The Book Guild

The Book Guild An independent publisher delivering quality partnership and mainstream book publishing services. Submissions must therefore be commercial in nature.

An independent partnership and commercial publisher that publishes about 170 titles a year. We offer both traditional and partnership publishing, with all our titles being fully or co-funded by the company. We do not offer a self-publishing service, but authors may be asked to contribute to the publication of a book in some way, with the Book Guild funding the rest. The Book Guild has acquired a s

olid reputation for publishing books across all genres since its establishment over 35 years ago. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in all genres for consideration. Submissions from agents are accepted but an agent is not essential, we accept author submissions direct. All submissions will first be considered for a traditional publishing model; if we do not feel that a manuscript is suitable for our traditional publishing programme, we will then consider it for some form of partnership publishing.

as today is International Dog Day, we thought we'd see what the Book Guild dogs think of one of our September books, Tails of Courage.

Tails of Courage follows Golden Retriever Skye as she begins her first year at the legendary, top-secret Cambridge Puppy Academy which is hidden within the University of Cambridge. But when a royal pup mysteriously disappears, Skye and her friends form the Doggy Detectives 🐶

It's fair to say that the Book Guild dogs were absolutely thrilled 🧡

(P.S for the 26 August only, if you use DOG30 on the Book Guild bookshop you can get 30% off Tails of Courage!)

National Sisters' Day is a special day to honour the unique bond that sisters share. In light of this, we've collated a couple of our titles which celebrate sisterhood ⭐️
