What we do
Twelve services, one production team
Take the full publishing package, or just the piece your book is missing. Nothing is bundled to pad an invoice.
How it works
Four steps, no mystery
You will always know what stage your book is at, who is working on it and what happens next.
Read and assess
A senior editor reads your manuscript and writes you a plain-English report on what it needs.
Shape the book
Editing, ghostwriting or restructuring — whatever the story actually calls for, nothing it does not.
Make it beautiful
Cover design, interior typesetting, illustration and audio, produced to retail specification.
Put it in front of readers
Print, ebook and audio distribution, metadata that ranks, and a launch plan you can actually run.
A publisher that works for the author, not around them
We are a small studio of editors, designers, illustrators and narrators who took the parts of traditional publishing that actually help a book and threw out the parts that only help the publisher.
- You keep copyright, files and 100% of your royalties.
- Fixed, itemised pricing agreed before anything starts.
- One point of contact from first read to launch day.
- Distribution into Australian and international retail and libraries.
Recent work
Covers that earn a second look on a crowded table
Literary fiction, memoir, crime, business and picture books — each designed for the shelf it will sit on, then tested at thumbnail size where most readers meet it first.
