History Book Publishing Services in the UK
A good history book earns its place on the shelf with research, images and a layout that lets both breathe, and that's where most self-published history falls short.

We understand what history authors actually need
- We've published military history, science histories, family histories and research-led narrative history.
- Archive photographs, maps, regimental crests and footnotes are typeset with the care they deserve, not crammed in at the end as an afterthought.
- You keep your rights and royalties, and you keep control of every detail, including image permissions and citations.

Publishing history in the UK
History books ask a lot of their publishers. Photographs, maps, footnotes, bibliographies, glossaries and indexes all need to be handled properly, and the cover has to tell a reader instantly what the book is about. We help history authors produce books that look and read like serious research, without the queue and the editorial interference of a traditional academic imprint.
What makes history publishing different
Research deserves respect in layout as well as in print. Footnotes that actually sit where they should, photo sections on decent paper, maps large enough to read, indexes that work. These are craft decisions rather than template choices, and we treat them that way for every history book we publish.
Questions history authors ask us
