Why self publish with
Bloodstone Books?

We're here to help
Some authors, poets and academics brave the many hurdles of self publishing and go ahead themselves. Others need a helping hand along the way. That's where Bloodstone Books comes in. Founded by a group of professionals from traditional publishing houses, we help authors and poets into the print and ebook format with a range of expert, knowledgeable services.

We're here to get you published
Alongside our own title list, we help writers and poet publish their own books and ebooks. It's that simple. Some are novels, others are academic books, many are books of poetry. In every case, the result is the same: we publish books our writers and poets are proud to talk about.

Our Bronze Kindle package results in a professionally prepared and typeset ebook, for sale through Amazon on the Kindle platform, where it can earn royalties on every copy sold.

For those who want a paperback published to match the exacting standards of any book found in High Street book shops, our Silver and Gold self publishing packages are unrivalled. Every book published is available online from websites like Amazon, and to order on the High Street, and you earn royalties on every sale. They can include professional cover designs, you can order copies directly in quantities as small as a single copy at the print price, and a Kindle version can also be published alongside the print edition.

Finally, for those who want a little more help, our Editorial Services include objective reviews, meticulous copy editing and complete manuscript preparation to give your book the best chance possible of being noticed and read.

We can self publish your book in 8 weeks
If you have a manuscript or a collection of poems, we can take it through the whole self publishing process in just eight weeks. Not by cutting corners but by using our well-established, rigorous and methodical publishing system.

From proof-reading through expert typesetting to an individual cover design, your book or ebook will be handled personally and professionally so that you end up with a copy that you will want to hold.

We use the latest on-demand printing technology
At Bloodstone Books, we use on-demand printing for all of our printed titles, which are produced to the same quality as books printed using traditional presses.

Each copy of your book is printed and shipped to order. So rather than paying for the print and storage of hundreds of books, you earn your royalties as each book is sold — without having to pay for the print beforehand. You also have the option to buy as many copies as you like at a fraction of the cover price for direct sales.

We still stand for old-fashioned values
While the way we publish books and ebooks has changed the traditional model, the values we bring to on-demand publishing and e-publishing remain old-fashioned. We take pride in what we do. We love books and we think books should be published to the highest standards possible.

It takes a lot of effort to write a book or a collection of poetry. We put a lot of effort into making the published version something our authors, poets and writers are proud to own.
