Updated September 2026. Package prices converted from our United States list at 1 USD = 0.74 GBP (September 2026 rate).
Publishing a book in United Kingdom costs anywhere from £515 for a short first book to £7,395 for a full legacy package with ghostwriting, PR and international distribution. Four things move that number: length, interior colour, print run, and how much of the work you want done for you.
These are our standard package prices converted at the rate shown, so figures move with the exchange rate. Every package is built on a 200-page basis, black-and-white interior, perfect bound, gloss cover. Shipping is separate. The author keeps 100% of royalties in every package. eBook conversion and global distribution are included from the Complete package upward.
Editing is the one most authors under-budget. A 90,000-word manuscript needing developmental work is a different project from one that needs a proofread.
Between £515 and £7,395 depending on the package. Most first-time authors publishing a standard-length book land between £960 and £1,850.
Not with a full service. At the lower end you are doing the editing, cover and layout yourself, and paying mainly for ISBN and printing.
Printing is included in the packages. Distribution to bookstores and online retailers is separate, and can be print-on-demand with no upfront stock, or a print run.
Typically 6 to 8 weeks from the final manuscript for a standard package. Rush timelines are possible and are priced as a rush.
Yes. You keep your copyright and 100% of your royalties. We are a self-publishing company — not a traditional publisher, and not a partnership.
