Voted Publisher of the Year 2021 by the Judges of the People’s Book Prize

Welcome to Filament Publishing, the home of brilliant, inspiring, and talented authors from all walks of life. In the last 25 years we have helped thousands of authors to find their voice through publishing their books’ no matter how complex the subject or challenging the task!

Whether your book manuscript is in your head or in your hands please talk to us. We help authors from all genres to write, edit, publish, and promote their books.

Because if you want your book to stand proudly with the best books in any bookshop – bricks and mortar and online – it’s pays to have professional help plus an understanding of how the book trade works.

Because producing a book is not dissimilar to launching a new product. You need the right team around you to ensure your vision becomes real and your book is launched to a fanfare of rapturous applause, with book sales coming in thick and fast.

So, whether you’re writing a book to share your wisdom and experience, or crafting a fiction book, let’s talk!

In the meantime, prepare to be inspired by some of the authors we have worked with over the last 25 years. It is not unusual for authors to return to us for their second, third, fourth and fifth book!

“It is no longer about what you get from your publisher, it is what you become as a result of working together.”

We have a big ambition for you. We want you to become self-sufficient, knowledgeable and confident in all the processes you are going to need to become a successful and profitable author.

Our mission is to share our 25 years of experience to make this happen.  We remain at your side for the lifetime of your book to help it to realise its potential.

Telling your story – Leaving your legacy

 

The words that are written about your book are as important as the words that are written in your book. For many authors, however, knowing how to promote their book remains a mystery and so their beautifully written, compelling book remains a closely guarded secret.

Don’t let this happen to your book!

It deserves to be read by many. A little or indeed a lot of marketing support can ensure your book becomes very visible to your target readers.

We provide a complete range of tailored marketing services to our authors delivered by an experienced and marketing team
