Why do charges vary so much between publishers?Will I make my fortune with my first book?How can I tell if my manuscript is good enough?How do I choose a publishing service that's right for me?
That's exactly where we were...
And this is why we're going to help...
The answers to the questions above are based on our years of experience in the literary world.
Tweedlecoate is standing by to help you put your book right there.
Right where your readers can find and enjoy it.
Online.
In the bookshops.
And on your own dedicated Author Page where your fans can learn all about your work and follow you as an author (coming soon).
Tweedlecoate is a highly organised multi-skilled team. Not only do we have a literary background, we also have high level expertise in editing, teaching, graphic design and in building quality document content.
Rather than continuing to use these skills for the corporate world we decided to use them to facilitate authors like you to obtain the recognition they deserve.
The Tweedlecoate Way To Publish Easily
The first thing that happens is you send us an extract from your manuscript. We read it and send you a one-page report on whether it's ready for publication. If it is, we invoice the package fee and get started. If it needs more work, the report tells you where to focus and suggests a route: apply the feedback yourself, work through the revision lessons in our free novel-writing course, or join our monthly coaching. The report is free and without obligation.
In line with the ideals of keeping it simple and easy we offer one single package of service to put your book on the shelves.
