Commission a Book

PROMOTE YOUR MISSION IN BOOK FORM. If you're considering commissioning a book, booklet or guidebook, we could be the 'safe pair of hands' you're looking for. We have an excellent track record of publishing books and guides for a broad range of clients, established over many years.

We're always happy to discuss book commissions and jointly funded titles in partnership with local authorities, county councils, National Parks, trusts and charities, companies and private individuals. Contact us today for a discreet and informal review of your needs, or call for an informal talk on 01928 723 769.

Many benefits

There are several distinct benefits to publishing a book or guide in this way. Let us do all the hard work, and in return you'll get:

A reliable and professional 'safe pair of hands' looking after all aspects of your project;

An exemplary quality finished book or guide researched, written, photographed, designed and produced (or any combination of those, to suit you) by experts with a long and well documented track record;

Professional publicity, tried and tested distribution, and guaranteed regular sales using our existing network;

Continuing sales of the book, often over decades – so markedly extending the 'shelf'-life' of your publication;

A range of economic and budgetary benefits based on one-off capital expenditure as opposed to recurring costs.

Successful titles

We have already produced several successful titles for a range of clients in this way, including:

•  The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path - Official Guide

•  Walking the Brecon Beacons - Official Guide

•  The British Helipads Directory

•  The Lichen Flora of Cheshire and Wirral

We also design and publish guides and booklets - both under the Wordplay imprint and for a huge range of clients including the National Trust. Browse these examples and then call us to discuss your needs.

No obligation discussion

To talk through your ideas informally and in confidence, please either contact us with an outline proposal for a book or guide, speak to Carl Rogers on +44 (0) 1928 723 769, or Tony Bowerman on +44 (0)1829 770309. We look forward to hearing from you.
