A design-led publishing imprint for independent authors
You have finished the manuscript. What comes next — typesetting, cover design, ISBNs, print files, Amazon, IngramSpark, categories, metadata, e-book formatting — is a technical trade, and there is no good reason a writer should have to learn it.
Stormghost Publishing is a family-run UK independent publishers helping first-time and emerging authors turn completed manuscripts into professionally designed, commercially distributed books.
We work on a simple fixed-fee basis. You pay for the publishing work. We don’t take a royalty, commission or percentage of your book sales.
Most publishers take a cut of your royalties. We don’t. You keep 100% of your earnings.
Amazon and IngramSpark pay us as your publisher. That money is held in a separate account, reconciled every quarter, and passed to you in full alongside a statement showing units sold, channel by channel. We do not deduct a penny of your sales profits and pass the full amount to you.
Every penny of net sales income is yours, paid quarterly with a full statement.
All your copyright and intellectual property rights stay with you.
Fixed prices, quoted before any work begins, with no hidden extras.
Included – created by our degree-qualified designers.
Your work will be orderable by any bookshop in the UK, and listed with Amazon and international retailers.
No tie-in. Every print-ready and source file is handed over on cancellation.
Send us a synopsis of your book, plus the first three chapters, and a brief bio telling us who you are. With no assessment fee and nothing to sign, we’ll check your work is ready to publish and whether we are the right people to make it happen. You will get a straight answer about whether your manuscript is ready, what it will cost you to publish, and what the next steps are. We LOVE receiving submissions. We can’t wait to read yours.
