What Our Authors Think

We are told regularly that the process felt clear, unhurried and honest. These are the comments authors have shared about working with us.

“A genuinely brilliant team”

The Britannia team were knowledgeable, efficient and friendly from the first call onwards, and answered every question I had, however small. The process never felt rushed and I always knew what was happening next.

“An outstanding end product”

The book looks and feels exactly as I hoped. It is professionally produced but there was genuine care and support throughout the process, and the finished copies are something I am proud to hand to people.

“Everything was explained clearly”

Every step of the process was set out for me before it began, and the team took time to answer all of my questions. I felt reassured throughout, and that the people involved really cared about my book.

“Honest about costs from the start”

Britannia were upfront about what everything would cost, and it was all set out in detail so I knew exactly what I was paying for. There were no surprises later on, which is more than I can say for other quotes I had.

Robert Calder

The Weight of Staying

“I wanted a book I could be proud of”

If I was going to publish independently, I wanted a quality product I could stand behind. The cover design in particular went through several rounds until it was right, and nobody made me feel like I was being difficult.

Angel R. Almagro

The Ridge Between Choices

“They kept my voice intact”

My biggest worry with editing was losing the way I write. The edit tightened the manuscript considerably but it still reads like me, which is exactly what I was told would happen at the outset.

Nigel McScribble

Sir Noodlehead's Silly Quest
Sample copy — to be replaced
“Straightforward from start to finish”

I had researched several companies before making a decision. After the introductory call my mind was made up. Every stage since, from scheduling to final proofs, has been handled properly and on time.

James Kensington

Calm Your Inner Critic

“Real people, real answers”

What made the difference was speaking to the same consultant throughout rather than a different person each time. Questions were answered properly instead of being deflected into a template response.

Catherine Astor

Braving the Storm
Sample copy — to be replaced
“The rights position was the decider”

Retaining full ownership was non-negotiable for me, and Britannia put that in writing before any work started. Royalties come to me directly from the retailers, exactly as described.
