Publishing

Affordable self-publishing services

I can help you self-publish your poetry collection / manuscript via your own Amazon KDP platform (I'll guide you through opening up a publishing account if you don't already have one - it's linked to your regular Amazon account).

I can:

  • Format your manuscript for paperback and Kindle.
  • Register the title, author, ISBN, key words, etc.
  • Design a bespoke cover (front/back and spine).
  • Download and publish completed print-ready files (body, cover) and then publish in both paperback and Kindle to the global Amazon KDP platform. Amazon Print on Demand books are available in 13 countries worldwide - click on any of our books to view the countries this service currently covers.


Also included: tips and hints for marketing and promoting your book once published (book readings / signings / community events / the book's FB pages / website etc).

Once your title is published I then hand the Amazon account back to you, so you get paid royalties directly from Amazon every month - I don't have any further access to your account. You earn 100% royalties on every unit you sell. You can also order author copies direct from Amazon at cost (roughly 50-60% of the retail value) for you to sell, giveaway, etc.

I have published over 100 titles for other people. Just a few example covers below. 

If you decide to go ahead I will need:

  • The completed manuscript.
  • Title (subtitle) and author's name exactly as you'd like it registered.
  • The blurb for the back, and for Amazon book's description.
  • The author's bio.
  • An author's picture for the back (optional, but quite a few books do have the author on the back cover).
  • Extra pages, eg foreword, dedication page, acknowledgments etc.

Prices start from just £200* (GBP), which includes paperback and Kindle versions. *This is based on a typical poetry collection of up to around 100 pages. In terms of turnaround, depending upon the status of your manuscript, and your requirements for the cover etc, you could probably have a book through your letterbox in a couple of weeks from the go ahead!
