We understand what science fiction authors actually need

  • We take worldbuilding seriously in typesetting: terminology, appendices, star maps, ship specs and invented scripts are given the care they need.
  • Covers designed in the visual language of contemporary sci-fi rather than pulp clichés or generic stock renders.
  • Series branding planned from book one, so your trilogy or series has a consistent look on Amazon and on a reader's Kindle.

Some of the science fiction books we've published

Publishing science fiction in the UK

Science fiction readers care about world, idea and craft in roughly equal measure, and they can spot a cover or a blurb that misrepresents the book inside. We help sci-fi authors produce books that look and read like the contemporary titles their readers already love, with the worldbuilding extras that make the genre what it is.

What makes science fiction publishing different

World is everything in science fiction, and the world has to extend beyond the prose. Appendices, glossaries, timelines, star maps and invented terminology all need proper typesetting to feel real rather than tacked-on. Covers need to sit in the current visual language of the genre rather than falling back on decades-old pulp or stock renders. We aim to get both right.

Questions science fiction authors ask us

Can you design a cover that looks like contemporary sci-fi?
Yes. We design to the visual language of current genre publishing rather than falling back on pulp tropes or generic stock renders. We'll show you directions before committing to one.
Can you typeset appendices, glossaries and invented scripts?
Yes. Appendices, glossaries, timelines, star maps and invented scripts are part of interior design for us. We'll proof everything with you before print.
Can you plan a trilogy or longer series from book one?
Yes. Series branding is something we think about early, so your covers and interiors share a visual language and your readers can follow the series across multiple books.
