Publishing Production Consulting
From manuscript to print-ready or platform-ready files
We help you make the right production decisions before and during publishing. This includes layout structure, trim sizes, margins, typography, file formats, and platform guidelines. You can bring an existing project or start from scratch. We also support multilingual publishing projects.
How We Work
1:1 Consulting & Guidance
Personal consulting sessions focused on your specific book, goals, and publishing path from concept to release. We review your project together, identify what needs to be done, and give you clear, actionable guidance based on real book production experience. Sessions are available via video call or email, and can be booked as a one-off or as ongoing support throughout your project.
Project-Based Support
You provide the content, we handle the technical side. This includes layout, file preparation, preflight checks, and platform-ready delivery for print or digital distribution. Whether you are publishing on KDP, IngramSpark, or through a traditional publisher, we prepare files that meet the exact technical specifications required — so your book reaches production without delays or rejections.
Workflow Mentorship
For creators who want to understand book publishing and production workflows from the inside. We guide you step by step through layout, file preparation, platform requirements, and distribution decisions — so you can build long-term skills and handle future projects independently. This is ideal for self-publishers, small studios, or agencies looking to bring production work in-house.

Our book publishing and production consulting experience covers a wide range of projects — from single-author self-published titles to multilingual series managed by translation and localisation agencies. We understand the specific challenges that come with each type of project: first-time authors often need guidance on the entire production chain, while agencies and publishers typically need targeted support for file preparation, layout troubleshooting, or platform compliance. Whatever stage you are at, our consulting is grounded in hands-on production experience, not theoretical advice. We have worked on projects in Berlin and remotely with clients across Europe and beyond, covering print, digital, and multilingual publishing formats.
