In 2010, we could see that the changes in the world of books would have an impact on our publishers and authors, so we decided to investigate the ‘business of books’. Among many findings, one of the biggest issues we found was that self-publishing is incredibly difficult. So much so, that most manuscripts never progressed to a physical book. The enormous process of setting up a book, from finding an editor to having the book formatted, was often too daunting and a very real barrier for most self-publishers. It takes a lot of time and dedication to finish writing a manuscript, so to then be faced with navigating the intricacies of the publishing world was, understandably, something that could be quite disheartening and something we wanted to fix. So we did.

We started afresh and came up with an innovative way to manage both our book production and customer interaction. We knew that the future of printing and self-publishing was to offer great quality, smaller print-runs with a faster turnaround at a really affordable price.
Today, our solutions provide self-publishers with an experienced and passionate team who are eager lend their expertise to all types of book projects.
