Make your book a reality

We believe every author has a unique voice and every book has the potential to touch hearts, inspire minds, and change lives. That’s why we’re dedicated to using our innovative publishing model to help authors turn their exceptional books into reality.

As authors we understand the choice you face about the best way to make all your hard writing work into reality.

Should you submit queries to agents and go down the traditional publishing route? If successful, you’ll give up your rights over the work – in exchange for the chance to have it put out by a commercial publisher. But a traditional publishing deal, while exciting, can be hard to get. You need an agent, and they are inundated with submissions, which means it’s easy to get lost in their ‘slush pile’. And even if you are fortunate enough to secure representation, there’s no guarantee they can get you a publishing deal.

Or should you go down the self-publishing route? You’ll keep your rights, and therefore creative control over things like the cover, content, and the marketing. You’ll also potentially make much more money per book sold. But you’ll lose the credibility of having a publisher. You will also have to do all the work – and pay for it – yourself, so what if you get it wrong? There’s an endless list of tasks which can be overwhelming. Who can you turn to for help?

Well, now you can have the best of both worlds, with Winter & Drew’s innovative hybrid publishing approach.

The Winter & Drew solution

We are selective about who we take on – we will only agree to projects where we believe the final book will be a credit to you the author and us the publisher. If you get a contract with Winter & Drew Publishing:

  1. You’ll keep all your rights in your book
  2. You’ll have the Winter & Drew imprint on your book – giving you the credibility of having a publisher.
  3. You’ll get all the support you need from our experienced team;
    • Editing and structuring of your book
    • The creation of a genre-specific cover
    • Formatting and proofing
    • Publishing your book on platforms like Amazon.

 

We have four levels of service package – starting from £2,775.

Send us your submission. We read every one, and if we are excited to work with you, we’ll help you realise your dream of publication.

What do our authors say?

“I wrote a book called The Ship Sailed On a few years ago, and always wanted to have it published professionally.
Jonathan Posner of Winter & Drew Publishing read the manuscript, and agreed to help me self-publish the book using his Winter & Drew Publishing imprint.
We worked closely on the manuscript, and we came to agreement on a new draft ready for publication. Jonathan helped organise an editor, a cover designer, formatting and a proof reader, as well as a well-attended launch event.
The designer produced a great cover that really caught the eye, so when the book was launched and published on Amazon, we had some strong initial sales and great reviews.
I want to thank Jonathan for all his help, and say how delighted I am to be able to hold a beautifully-produced copy of my book!”
Valerie Lawson, Author The Ship Sailed On 

“Having hired Winter & Drew for a developmental edit of my debut novel, I was very pleased with the entire process. Jonathan was efficient, communicative and also fair in both criticism and cost. With choices between editing or marketing, Winter & Drew provides many options within the self-publishing market, each of which are of good quality for an author at the start of their career.”
A.D. Downton, Author

“I asked Winter & Drew to do an editorial review of my new novel. The suggestions that were made – both stylistic and structural – have been extremely helpful in the development of the piece. I am happy to recommend them for similar work to other authors.”
Richard D. Handy, Author and Editor
