Why Write A Book?
In most industries, the people everyone turns to are the ones who wrote the book on the subject.
- You're recognised as the expertClients and industry peers see the author of a book in a different light to everyone else in the room.
- Opportunities come to youSpeaking invitations, media interest and partnership offers follow published authors more readily.
- Your work is more highly valuedRecognised experts can charge accordingly, and their clients arrive already convinced.
- A business card people keepA book shows the depth of what you know in a way no brochure or website can, and it stays on the shelf, not in the bin.

Your Name On The Cover
Your book is published under the Tweedlecoate imprint with its own ISBNs, and can be ordered through bookshops, online retailers and libraries.
The expertise is yours, and so is the name on the cover.
Three Ways To Work With Us
Format
You've written it. We make it look the part.
You supply the finished text and images. We design the cover, lay out every page, including complex layouts with call-out boxes, tables and image-rich spreads, and publish the book.
Best for finished manuscripts that need professional design.
Produce
You've drafted it. We turn it into a book.
We rework your draft into polished final text in your voice, create the diagrams and graphics it needs, then design, lay out and publish it.
Best for experts with a draft, notes or course material that isn't yet a book.
Author
You know it. We write it.
Through a series of interviews we capture your knowledge and write the whole book in your voice. Then we design, lay out and publish it with your name on the cover.
Best for experts who know their field but don't have the time, experience or inclination to write.

The short answer is that we know what we're doing. And that isn't just in the literary space.
We've run projects of all scales from sole traders all the way up to implementations for multinationals and governments, and spent decades navigating the publishing world alongside that. Tweedlecoate brings the two together.
Coming to publishing from other industries means we work to an efficient, modern process rather than the traditional one most publishers still follow. You get well-defined planning and no surprises.
As a business leader you'll recognise the approach: your book is run as a managed project, with clear milestones, process transparency, and on larger projects, staged payment schemes. This is territory you know and can trust.
We handle the whole process, from the first conversation to the finished book on sale, so your time goes into what you know rather than how publishing works.
