Why chose Scotforth Books?

Scotforth Books, part of Carnegie Publishing Ltd (established in 1984) specialises in advising and helping authors to get their books into print in a professional manner. The self-publishing route is not right for everyone, but it is a very popular and successful way of proceeding for a large number of people, and we have been helping authors to realise their publishing dreams for over 25 years.

Our philosophy at Scotforth Books is that the author should remain in control through all stages, and that above all the whole process should be a real pleasure. You will make all the decisions about every aspect of your book, as well as retaining copyright and all rights to publish. We are here to help, but it is your wishes that are paramount.

Nothing can beat the sense of achievement and pride you will feel once your book is actually in print, and we can guide you every step of the way. Do spend time exploring this site and if you think self-publishing might be for you, contact us for an initial chat, further information and a free quotation.
