'The Long Purr'

A delightful tale for cat lovers everywhere. Michael provided the illustration for the front cover, and we used this as the basis of the cover design. Once the book was published, we set up and ran an advertising campaign on Amazon to boost exposure and sales.

“I am delighted with my book. The professionalism and efficiency of UK Book Publishing are impressive and I would recommend them to other authors who wish to have their books self-published. Many thanks to Dan, Ruth, Judith and Jay for all their efforts, help and advice.”

'Property Accounting with Sage'

There aren’t many books on how to perform accounting for property managers and property investors, and  this book explains the basic principles needed to correctly record accounting information relating to property. It uses worked examples for setting up and recording information in the popular Sage 50 accounting package, and is the first in a series of easy-to-use guides. Screenshots guide the reader through the process, making this an ideal companion for property managers using Sage 50.

“We are new to the field of book publishing and UK Book Publishing helped us through all of the hoops we had to jump through. These hoops included getting ISBN numbers and their images to go on the back of the book. The hoops also included getting an excellent cover design, proof reading services, typesetting and image management. Getting all of these aspects right is essential for a professional looking book. Getting even one of them wrong will definitely compromise the sale of the book. Obviously, we were confident of the content of our book but we had no idea how much work would go into the process of getting the content from a Word document to a bookshelf. Don’t assume you can save time and costs by doing these for yourself because you can’t. You need someone who has done this many times before to guide you through the process. We will be using UK Book Publishing for the series of books we have in the planning stages.”

'Jagged on the Inside'

This is a hard-hitting, semi-autobiographical book about a woman looking back at her life thus far. It details some of the most traumatic events in her life – the jagged years – including the death of her mother as a child, abuse, neglect and betrayal growing up, and her decline into major depression. Jagged on the Inside recounts her experiences of living with depression and explores its possible origins, but at its heart celebrates hope, love and finding joy in being alive.

“A huge thank to UK Book publishing for helping me realise my dream of publishing my first book. I am very grateful to Ruth and Judith for their time and support which made what I always imagined to be a challenging process into a pleasant and easy one, and to Jay for his brilliant artistry which went into designing the cover. It is even better than I imagined. If I write another book, I'll be back in touch for sure!”

“When an author has put their heart, soul, sweat and tears into a book, they want to know that when they give it to a book publisher they can trust them on every level to fulfill the promises made on their company blurb. UK Book Publishing is without doubt the best any author could hope for. I know because I made mistakes in the past, paid way too much money and felt like a number. UK Book Publishing made me feel like a member of their family from day one and have exceeded all expectations, so if you're looking for a publisher, look no further because you will not find better.”

'The Organisation'

The Organisation is a fantasy set in a make-believe world of wooden sailing ships, horse-drawn carriages and soldiers in red tunics and tall hats. Although it is a fairy tale it contains no magic or talking animals and is not meant for young children. It is intended for grown-ups, particularly ones with inquiring interests in a wide range of contentious issues..

This is a book for readers who like to be challenged, or entertained, or those who will delight in the beautiful illustrations accompanying this biting satire.

More details and brief notes about the author can be found in the book’s website at trevor-croft.com

“UK Book Publishing has provided an excellent service. I found its team of specialists to be very caring, friendly and patient. My numerous questions and suggestions have all been handled with patience, courtesy and expertise. I feel very pleased that I chose them to publish and help to advertise my book. I do not hesitate to recommend them to writers, either experienced or new to authorship, wanting to have their work published.”

'Brief Lives'

Sir Alistair has published many books over a lifetime of work in industry and academia, but Brief Lives is his first popular science book. It comprises a series of essays that explain the science as well as giving a biographical insight into the men and women who have helped to forge our modern world. From Einstein to Jobs, Curie to Crick, the biographies include hand-drawn portraits of each engineer, entrepreneur, philosopher or scientist, and provide an excellent starting point for those who wish to understand the significant contribution these people have made.

We edited and designed the book, set it up for print on demand and as an ebook, and handled the marketing of the book, including sending out review copies.

“When seeking a publisher for a new book, I carefully looked for one that could edit it, design it, launch it on both Amazon and as an e-book, market it and publicise it. UK Book Publishing have exceeded my expectations on all accounts. Ruth Lunn proved to be a meticulous and helpful editor, and Jay Thompson produced an excellent design and cover. Everyone involved was very professional, very helpful and very friendly. I wholeheartedly recommend them, without reservation.”

'The Five Stone Steps'

The Five Stone Steps masterfully blends fact and fiction to create a fascinating insight into life on Tyneside in the 1920s. Based on the memoirs of a serving policeman and the many hilarious tales told by his grandmother, John has written a highly entertaining and informative book.

As well as producing paperback  and ebook versions, we also undertook a marketing campaign for John, resulting in a number of articles in local newspapers, helping to drive book sales.

“As someone who suffers with anxiety problems I hummed and hawed a long time over whether or not to go ahead and self publish my book The Five Stone Steps. As the tales are set in South Shields and I live near Bristol I wanted a firm based in the North East and UK Book Publishing have really fitted the bill. From the very first I was impressed by their friendly but businesslike approach. Ruth gave me sound editing and marketing advice, Judith helped me through the financial side of things, and Jay did a brilliant job with the cover and layout of the book which included illustrations – Dan was always in the background with helpful advice if needed. I’d not hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking of dipping their toe in the water of self publishing.”

'It’s a Dog’s Life'

We worked with author Stephen Wylie on his first book It’s a Dog’s Life, a heart-breaking tale of one dog’s journey through adversity. Stephen had a clear idea of how he wanted his book to look, and we worked with him to make his idea a reality.

We edited the book, designed and laid it out, and managed the printing of 1,000 paperback copies. Stephen is selling his book through his dog rescue charity website, with some of the proceeds going to his charity, SHAK.

“The books landed today and I still can't believe I've done it. Just wanted to thank you all for helping me when I really didn't know where to go next.”
