Most authors think the hard part is writing the book. Then the proofreading, cover design, formatting, and platform rules show up, and a lot of good manuscripts stall right there. That’s where we come in. British Book Publishing is a book publisher UK writers can hand the whole process to. We’ll take your manuscript from first read to a live listing on Amazon, Kindle, Kobo, IngramSpark, and Barnes & Noble. You keep the rights, and every penny of your royalties.

How it works

1. Tell us about your book: Share what you’ve written and what you need help with.
2. We read your draft: Our proofreaders check whether it’s ready or needs work first.
3. Edits and design: We handle any editing, layout, and cover work you’ve asked for.
4. Publish: We set up the platforms and get your book in front of readers.

What you keep

• Ownership of your work, and all of your royalties
• One payment up front, with no hidden costs
• Free edits and revisions, and the final say at every stage
