Complete Publishing Package · from £997
Nothing bought piece by piece.
Editing, cover design, interior formatting, retailer setup and launch support — planned together by one project manager instead of bought as disconnected jobs from disconnected people.
Three tiers, each priced against buying the same services separately, so the saving is arithmetic, not a marketing claim.

Word count and where the manuscript is now — we'll recommend the tier that fits and confirm the exact cost before anything starts.
In short
HMD Publishing’s Complete Publishing Package is a paid self-publishing service for authors with a finished manuscript. It covers editing, cover design, interior formatting, retailer setup and launch support as one managed project with a single point of contact. Three tiers run from £997 to £4,997, take 6-13 weeks depending on tier, and save up to 44% against buying the same services individually. You keep 100% of your rights, royalties and creative control.

Every quote below is from a client HMD took through the full managed route, paired with the book we actually produced.
“I'm a first-time book publisher, and I could not have found a better partner than HMD Publishing. They did both my cover design and the work of uploading the manuscript to Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. The team was consistently knowledgeable, professional, responsive, detail-oriented, courteous, and above all patient. I had dozens of questions as we worked through the process, and they answered each one thoroughly and without ever making me feel ridiculous for asking. My book launched two days ago, and HMD has my highest recommendation for anyone looking for professional services to help make your writing dreams come true.”
Barbara WoolardAuthor of Beyond Words: The Power of Action in a World of Thoughts and Prayers“Once again, HMD Publishing has done an excellent job! Their professionalism and willingness to work with me as a team resulted in my first children's book being published ahead of schedule and looks exceptional. Their responsiveness made working together a smooth and enjoyable experience. Thank you!”

Every line below is priced at what that service costs on its own from HMD today. Nothing is estimated.
Comparison uses HMD’s own standalone prices. A few package extras — book description copywriting among them — have no standalone equivalent and are counted as £0, so the real saving is slightly larger than shown. Want to price it yourself? Use the self-publishing cost calculator.
FAQ
Clear answers on timeline, scope, rights, revisions, and what happens after checkout.
HMD's Complete Publishing Package has three tiers: Author Essentials at £997, Bestseller Bundle at £2,997, and Empire Builder at £4,997. Each covers editing, cover design, interior formatting, retailer setup and launch support for one price, with a dedicated project manager. Add-ons such as extra editing, audiobook production or rush delivery are priced separately.
Yes, and the page shows the arithmetic. Bought individually at our own standalone prices, the same services come to £1,320, £3,674 and £8,971 respectively — so the packages save £323, £677 and £3,974. A few extras included in the packages have no standalone price and are counted as zero, so the real saving is slightly larger.
Author Essentials takes 6 weeks, Bestseller Bundle takes 9 weeks, and Empire Builder takes 13 weeks. That runs from kickoff through to your book being live. The timeline depends partly on how quickly you review and approve at each stage.
Yes. You retain copyright, distribution rights and 100% of the royalties your retailers pay. HMD is a service provider, not a publisher taking a share — we do not take a percentage of your sales, and the retail accounts are in your name.
The package starts from a finished manuscript — we do not write the book for you (that is our separate ghostwriting service). It does not include marketing beyond the launch support stated in your tier, print runs or stock (books print on demand at the retailer), or word counts beyond your tier's cap. Anything outside the scope is quoted before it starts.
Each tier includes editing up to a set length — 50,000 words on Author Essentials, 80,000 on Bestseller Bundle and 100,000 on Empire Builder. If your manuscript is longer, additional editing is charged per 10,000 words at the rate for your tier, and we confirm that cost with you before any work begins rather than invoicing it afterwards.
