Our Book Appraisal

Your publication journey starts with our appraisal of your work and a big picture edit. We will assess up to 3,000 words of your writing, providing comments on subject, style, content, marketability and ways forward. For this, we charge a non-refundable fee of £150. If we decide to publish your book our appraisal fee will be included within your publication quote.

Do you have a book to republish?

Do you have an existing book you'd like to republish? Maybe it needs a revision or could do with a makeover with a brand new design? Perhaps it's not written in English and you want it translated? As long as you have all the necessary files we can help.

Enhanced Mentoring

Take your writing to another level with mentoring from writer, editor, teacher, speaker and publisher Jo Parfitt. As well as writing over 30 books herself, Jo has helped well over a hundred new authors to write and publish their own. Jo offers a flexible range of mentoring options.

What a joy it is to work with Jo on my second book! Why do I work with her? Because she intuitively sees into my heart, mind and soul. And with that insight, she draws from me the book that’s bubbling inside. She uses a magic mix of nurturing and caring with a clarity and discipline… that demands nothing but the very best from me. That’s what brilliant mentoring and coaching does. It’s rather like being sprinkled with fairy dust.

David Scarlett, author of The Soul Millionaire and The Flight of The Soul Millionaire
