Helping Authors Publish for Over 20 Years
The UK's Author-First Publishing Partner
We write, edit, design, and format your book, then publish it on Amazon and KDP, and help it find readers.
Recognized Across Global Publishing Platforms
Professional Book Writing Services & Book Publishing Company in the UK
Author Publishing Experts works as your dedicated partner from the first conversation to the final published title. As a trusted UK book publishing company, we take your idea or manuscript and turn it into a book you can stand behind; beginning with professional book writing or editing, then a distinctive cover and precise interior layout, before placing your work on leading platforms including Amazon and KDP.
Every stage is handled by one team, on one clear timeline, with no jargon and no surprises. Authors call us because it is simpler than doing it alone — and because we stay with them until the book is out and finding its readers.
Every Service Your Book Needs Under One Roof
You bring the story. We bring everything else: writing, editing, design, print, distribution, and marketing, all under one roof so nothing falls through the cracks.

Learn MoreWe Publish Your Book. Then We Make Sure It's Found.
Every book starts with a manuscript and ends with a title readers can actually buy. In between sits the work most authors underestimate: editing that sharpens without flattening, a cover that competes on a thumbnail, an interior set to professional standards, and distribution into the channels where people shop. We handle that whole stretch as one process, on one timeline, so you are never chasing four different suppliers to find out why your files aren't live yet.
Editing that respects your voice: Developmental, line and copy editing by
editors who work in your genre
A cover built for the shelf and the screen: Designed to read clearly at
thumbnail size and in print
Print-ready interior formatting: Correct margins, typography and chapter
