We blend imagination and strategy to create books that captivate readers and drive results for publishers, and organisations.
Series branding
Our roots in branding mean we build cohesive series that carry across books. The result is recognisable, ownable collections, each with individuality and its own voice.
Cover and layouts
Our covers capture attention and spark curiosity. From typography to internal layout and content consultation, we craft every detail to create books that are as compelling to hold as they are to read.
Packaging services
Our full-service approach brings everything together, from manuscript development to layout and cover design. We partner with editors to deliver books that are beautifully conceived, expertly produced, and ready for market.
In-house illustration
Our illustrators flex their style to suit every project, trend-aware but always ahead of the curve. Whatever the brief, we create visuals that excite and surprise.
Commissioning
Get the perfect look and feel for your book with our trusted network of photographers, stylists, and illustrators. We match every project with the right creative team to bring your vision to life.
Accessibility consulting
We bring deep expertise in accessible design, built from training leading charities and organisations to make their brands and communications more inclusive, as well as doing headline speeches at industry conferences.
