“

Wow! I have just taken delivery of my copies of Olivia Bernard Sparrow and I am truly delighted by the look and feel of the book. Thank you so much for all the work that you have done to turn it into such an excellent finished product. Preparing it for publication is a much larger task than many realise as there is much more to it than meets the eye. Without any question of doubt, I could not have achieved the same outcome without your help and guidance.

I’ve been delighted with the service provided by Rachel and the team at Choirpress. This was my first foray into the publishing world and the Choirpress team was a great support with their vast experience and speedy responses to my many and varied questions. I suspect I was quite a demanding customer, e.g., I was very fussy about how the chapters would be laid out, and I needed a few attempts to get it just right. They remained patient and helpful throughout. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I first met Choir Press, on somebody’s recommendation a decade ago. Since then they have published three books for me, the latest a private edition published last January three months earlier than planned. New to such authorship, whilst content with my scripts, I felt as green as grass about the whole process of publishing, putting a book with illustrations together, copy editing, decisions on whether or not to have hard or soft copy, and the questions of a private edition of placing in the public domain, design, pricing and marketing. I never regretted the decision ‘to go Choir’, and will do that again should another book come to mind as I approach the age of 90!

How much will it cost to self-publish?

Every book is different, so rather than a one-size-fits-all figure we'll prepare a clear, personal quote for your project. Just tell us the format, page count and quantity and we'll do the rest.

Where prices are quoted for production from print-ready files this applies to both the text and cover.
