Writer, Publisher

'Everyone has a book inside them'. But how did it get there? And more importantly, how do you get it... out? I have published 5 of my own books and ghost written many others, so if you have a collection of poems, some local history research, a half written novel, a fascinating life story, recipes from your Grandmother or information about a hobby that you want to share then I can take your raw work and turn it into a professionally published book that you can either give to your friends and family or even make available through High Street and online retailers for anyone to buy. I can produce illustrations and cover design to bring your book to life and the finished book will be available for you to order any quantity, so you can have just one copy for yourself, one for all your friends, or enough to sell to your school, through local bookshops or even worldwide through the global book ordering systems. My partner and I work together on illustrations, editing and proof reading to ensure the highest levels of accuracy, and to ensure that your book is well balanced from both a male and female perspective. Our service is priced very simply with a flat fee per word for production of the book and then a small charge per copy ordered, both of which depend on whether the book is for private distribution only or if it needs an ISBN number for distribution through retailers. If you want to sell your book commercially, we can even help you to market it, create a website, give you ideas for promotion, organise signings and create articles and press releases. If you have a book inside you, let me help you turn it into something that you can be truly proud of.
