TRAUMAS
We take care of listing your book on Amazon
If you're not a computer whizz, getting your book onto Amazon can seem like a task better left to NASA.
So to help you avoid all the frustration and overwhelm we'll take care of it all for you.
You get all this included:
"Peter worked with me to help upload my manuscript to Amazon. I could have never done it on my own."
— Anthony Conti, author of Everyday Happiness
FAIRER FOR YOU
Keep 100% of your book's royalties
You've worked hard writing your book, so why give away the money you earn from it?
Unlike most publishing companies, we don't take a penny of your book's royalties.
And they're paid straight to you. We don't get in the middle. Much fairer, don't you think?
Enjoy peace of mind knowing you:
We believe in treating authors fairly
worry-free

We'll guide you through the process:

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, lots of companies make it worse by taking authors' rights and royalties, and tying them into bad contracts. We think that's unfair.
So we re-wrote the rules to make a service that's fairer to you - the author.

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'.
Email owners Peter & Caroline anytime. We want to hear from you.
