Six stages, no mystery

A Word file, a Google Doc, or three chapters and an outline. We read every submission ourselves — no automated triage, no sales script.

Your part: Send your draft and tell us where you'd like it to end up.

You receive a written assessment: what the book needs, what it doesn't, and an itemised quote. If a cheaper route serves you better, we say so.

Your part: Approve the quote, or ask us to rework it.

Copy-editing and proofreading in tracked changes, with a style sheet built for your series. Nothing is changed silently.

Your part: Accept or reject each change. It stays your voice.

Three cover directions, then interior setting: measure, leading, chapter openers, front and back matter. Files built for print and digital in parallel.

Your part: Choose a cover direction and review two revision rounds.

A printed proof is posted to you. You read it in the format your readers will. Nothing goes live before you sign it off in writing.

Your part: Read the proof, mark anything up, approve.

Retail listings go live, distribution channels activate, legal deposit is filed, and — on marketing packages — the twelve-week campaign begins.

Your part: Sign books, talk to readers, start the next one.
