Publishing Services

Self-Publishing, help and support.

So, you've poured your heart into your book, and now it's time to share it with the world! Self-publishing offers authors unprecedented control and creative freedom, but navigating the process can feel overwhelming.

You will need, an editor, a cover designer, a book designer and knowledge to self-publish your book.

Fear not, we are here to help you! We will equip you with the knowledge and resources to transform your manuscript into a polished, professionally published book. Self-publishing can be a rewarding and empowering experience. By researching your options, investing in essential services, and remaining focused on your goals, you can transform your manuscript into a book you'll be proud to share with the world.

Self-Publishing: What you need to do.

Book Editing

No matter how many times you have edited, reviewed or rewritten your book, having an expert independent editor with make a huge difference to your finished book.

Book Cover Design

Your book's first impression. You can use one of the many online tools to create your book cover, but hiring a professional book cover designer is always the best option.

Book Design

Layout, formatting, and typography. Consider utilizing pre-made templates or working with a book designer to ensure a high-quality, reader-friendly format.

Book Printing

Choose between print-on-demand (POD) services for small print runs or offset printing for larger quantities. KDP print services are expensive.

KDP Self-Publishing:

Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing platform is a popular choice for self-published ebooks and print books, offering global reach and royalty options. It can however be a daunting prospect to correctly complete everything to publish your book yourself.

Publishing a Book

It's a marathon, not a sprint! Plan your timeline, set realistic expectations, and celebrate each milestone along the way. Using publishing services: editing, proofreading, indexing, and marketing services can elevate your book's professionalism and reach.

Hybrid Publishing vs Self-Publishing

While self-publishing offers complete autonomy, some authors may opt for hybrid publishing, where a smaller publishing house helps and supports you through the whole publication process.

DreamEngine offers excellent co-publishing arrangements.

Maybe completing the whole self-publishing process is not for you? If you would like to discuss the benefits of working with us we are happy to talk to you.

The hybrid publishing model with DreamEngine

DreamEngine is an independent publishing house offering a bespoke hybrid publishing service to new and self-published authors.

My ambition is to make a co-publishing service that is reputable and which works for the author. I admit, it's a challenge because of the absolutely justified negativity surrounding vanity presses, and the difficulty in differentiating ourselves from the sharks. So we have to provide exceptional services and opportunities to prove who we are. Our aim is to be at the top of the list of the best hybrid publishers.

We do not accept every author and are honest about the commercial prospects for your book.

We'll give you the truth, even if it's not what you want to hear!

We will support and guide you through the whole process.

From helping you improve and develop your story to the final edit for publication.

With you every step of the way

We put a ten step book marketing plan in place. Along with – possibly the most important element of all - help and training in how to market yourself and your book.
You are assigned a personal editor, and we put a team of talented book design and book cover design specialists around you to produce the book that you, and your readers want.

I am a director of a film production company, a film producer, scriptwriter and story consultant. We will give you the best chance of getting your story on to the big screen.

We have partnerships with agencies, marketing companies, distributers and more. We understand how the positioning of your book in terms of genre, book categories, title, sub-title, cover design and back cover ‘blurb’ can be critical in raising the profile of your book, particularly in a digital marketplace and on social media. This is a major advantage for authors.

The new world of the 'Publishing Industry'

The role of the publishing house has changed. For an author to succeed now requires a team effort and a long-term plan, so we work with you to create that plan and map a route.

We offer flexible, tailored, hybrid publishing deals to authors.

We then put a team around you and we give you the training you need to get you where you want to be.

"I started out as a novelist with two traditional publishing deals. I then got a 'hybrid' publishing deal (shared risk co-publishing) and made four times more money from those same books. I then got involved in agency deals around the world, as far afield as China, the USA, South America and Vietnam - activities I could never have imagined as an author at the outset. Most writers make basic errors in turning their talent and passion into success. I am here to help you avoid the tripwires and build the future you desire for yourself." David Baboulene
