Our Services

Country Books & Spiral Books

Self-publishing and corporate publishing

In addition to our own titles, Spiral Books/Country Books also produce books for individuals, societies, and corporate organisations who would like to independently publish their own titles. Also, we are able to offer this service to authors whose manuscripts we feel are suitable for publication, but that we are unable to take on with a traditional publishing contract.

The reason for this is usually that while a particular book may command a definite audience, that market may be too small to make it a viable commercial proposition for a traditional publishing contract, or a genre we do not cover in our range of titles. In this instance, our friendly team of experienced editors and designers can provide the expertise to help authors and organisations to independently publish their books.

For 2025 we are pleased to be expanding our range of self-publishing packages to offer a wider choice of options and a more comprehensive, flexible, and affordable selection.

We can do everything for you (except, of course, write your book!) and will be on hand throughout the entire process to offer professional support and guidance every step of the way.

We only work with trusted and high-quality UK based printers. We also offer a print-on-demand service, which allows authors to create physical copies of their books as and when they are needed.

Our services include: page layout, cover creation, proofing, arranging print and delivery, providing an ISBN, registering the book on Nielsen Data (which produces a catalogue for all bookshops and distributors to order from) and sending off the Legal Deposit copies to the British Library and the Agency for the Legal Deposit Libraries.

Additional services such adialects: bespoke cover design, editing, press release, proof-reading, indexing, illustration and eBooks are also available.

Prices for a Basic Publishing Package (excluding the cost of printing) start from £850 for a text only option of up to 80,000 words rising to £1,550 for a Premium Design & Publishing Package (excluding printing) that includes bespoke cover design, website listing and a marketing tool kit and support.

We would be pleased to tailor a bespoke package to suit your publishing needs.

If you are interested in exploring this further and would like to discuss your project with us, do drop us a line at submissions@spiralpublishing.com with your manuscript or a synopsis, as a Word, Pages, or PDF document, or fill in our submissions form HERE.

Once received, it will be assessed by an editor, who will consider the content and suitability for publication. There is absolutely no obligation on your part – we never charge ‘consultation fees’ – and we pride ourselves on an honest, personal service.

We look forward to hearing from you.
