Every book made honestly, by people who read it first.

We are an independent print and publishing partner based in London, established in 2020, working across fiction and non-fiction, memoir, self-help, children’s books and translated titles. Manuscripts come to us finished; they leave as professionally produced, distributed books that remain entirely yours. Every cost is explained before you commit, and ownership of your work never changes hands.

An editor and author working through a manuscript together

Our Story

A publishing partner built around the author.

UK Print and Publish was created because too many authors reach the end of a manuscript and face a wall of decisions no one takes the time to explain: which type of editing the book genuinely needs, what trim size suits its genre, or why a cover that looked impressive on a monitor appears amateur at thumbnail size.

That is where our work begins. You bring the finished draft. We manage everything beyond the writing, explaining each recommendation clearly before you are asked to approve or pay for it.

Distribution through major retail, library, and trade channels
Short-run and print-on-demand, carefully proofed before printing
Full creative control and full rights, protected in your name

Our Promise

Every story deserves a fair shot.

A finished manuscript should not lose momentum simply because publishing and production feel like a closed system. We turn your completed draft into a professionally produced book people can discover, purchase, and hold, without asking you to surrender ownership of what you created.

Editing & Design

Thoughtful structural and copy editing, with the reasoning behind every recommendation explained clearly, rather than hidden beneath confusing track-changes jargon.

Print & Distribution

Produced to the correct specifications, proofed before the final print run, and listed through the places readers genuinely use to discover books.

Voice, Vision, Rights

Your book remains yours, including its voice, direction, decisions and royalties. We manage the production process; you retain everything that matters.

Beyond English

We publish in English, French and German as standard, with additional European languages available on request, including accurate accents, typography and metadata.

How We Work

Behind every finished book is someone who read it properly.

We work with first-time authors and writers preparing their sixth title, across genres, formats and languages. The principle remains the same: someone reads your full manuscript, explains honestly what it needs, provides a quote for exactly that work, and stays involved from the first review to the finished book in your hands.

You keep the rights

Every right and every royalty remains yours, clearly written into the agreement before you pay a penny.

Fixed fee, itemised

You see the cost of every stage upfront, with the freedom to remove anything your book does not require.

No junior hand-offs

You communicate directly with the people reading, editing, designing and producing your book from beginning to end.

We’ll tell you if it’s not ready

If your manuscript needs further work before production begins, we tell you honestly before you spend anything.

Frequently Asked

Questions authors ask before they sign.

Clear answers to the questions most authors ask before deciding to work with us. If your question is not covered here, contact us, and we will answer it properly.

What kind of publisher is UK Print and Publish?

We sit between the two publishing models most authors already understand. You retain full rights and royalties, as you would when self-publishing, while receiving professional editing, design, printing and distribution, as you would expect from a traditional publishing house. You maintain creative control; we manage production and reach.

Do I keep the rights to my book?

Yes. Every right and every royalty remains with you, clearly confirmed in the agreement before any work begins.

What genres do you work with?

We work across fiction and non-fiction, including memoir, self-help, children's titles and translated books. If you are uncertain whether your project is suitable, send us the details, and we will give you an honest answer.

Can I use you for printing only?

Yes. Some authors approach us with a manuscript that has already been edited and simply need the printing and distribution stages managed correctly.

How long does the publishing process take?

The timeline depends on the condition of your manuscript and the services required. Once we have reviewed the full draft, we provide a clear schedule covering editing, design, proofing, printing and distribution, so you know what to expect before work begins.
