Books with a job to do
Your book, published properly and put to work.
UK publishing for experts, professionals and first-time authors. Editing, cover design, Nielsen ISBN and worldwide distribution from £995, or we build the book from your recordings.
You keep your copyright and every penny of royalties.
Who we work with
Consultants and professionals whose book has a commercial job to do, ministry leaders whose teaching should travel further than a Sunday, and first-time authors with a story worth telling properly.

What happened after the book existed.
500
copies ordered straight away
Years of preaching, none of it written down. We built The Mind of God from Pastor Julius Adegbite’s recordings through Transchribe, and he committed to a first run of five hundred copies. Most independently published books never sell that many in their lifetime.
A pastor from another church asked me who my publisher was. I told him Schribe.

Rwanda
to a Salford library stage
Deborah Munganyinka Simugomwa had been writing her survivor’s account for years with no route to publication. Truth That Fights is now used in schools in Rwanda, stocked across Salford’s library network, and Salford Community Leisure invited her to headline an author evening at Walkden Library.

Paid
speaking engagements, from one book
Joshua T. Komolafe came in with a rough draft and now runs a speaking and training business built on eight titles. Start Now did the same job for its author: paid engagements, and a book she hands over the way other people hand over a business card.
How do I say thank you enough?

For experts: the Authority Programme
The book is the easy part.
Anyone can produce a book now. The hard part is knowing what it should claim and who needs to see it. Over six to eight months we find the position you can own, build the book to carry it, then spend six months putting it in front of the people who hire you. One hundred copies included.
Position
A full day and a written strategy. The claim you own, who it matters to, and the specific job the book has to do.
Extract
Interview-led. We draw the thinking out of you and edit it until it reads like your strongest day, not somebody else's writing.
Publish
Cover, interior, ISBN, print-ready files and worldwide distribution, to the standard a trade publisher would apply.
Activate
Podcast and speaking pitching, a content series drawn from the book, and a keynote and workshop built from the argument.
Twenty minutes, and you will know what to do next.
A free call about your book, whatever stage it is at. We tell you honestly which route fits, or whether a book is the right move at all, and you get a written quote afterwards. No obligation and no follow-up sequence.
