Welcome to Carnegie Scotforth Books
Thank you for finding your way to Carnegie Scotforth Books; you have taken the first step on the exciting and enjoyable road towards publishing your own book.
Carnegie Scotforth Books is the self-publishing arm of highly respected Carnegie Publishing Ltd. We’ve been helping authors since 1984 and have expertise in all aspects of publishing, including editing, proofreading, page and cover design, printing, binding, sales and marketing.
When you publish with us, we guarantee that you will end up with a very well-produced book that you can be really proud of, and that we will do everything we can to ensure that the experience is a real pleasure for you. Nothing can beat the sense of achievement and pride you will feel once your book is in print, and we will guide you every step of the way.
For most authors, the world of self-publishing is a mysterious and daunting one. A book is a very personal thing and most writers have some kind of vision of what their book could
look like, but often have no idea where to start. Whether your book is about a place, church, community, organisation, relative, yourself, or a work of fiction, it is true that there are many things to consider. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know anything at all about publishing; we can help and advise you on all aspects of the process, but in a way which always leaves you in the driving seat, making all the decisions along the way.
We hope you will find this website useful and easy to use. Do spend time exploring it and if you think self-publishing might be for you, contact us for an initial chat, further information and a free quotation.
