One spread from our poetry and art catalogue a genre that gets treated as a footnote far too often in publishing. This collection sits somewhere between visual art and verse, and it deserves to be looked at, not just read.

Save it if you're building a mood board, or if poetry is the book you keep telling yourself you'll write.

The ghostwriters reshaped chapters that felt too stiff." That's a line from a real review here's what it actually meant in practice. We're showing the shape of that edit: a manuscript with a rigid, boxed-in structure loosening into something that reads the way the author meant it to. No headshot needed the work speaks for itself. Read the full review through the link, and save this if you're comparing editors.

45,000 copies. That's what a traditionally published author typically needs to sell to clear €100k. Self-published, through a higher royalty split, that number drops to around 14,350. Same goal, wildly different path and it comes down to royalty structure, not book quality. Save this one; it's worth knowing before you pick a path.

Every author falls into one of two camps: the plotter with a spreadsheet before chapter one exists, or the pantser who finds out what happens at the same time the reader does. Neither one is wrong, but you already know which side you're on.

Cut these seven words and your writing tightens up before you've changed a single sentence structure. We asked our editors which words they delete on sight, no matter the manuscript filler that feels natural to write but does nothing for the reader. Swipe through for the list and the reason behind each cut. Save this before your next edit pass; you'll catch half of them yourself.

One spread, and it does all the talking. This illustration comes from our children's catalogue a story built as much on the images as the words on the page. Building a reading list for the classroom or the bedside table? Save this one for later.

Your memoir doesn't need to start as a manuscript. It can start as a note on your phone at 1am, a voice memo in the car, a sentence you couldn't stop thinking about. These five titles from our memoir catalogue all began that way small, unplanned, honest. Save this if you've been putting off starting because you think it needs to begin bigger than it does.

Cover reveals get old fast, but the in-between rarely gets shown. Here's what changed between the first concept sketch and the version that actually sold: tighter typography, a stronger focal point, a colour choice that reads better as a thumbnail than in print. Which one would you have picked?

Every book on our shelf started exactly like this an idea, then a manuscript review, then the editing pass where most books actually change shape. Cover design and formatting come next, and they take longer than most authors expect. Then it goes live across 100+ platforms in 192+ countries. If you're at I have a Google Doc and a dream right now, save this and check back against it as you go.
