SilverWood Books

SilverWood: beautiful books.

Improving the image of self-publishing...

SilverWood Books provides professional support to the serious self publisher. We help authors to produce high quality books which can be confidently marketed in bookshops or online. SilverWood works with a range of individual authors and organisations, including poets, novelists, financial institutions and charitable enterprises.

The key feature of our books is that they aim to match the production values of mainstream publishing houses such as Penguin and Random House - and this means our authors stand a better chance of persuading bookshops to stock their book (often self-published titles are refused due to their amateur nature).

SilverWood offers friendly one-to-one support throughout the publishing process. Services include professional editing, proofreading, page layout, book jacket design, Print on Demand and book publicity. Authors can choose from a comprehensive range of paperback and hardback book sizes, with or without dustjackets and foil stamping. We don't use templates, so each book is individually designed specifically for its target market, just as it would be in a mainstream publishing house. We offer a selection of publishing packages which cost-effectively bundle services together. And if an author’s work isn't quite ready for publication, SilverWood can assist with manuscript appraisal and editorial support.
