Quire Press

A design-led publishing imprint for independent authors

We publish your book. You keep every penny it earns.

You have finished the manuscript. What comes next — typesetting, cover design, ISBNs, print files, Amazon, IngramSpark, categories, metadata — is a technical trade, and there is no good reason a novelist should have to learn it.

We do that work, publish your book under our imprint, and pass on one hundred per cent of what it sells for. We charge a fixed fee for the production, published in full on this page. We never take a share of your sales.

Our promise to authors

Most publishers who charge a fee also take a cut of your royalties. We charge a fee, and nothing else.

Amazon and IngramSpark pay us as your publisher. That money is held in a separate client account, reconciled every quarter, and passed to you in full alongside a statement showing units sold, channel by channel. We do not deduct a commission, a handling charge or an administration percentage, because we do not have one.
