Eight services that take a book from manuscript to launch, for first-time and experienced authors alike. You don't need to know which ones you need before you start: submit your manuscript for a free book review, and we'll recommend what your book needs and explain why.
The review is free, with no obligation. Prefer to call? Ring +44 7456 061335 or WhatsApp (opens in a new tab).
What matters now is a clear route to a finished, published book. A roadmap for a manuscript usually draws on book editing, cover design, interior layout design, formatting and publication set-up. We'll recommend which of these your book needs once we've read it.
If the book isn't written yet, book writing can include planning, manuscript development and ghostwriting. Tell us what you're hoping to create.

You don't have to choose services before you talk to us. Submit your manuscript for a free book review and we'll send you our feedback.
If we're a good fit, we'll recommend a publishing roadmap: the services we'd suggest, in what order, and why. Nothing goes ahead until you've approved it, and you'll see a written quote and the service agreement before you commit. Our services are paid for; the review is not.
No. Your roadmap depends on your book and what you want from it. After the free review, we'll recommend what your book needs and why, and you decide what goes ahead.
It depends on where the draft is. A developmental edit looks at the big picture: structure, pacing, character or argument. A copy-edit works line by line on clarity, consistency and style. Proofreading is the last check, once the pages are laid out. Our guide Which kind of edit does my book need? explains the difference in more detail.
