What Custom Publishing Means Here.

The BWP Expert Series is a proven, streamlined process with a fixed shape. Custom publishing is the opposite: the book is built around what you already have and published under your own name as the publisher.

Published Under Your Branding

The book carries your business identity rather than ours — your imprint, your look, your series if you have one.

Published Through Your Accounts

Your book is published through your own publishing accounts, so the listing, the sales channel and the reporting stay with you.

You Keep Ownership and Control

You retain ownership and control as specified in your publishing agreement. Nothing publishes without your approval.

Not sure which route fits? Most people who come to us are better served by the BWP Expert Series, which is faster and has a published price. Custom publishing suits a smaller group with specific requirements — a conversation is the quickest way to tell which one you are.

Who Custom Publishing Suits.

It is the right choice when the book has to fit something that already exists.

You Have an Established Brand

Your business already has an identity and the book needs to sit inside it, not alongside it.

You Publish Under Your Own Accounts

You already hold, or intend to hold, your own publishing and retail accounts.

The Book Has Specific Requirements

A particular format, length, interior design, print specification or distribution route that a standard package cannot carry.

It Is Part of Something Larger

A workbook for your program, a client handbook, a title to sit alongside work you already publish.

“You already have the expertise. We make becoming a published author easier than you ever imagined.”

How a Custom Book Comes Together.

Every custom book is different, so the first step is always a conversation rather than a package.

1

We Talk It Through

Tell us what the book is for, what you already have, and where it needs to be published. We will tell you honestly whether custom publishing is the right route or whether the Expert Series would serve you better.

2

We Scope and Quote

Once we understand the format, length and publishing route, we put the specification and the cost in writing. Nothing starts before you have agreed both.

3

We Create and Prepare

Our guided process turns what you already know into a finished book while preserving your voice: development, editing, cover and interior design, and files prepared to your publishing specification.

4

You Publish It

We help you publish the finished book through your own accounts, under your own branding, and you review and approve everything before it goes anywhere.

You don't have to be a writer.
You don't need a finished manuscript.
You don't have to do it alone!

Books We Have Made.

A custom book is published under your branding, so it looks like yours and not ours. Here is a custom title we produced for an independent author, alongside books from our own Expert Series, to show the standard of the work.

What a Custom Book Costs.

Because every custom book is scoped individually, the cost depends on the format, length and publishing route you need.

Costed per book. We are finalising our custom publishing rates and will quote you in writing once we understand what your book needs. Book a conversation below and we will talk you through the options, the likely cost and the timescale before you commit to anything.

Tell Us About Your Book.

Fill this in and we will be in touch to arrange a conversation. There is no cost and no commitment — we will give you an honest view of whether custom publishing is the right route for you.

We will reply by email, usually within a few working days. No payment is taken on this page. Would you rather just write to us? Email publishing@businesswithpurpose.org.

Questions People Ask First.

How is this different from the BWP Expert Series?

The Expert Series is our streamlined route: a proven process, a published price, and the book is published through us as part of the series. Custom publishing is scoped around your book and published under your own branding through your own accounts. If you want the simplest path to being a published author, start with the Expert Series.

Do I need a finished manuscript?

No. You can start with presentations, transcripts, videos, articles, notes, or just what is in your head. Our guided process is built for people who are experts in their field rather than writers.

Who owns the book?

You do. You retain ownership and control as specified in your publishing agreement, and nothing publishes without your approval.

What will it cost?

Custom books are quoted individually, because the format, length and publishing route all change the work involved. We will put the specification and the cost in writing after our conversation, and you decide from there.

What happens after I send this form?

We read it, then email you to arrange a conversation at a time that suits you. There is no cost for that call and no obligation afterwards.
