The Production Side
The Half Of Publishing Nobody Warns You About
Writing ends at the manuscript. Everything after it trim sizes, gutters, spine widths, color profiles, ISBNs, BISAC codes, territory pricing and returns settings is manufacturing and logistics.
This is the stage where books get rejected at upload, printed with text sliding into the gutter, or listed at a price that makes them unprofitable in the UK. We handle the specifications, produce a physical proof you can hold, and set up your distribution so bookstores and libraries can actually order the title rather than merely find it.
Production Services
From Word Document To Warehouse Shelf
Every service below exists because an author somewhere lost weeks or a print run to getting it wrong.
Interior Typesetting
Professional page design with correct trim size, gutters, margins, running heads, folios, chapter openers, drop caps, widow and orphan control and properly kerned body text.
Print-Ready File Preparation
PDF/X-1a export with embedded fonts, 300 DPI images, flattened transparency, correct bleed and a preflight report — the reason our uploads pass first time.
Print-On-Demand Setup
Amazon KDP Print and IngramSpark accounts configured with your trim, paper, lamination and pricing, so books are manufactured only when someone buys one.
Offset & Bulk Print Runs
Quotes from vetted offset printers for 500 copies and up, with paper stock samples, foil, emboss and spot-UV options for events, bulk sales and corporate orders.
ISBN, Barcode & Metadata
ISBN assignment per format, EAN barcode with embedded price, BISAC categories, keywords, blurb, contributor records and territory-by-territory pricing.
Library Supply
Listings through Ingram, Gardners and Baker & Taylor so bookshops, schools, universities and library systems can order your title through their normal channels.
Formats & Bindings
Choose How Your Book Feels In The Hand
Binding, paper and finish change both the reading experience and your unit cost. We price the realistic options side by side before you decide.
Perfect-Bound Paperback
The standard trade paperback: glued square spine, matte or gloss laminate cover, the most cost-effective format for fiction and non-fiction.
Case Laminate Hardcover
Printed hard boards with no dust jacket durable, striking and popular for children's books, gift editions and libraries.
Cloth & Dust Jacket
Cloth-bound boards with a printed jacket and flap copy, for collector editions, prestige non-fiction and literary hardbacks.
Coil & Wire-O
Lay-flat binding for workbooks, cookbooks, journals, manuals and anything a reader needs to keep open on a surface.
Large Print & Accessible
16pt+ typesetting, high-contrast layout and generous leading for accessible editions and library accessibility collections.
Premium Color Interiors
Standard or premium color on coated stock for photography, art, children's picture books and illustrated non-fiction.
