Talk to us about your book
Start with a free book review: submit your manuscript and we'll tell you where it stands and what it needs next. If you'd rather ask a question first, send an enquiry, call, message us on WhatsApp, use live chat or email. There's no obligation either way.
Submit your manuscript for a free book review
Send the whole book, or at least the first three chapters. A member of the team reads it and sends you our feedback, then decides whether we're a good fit: we may accept the book, decline it, or accept it with conditions. The review is free and you're under no obligation.
One Word or PDF file, up to 15 MB. No chapters, or a larger file? Use the enquiry form below. See how the review works.

Frequently asked questions
If your question isn't here, ask us.
What is the free book review?
It's a free review of your manuscript. You send the whole book, or at least the first three chapters if it's still in progress. A member of the team reads it, sends you our feedback and decides whether we're a good fit for your book: we may accept it, decline it, or accept it with conditions. You're under no obligation.
What happens after I submit my manuscript?
A member of the team reads it and sends you our feedback. If we think we're a good fit, we'll add a recommended publishing roadmap for you to approve. Once you have, we send the service agreement for you to review and sign, and work begins when it's signed.
How long will it take?
It depends on the book and how much you send. If you'd like to know where things stand, call, WhatsApp or email us and we'll tell you.
How much does it cost?
The cost of publishing a book varies widely between providers and between books. Our review is free. Our services are paid for, and what you pay depends on your book and what it needs. You'll see a written quote and the service agreement, including fees and payment dates, before you commit to anything.
What if I only have an idea, or my book isn't finished?
If you have at least three chapters, submit them for a free review. If you're still at the idea stage, send us an enquiry and tell us what you're hoping to create: our book writing service covers planning, manuscript development and ghostwriting.
Who is named as the publisher, and whose name is on the book?
You're credited as the author, under your own name or a pen name, as set out in your agreement. The publisher named in the book's metadata depends on whose ISBN is used: you can use one registered to your own imprint, or ours. If we use ours, we're listed as the publisher, but that gives us no rights in your book.
Where will my book be sold, and through whose accounts?
Through your own Amazon KDP and IngramSpark accounts, which are in your name. Those accounts can make your eBook, paperback or hardback available to potentially more than 50 retailers, wholesalers and bookshops, including Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Gardners, Waterstones and Blackwell's. Whether a particular bookshop stocks a title is its own decision.
Do I keep my rights and royalties?
Yes. You keep all rights in your book, and we never take ownership of it. Retailers pay your royalties directly to you through your own accounts. Your service agreement also covers the rights in the design and editing work we create, so you can publish and sell your book freely.
Can I use just one service?
Tell us what you have in mind. After we've reviewed your manuscript, we'll recommend whether a single service or a fuller roadmap makes sense for your book, and the decision is yours.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Please read our Non-Disclosure Agreement and privacy notice to see how we handle what you send. Phone, WhatsApp, chat and email are fine for questions, but please send your manuscript through the form rather than by email, WhatsApp or chat, because that is where our Terms and NDA are accepted.
Do you use AI tools?
Our privacy notice explains which AI-assisted tools we use to support our editing, proofreading and administration, and how to ask us not to use them on your manuscript.
Where are you based, and how do we work together?
We're based in the UK and work with authors online, by phone, WhatsApp, video call, live chat and email.
I'm not sure what my book needs. Can you help?
That's what the free review is for. Submit your manuscript and our feedback will tell you where the book stands and what it needs next. If we're a good fit, we'll recommend a roadmap and explain each step.
What file can I send?
One Word (.doc or .docx) or PDF file of up to 15 MB: the whole manuscript, or at least the first three chapters. If your file is larger, or your book doesn't have chapters, such as a picture book or a poetry collection, send us an enquiry and we'll tell you what to send.
Which genres do you work with?
Our team's portfolio covers memoir, children's books, self-help, fiction, romance, mystery, fantasy and poetry. Tell us about your book and we'll tell you honestly whether we're a good fit.
