What We Do

Eight Crafts, One Publishing House.

Your book is never handed to a generalist. Each stage is run by people who do that one thing for a living — and a consultant who makes sure the stages join up.

01

Ghostwriting

You have the story, the expertise or the life — we have the writers. A voice-matched ghostwriter interviews you, builds the outline and delivers a publish-ready manuscript chapter by chapter, with your name alone on the cover.

02

Book Editing

Four layers of editing, applied only where your manuscript needs them: developmental, line, copy and a final proofread. Every change arrives as a tracked suggestion you are free to reject.

03

Book Cover Design

Original covers researched against the bestsellers in your category, built to win the click at thumbnail size on Amazon and hold their own face-out in a Waterstones bay.

04

Proofreading & Formatting

A meticulous final proofread, then print-ready interiors typeset to British trade standards and hand-built eBook files that behave properly on every device and reader.

Publishing & Printing

ISBNs, metadata, pricing, print-on-demand setup and worldwide distribution — all configured in accounts that belong to you, so the royalties land in your bank, not ours.

Book Marketing

Launch strategy, Amazon listing optimisation, managed advertising, review outreach and author branding — measured against real sales data and reported to you every month.

Audiobook Production

Auditioned narrators, studio recording, full edit and mastering to Audible, Apple Books and Spotify specification — or a coached recording of your own voice, if the book calls for it.

Book Trailer

Cinematic trailers and vertical short-form cut for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube — scripted around your book’s hook, with licensed music and a voiceover that sells the read.

Bundle and Save

Or Take the Whole Journey as One Plan.

Most authors do not want to buy services one at a time — they want a finished book. Our four publishing plans bundle the services above into a single fixed price, a single contract and a single timeline, from £399 for a clean Amazon debut to £5,999 for a full launch with audiobook, author website and three months of marketing.

Compare the Four Plans
  • Proofreading and typesetting in every plan
  • A dedicated Project Manager throughout
  • Customer satisfaction and money back guarantee
  • One hundred per cent of royalties to you
  • Up to three rounds of your own amendments
  • Custom plans built for unusual projects

The Kingswell Difference

Why UK Authors Choose Kingswell.

We are a British publishing services company, not a rights-taking publisher. That single distinction shapes everything below.

You Keep Every Right and Every Royalty

Copyright stays registered in your name and retailer accounts are opened in your name. We take no commission and no revenue share — one hundred per cent of what your book earns is paid straight to you.

One Named Project Manager

No ticket queues and no being passed between departments. A single publishing consultant coordinates every specialist on your book and stays your point of contact from first call to launch day.

Genre-Matched Specialists

A thriller needs different instincts to a memoir, and a business book different rigour to a children’s picture book. Your project is staffed by people with a track record in your specific genre.

Honest Scoping, Fixed Quotes

We tell you what your book genuinely needs and what it does not. Every quote is agreed in writing before work begins, so there are no mid-project surprises and no upselling.

Confidential by Default

Your manuscript is only ever seen by the specialists working on it. NDAs come as standard and your identity, your story and your ideas are never shared or reused.

British Publishing Standards

Based in Fitzrovia, London. We work in UK English by default, price in pounds sterling, and typeset to the trade standards British readers and booksellers expect.

Frequently Asked

Questions About Our Services.

The things authors ask us before they commit. If your question is not here, ask it on a free consultation — you will get a straight answer.

Can I buy a single service, or do I have to take a full package?
Either works. Plenty of authors come to us for one thing only — a cover, a proofread, an audiobook for a book they published years ago. Others want the whole journey handled. Every service on this page can be bought on its own, and if you later decide to add more, the work already done carries straight over at no penalty.
How do I know which services my book actually needs?
Send us the manuscript. A senior consultant reads a sample, tells you honestly what stage it is at, and recommends only what will make a measurable difference. If your manuscript has already been professionally edited, we will say so and take editing off the quote — we would rather keep you as a returning author than sell you a pass you do not need.
Do you take any of my rights or royalties?
No. Kingswell is a publishing services company, not a rights-taking publisher. Copyright is registered in your name, retailer and print accounts are opened in your name, and retailers pay royalties directly into your account. We charge once for professional work and take no commission, no revenue share and no ongoing claim on your book.
How long does each service take?
Cover design runs two to three weeks, proofreading and formatting one to two, a full edit three to six depending on length, ghostwriting four to eight months, and audiobook production four to six weeks. Publishing and distribution setup takes about a week once the files are final. You receive a written timeline with dates before anything begins.
Do you work with authors outside the UK?
Yes. We are a London house and work in UK English by default, but we publish authors across Ireland, Europe, the Commonwealth and North America, and we will typeset and edit to US conventions where the target market calls for it. Consultations run over phone, video or email to suit your time zone.
What if I have already published the book elsewhere?
That is common and rarely a problem. We can audit an existing title’s cover, description, categories and interior, then re-design, re-typeset, re-list or market it. If something about the book’s current presentation would hold a campaign back, we will tell you that before taking your money rather than after.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Always. Confidentiality is standard on every project and we are happy to sign your NDA or provide ours before you send a single page. Your manuscript is seen only by the specialists assigned to it, and we never use client work in marketing without written permission.

Ready When You Are

A Free 30-Minute Consultation, No Obligation.

Tell us where your book stands and what you want it to do. A senior publishing consultant will give you an honest read on what it needs, how long it will take and what it will cost — even if the answer is that you do not need us yet.

Not Sure Which Service Your Book Needs?

Tell us where your manuscript stands and a publishing consultant will recommend only what it genuinely needs — nothing more, nothing less.
