Why choose self-publishing?
You’ve spent time perfecting your manuscript, and now you’re eager to get your masterpiece in front of readers. Where do you begin? Your initial thought may be to pursue a traditional publishing route, but the process of finding and securing a literary agent, pitching your book to publishers, and waiting on results can be arduous. Many authors are instead pursuing self-publishing with companies like Tellwell to increase their royalties and bring their works to market quicker without sacrificing quality or creative control. As a self-publishing company, we help authors bring their dreams to life.
Making a great book takes a great team. Ours supports you at every step:
Editing
Polish your manuscript to make the writing crisp, clear, and concise. A well-edited book lets your story, not pesky grammar mistakes or typos, shine.
Design & Illustration
A beautiful book stands out from the competition. The quality of your cover and interior will attract readers and impress reviewers.
Marketing & Publicity
Effectively marketing a book starts with knowing your target audience, the competition, the purpose of your book and what makes it unique. The next step is implementing proven tactics to promote your book and build your personal brand.
Audiobooks
Audiobooks are the fastest-growing sector in publishing, showing 11.7% growth per year from 2018–2023 in the UK. Work with our talented team of narrators and project managers to produce a high-quality audiobook that can help you reach a brand-new audience.
Printing
Whether you’re printing one book or thousands, we partner with printers around the world to offer the best prices. Print-on-demand allows you to sell your book anywhere, anytime.
Distribution
We can publish your book in paperback, hardcover, or as an eBook, making your book available to over 39,000 book retailers online, such as Amazon, Waterstones, Barnes & Noble, Blackwell’s, and Mallory International.

SELF-PUBLISHING VS TRADITIONAL
Why more authors are choosing to self-publish:
- To bypass the exhausting and arduous effort in finding a literary agent and traditional book publisher
- To retain full creative control and the copyright
- To earn much higher royalties
- To bring their book to market quickly, in months rather than years
