How HMD helps

Three clear ways to move your book forward.

Instead of forcing every author into the same path, we structure support around the stage you are in: creation, publication, or growth.

Create Your Book

Shape the manuscript, cover, and interior so the finished book feels commercially credible from first glance to final page.

Start here

A complete publishing path for authors who want less guesswork.

The Complete Publishing Package brings together editing, cover design, formatting, publishing setup, and launch-ready assets in one structured workflow.

Process

A clearer route from draft to launch.

The site redesign should feel lighter, but the underlying HMD promise still comes down to process, quality control, and the confidence authors feel at each stage.

01

Assess the stage you are in

We look at your manuscript, goals, timeline, and market so the plan matches the real state of the book.

02

Build the right production stack

Editing, design, formatting, and publishing support are assembled around your genre, launch goals, and budget.

03

Publish with platform precision

We prepare the files, metadata, and retail setup so the book is ready for storefronts, readers, and reviewers.

04

Support launch and growth

When needed, we continue into ads, launch strategy, and visibility work so the book has room to perform.

Proof of craft

Design decisions readers can feel before they read a word.

The difference is rarely one giant flourish. It is the compound effect of better typography, sharper covers, cleaner files, and production standards that feel credible in-store.

Client voice

Trusted by authors who needed the book to feel real.

I gave them a vague idea about "something with roses and mystery" and they created exactly what I didn't know I needed. My thriller now stands out in the Amazon charts, and readers constantly mention the cover in reviews.

H. C. Ruby

Author of Broken Evil

I write technical guides with lots of tables and diagrams. Other formatters said it would take weeks. HMD delivered in 5 days and it's perfect. They've done all my books now.

John J. Scarpino, D.Sc., MBA

Author of Executing IT Project Management

Clean, modern, and inviting. My wellness book needed to convey calm and expertise - they achieved both perfectly. Multiple podcasters have complimented the cover design.

FAQ

Questions authors usually ask before they commit.

How much does it cost to publish a book with HMD?Open

Our complete publishing packages start at £997, while individual services like editing, cover design, formatting, publishing support, and Amazon Ads can be booked separately. We keep pricing transparent, and every quote is built around the actual support you need.

Do I keep the rights and royalties to my book?Open

Yes. You keep 100% of your rights and 100% of your royalties. HMD works as a professional publishing services partner, not as a traditional publisher taking ownership of your work.

Can you help if I am a first-time author?Open

Absolutely. Many of our clients are publishing their first book. We guide authors through editing, design, formatting, platform setup, distribution, launch planning, and marketing in a way that makes the process clearer and less overwhelming.

Do you only help with Amazon KDP?Open

No. We help authors publish on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo, and other major distribution channels depending on the package or service selected.

What kind of books do you work on?Open

We work across business, self-help, fiction, memoir, children's books, wellness, spirituality, and specialist nonfiction. The same core goal applies across categories: produce a book that looks credible, professional, and market-ready.

What is the best way to get started?Open

The best starting point is a free consultation. We can review your stage, goals, and manuscript needs, then recommend whether you need a full package, a specific service, or a phased plan.

Ready when you are

Publish with the confidence that the book will look the part.

If you already have a manuscript, we can help you decide whether you need a full publishing plan or just the next critical piece.
