Tyler Griffen championed my debut novel when I was convinced nobody would want it. He stayed committed throughout a long editorial process and was patient and reassuring whenever I had doubts. The book came out last spring and the response has been more than I dared hope for.

Maaz Rayyan is brilliant. I came with what I thought was a finished manuscript and he honestly guided me through another editing pass. We spent two months tightening everything up and the difference was enormous. Readers now say the book feels effortless to read.

Tyler Griffen handled my historical fiction manuscript with real care. He clearly understood what I was going for thematically. His editorial notes were detailed and thoughtful, never generic.

Really professional and thorough experience with The Book Writer throughout. The editorial notes were excellent and the design team delivered a cover that I loved from the first draft. Everything moved on schedule and the whole team kept me informed the entire way through.
Maaz Rayyan signed my collection of short stories, which surprised both of us a little because short fiction is a tough sell. But he went for it with real conviction and the marketing reflected that confidence. The book reached places I never expected.
The Book Writer came recommended to me by my writing group and I can see why they’re so well regarded. Tyler Griffen was knowledgeable, committed and genuinely invested in the success of my book. He pushed back on the title I’d chosen and he was absolutely right to do so.
In 2015, we kept running into the same frustrating reality. Writers with genuinely brilliant manuscripts, sitting in drawers, never published. Not because the writing wasn't good enough. Because breaking into traditional publishing is hard, and going it alone felt overwhelming without knowing where to start.

Here’s the honest answer: it depends on your book.
A 30-page children’s picture book and a 110,000-word historical fiction novel are not the same project. Neither are a polished manuscript that just needs formatting and a first draft that needs developmental editing from the ground up. Length, genre, services needed, it all factors in.
What we don’t do is bundle you into a package full of services you never asked for. When you come to us for a free consultation, we look at your specific book, talk through what it actually needs, and give you a quote that reflects that, nothing more, nothing less. No hidden fees showing up later. No pressure to add things you don’t need.
Just clear pricing for exactly what your book requires.

There are plenty of UK book publishing companies out there. Here’s what makes us different.
We’re small enough that you’ll always speak directly to the people working on your book, your editor, your designer, your project lead. Not a ticketing system. Not a call centre. Actual people who’ve read your manuscript and care how it turns out.
We’ve been one of the leading publishing houses in London since 2015. That means we’ve seen what works and what wastes authors’ money, and we’ll always tell you which is which. If your manuscript needs more work before it’s ready, we’d rather say so upfront than take your money and publish something that’ll underperform.
Your creative vision stays yours. Your rights stay yours. Our job is to make your book the best version of itself and get it in front of the readers it deserves.
Get Started →When we publish your book, it doesn't sit quietly in one corner of the internet. It goes live across every major platform and retailer worldwide, available in every format, to every reader, wherever they are.
One submission from us. Global availability for you. We handle every platform's technical requirements, formatting variations, and distribution logistics, so you don't have to figure any of it out yourself.
