Digital publishing

We work with authors to produce ebooks and audiobooks to the highest standards and then distribute them to retailers worldwide.

Digital Book Publishing

In addition to producing high-quality printed books, we provide our authors with ebook and audiobook production and distribution services. With the growing demand for digital content, readers now expect to be able to access a book in multiple formats, so we strongly encourage our authors to publish a digital version alongside their print edition wherever possible.

Many authors release their ebooks before the printed version to gauge audience reaction, build anticipation, and create buzz about the book’s release. Others prefer to publish both formats simultaneously, allowing their marketing efforts to benefit both versions. This approach maximises visibility and helps authors reach a broader audience through multiple channels.

Ebook Publishing

We provide comprehensive support for authors with every aspect of ebook production and distribution, ensuring that their ebooks are polished, professional, and ready for a global audience. Our services cover everything from ebook creation to copy editing, cover design, ISBN assignment, and meticulous data management. We handle the technical aspects of ebook formatting, ensuring that your book looks and functions beautifully across various platforms including Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and more.

Dual Format Publishing

The majority of our authors publish an ebook alongside their printed book to give their title the widest market reach possible.

For authors who wish to publish an ebook, we begin the production process once the final print-ready files have been signed off by our production team. This ensures we are using the most up-to-date and approved text and cover files to create your ebook.

Our Digital team then takes these final production files and generates an EPUB 3.0 file, fully compatible with all e-reading devices and retailer platforms.

After the ebook is created, we send the author a proof file to review. This allows you to confirm that the ebook meets your expectations before it’s made available for sale across major retailers, including Amazon, Apple, Google Play, Kobo, and more.

Ebook Only Publishing

For those wanting to publish their title as an ebook only, we offer a full digital publishing service to get their book into the market.

Our full ebook publishing and distribution service provides everything you need to create and distribute your ebook. This includes front cover design, formatting, conversion, international distribution, ISBN allocation, and bibliographic data management to ensure your book is professionally presented and easily accessible worldwide.

For authors seeking to perfect their manuscript, we offer a copy editing service to ensure it’s error-free. Additionally, we provide a range of marketing options to help promote your ebook, from social media strategies to email campaigns, ensuring it reaches the right audience and maximises sales potential.

Audiobook Production & Distribution

We offer a high-quality audiobook production and distribution service to help authors access the growing audiobook market. Traditionally, entering this market has been challenging due to high production costs and technical complexities, but our service simplifies the process. We connect authors with professional voice actors, sound engineers and top-tier studios to create audiobooks that meet the stringent technical standards required by retailers.

Audiobook Production

Producing an audiobook is a complex process that can lead to poor quality if not done properly. Our streamlined process ensures that this doesn’t happen, delivering high-quality audiobooks every time.

For authors that choose to produce an audiobook with us, they'll first choose an actor from our trusted roster to narrate your book. We offer a variety of vocal talents and you can select the one that best fits your book’s tone. To ensure accuracy, we provide a questionnaire for you to brief the narrator on specifics like accents or pronunciations.

Recording takes place over several sessions. Afterwards, we send you a copy for review, allowing time for any necessary re-recordings. While recording is happening, your audiobook cover is formatted to meet retailer specifications. The production process typically takes around six weeks, depending on studio and actor availability.

For authors wishing to handle distribution themselves, the process ends here. However, most authors opt to have us distribute their audiobooks to retailers worldwide on their behalf.

Audiobook Distribution

We distribute through all the major players in the audio distribution market, bringing new retailers online as needed.

We offer two distribution options for your audiobook. With our Basic Distribution Service, we will distribute your audiobook exclusively through Audible, Amazon, and Apple for an initial two years. You will receive a royalty rate of 40% of the cover price (set by retailers), with a 15% commission deducted from the net receipts of sales. After the first two years, authors can choose to renew their distribution to these platforms.

The Full Distribution Service extends your audiobook’s reach by distributing it to an expanded network of up to 80 retailers, including Audible, Amazon, Apple, Spotify, YouTube, Storytel, Google Play, Kobo, Audiobooks.com, and Barnes & Noble US for an initial two years. You will receive a royalty rate of 35% of the cover price, with a 15% commission deducted from the net sales receipts. We will also assign an ISBN to your audiobook and manage the dissemination of metadata to retailers. After the first two years, authors can renew distribution to these platforms.

For both services, we provide a sample of your audiobook on our website and offer marketing materials that authors can use to promote their books. We also accept audiobook files produced elsewhere, subject to approval.
