Great publishing is more than words on a page

The Authors Portal is a team of editors, proofreaders, book formatters, typesetters, cover designers and publishing specialists. We help independent authors turn a finished manuscript into a book they can share with readers, confidently.

7+ years of experience in their field, for every member of our team.

Meet the team: Specialists in every craft a book needs

Behind every well-made book is a team that understands publishing is about more than putting words on a page. Ours brings together editors, proofreaders, book formatters, typesetters, cover designers and publishing specialists, and each of them works in the field they know best.

We look after every detail that shapes the finished book: refining the manuscript and keeping it consistent, building a professional interior, and designing a cover that draws a reader in.

We work closely with you from start to finish, bringing industry knowledge, technical skill and a careful eye for detail, so your book is professionally prepared and presented. Whether it needs developmental editing, proofreading, formatting, typesetting, a cover, or preparing for print and digital platforms, the work is held to professional publishing standards.

We work with you, not around you, and we check quality at every stage, so the manuscript you bring us becomes a book you are proud to put in front of readers.

The disciplines under one roof

Editors. Developmental and line editing: the manuscript itself, refined.
Proofreaders. The final pass for errors and consistency.
Book formatters. Clean files for print and for every e-reader.
Typesetters. Professional interiors, set page by page.
Cover designers. A cover that draws a reader in.
Publishing specialists. Your book prepared for print and digital platforms.

Every member of our team has more than seven years of experience in their field.

How we work: Five steps, and you approve every one

Tell us about your book. A real conversation first, not a form that disappears into an inbox. You talk to a publishing advisor who reads a sample of your manuscript before saying anything about price. They will tell you what your book actually needs, and just as importantly, what it doesn’t.
Get a fixed quote, in writing. Itemised, in plain English, and it does not move. Every service is listed on its own line with its own price, along with a realistic timeline. If something changes later, we tell you before the work happens, never after and never on the invoice.
We build the book. Editing, interior design and cover, handled by specialists. Your editor edits. A typesetter lays out the interior for print and for every e-reader. A cover designer works to your genre’s conventions, because covers sell books before a single word is read.
You approve every stage. Nothing moves forward without your sign-off. At each milestone you see the work, ask whatever you want to ask, and say yes or not yet. There is no stage of this process where your book carries on without you, and no point where you lose sight of it.
Your book goes on sale. Published, distributed and available where readers shop. We handle the listings, the metadata and the distribution setup across Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, IngramSpark and the rest. Then we hand you the keys, with everything in your name.

What you can count on: The same terms, for every book

You keep your rights and your royalties

You hold the copyright, you own the final files, and the retailer and printer accounts are set up in your name, so royalties are paid directly to you. We are a service you hire, not a publisher you sign to.

A fixed quote, in writing, before work begins

Every quote is written down and itemised before anything starts. You see what each service costs on its own line, and the figure on it is the figure you pay.

A named advisor, not a ticket queue

You get one advisor assigned to your book, with a direct phone line. Never a chatbot standing between you and an answer.
