You keep everything

Your copyright, your imprint, your retail accounts, one hundred per cent of your royalties. We are paid for work, never for a share of your book.

Made by humans

Editors who read, designers who draw, typesetters who count. Nothing here is a template with your title dropped into it.

One named contact

A single publication manager from manuscript to launch day. No ticket queue, no handovers, no wondering where your book has got to.

Priced in daylight

Every service carries a published price and published terms. No consultation call required to find out what something costs.

Marianne Ellis, author of The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter

“They treated a first novel like it mattered — read every line, argued with me twice, and made the book better than I could on my own.”

Marianne wrote for eleven years before she showed anyone. Quill & Mark edited, designed and launched The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter in nine weeks — and it has been reprinting ever since.
