Professional Book Publishing and Film Production by Industry Professionals
From manuscript to the silver screen; we provide elite publishing deals, story consultancy, and global marketing to turn your narrative into a commercial success.
Chapter One
Your Book Deserves Professional Publication
You've written your book. Now you want it professionally published with your name on a legitimate imprint, not lost in the self-publishing crowd. We review manuscripts for hybrid publishing partnerships where you retain rights, receive higher royalties, and work directly with your publisher throughout the process.
Chapter Two
Why Agents and Publishers Reject Great Manuscripts
Literary agents Google your name before reading your manuscript. No platform means invisible, regardless of manuscript quality. We build complete author mythology, professional website, and active social media demonstrating engaged audience. Position yourself to secure traditional publishing deals.
Chapter Three
Your Self-Published Book Deserves a Second Chance
Getting nowhere with your self-published book? We build professional author platforms that attract readers and demonstrate credibility. Choose fully managed social media across five platforms, or we set up your complete strategy in Claude.ai so you manage growth yourself.

Book Publishing
Every author has direct video consultation with Edward J Marsh, our Head of Publishing, before acceptance. You work directly with us throughout the editorial and publication process, not through automated systems or email-only contact.
Our authors receive complete editorial development, professional cover design and interior layout, ISBN assignment, distribution across all major platforms, marketing strategy tailored to your genre, Amazon optimisation, and review generation campaigns. You are never alone in the process.
Book Submissions
Become the Author That Agents Represent and Publishers Sign
Literary agents and major publishers Google your name before reading your manuscript. If you have no professional platform, you are invisible.
We build the author mythology and digital infrastructure that gets you represented and published. Edward and David work directly with you to construct your positioning, website, and social media presence.
For authors targeting traditional representation and major publishing deals, we create the platform that makes them say yes.

DreamEngine bridges the gap between the page and the screen.
We work with authors and producers to transform narratives into professional cinematic projects, from initial story development through to production-ready scripts and investor pitch materials. Every project benefits from direct consultation with Dr. David Baboulene, world-renowned story scientist and film industry expert.
You work directly with David and our team throughout the entire process, not through automated systems or email-only contact. You are never alone in the process.
Story Consultancy
The difference between a manuscript that gets optioned and one that gets ignored is rarely the concept. It is the story science beneath it. David Baboulene applies proven narrative methods, including knowledge gaps and storification, to ensure your manuscript or script possesses the objective quality that film industry professionals require before they invest.

Screenwriting
We adapt your book into a production-ready script that meets industry-standard formatting and utilises proven story science for maximum commercial impact. Your narrative translated for the screen without losing what makes it compelling on the page.

Pitch Decks
Securing a production deal requires more than a good story. It requires a professional presentation that speaks the language of film industry investors. We create bespoke show bibles and visual pitch decks that translate your story's commercial potential for producers and investors.

Your Journey with DreamEngine
Scene 01
Harsh Realities
Publishing your book is just the beginning. Selling your book is a massive challenge. It is you against millions. The fight is not fair and income on books sales is unfairly low. First time authors should not give up the day job just yet!
Scene 02
Rays of Hope
Great stories are in great demand. The industry is looking for a really good story. Your stories and characters need to live in more than a book. They need to be easily understood and put across, the best way to do that is with a pitch deck.
Scene 03

We offer you help, insights and templates for screenplays and pitch decks for you to work on, to manifest your vocation as a writer. Giving you the best chance of commercialising your stories and turning them into money.
Scene 04
Book Publishing
Of course publishing a book is a dream many writers want to fulfil. It is also the whole of your story and the basis of a screenplay and the pitch deck. We publish your book and assist you with achieving your goal.
