The Empire Publishers helped me publish…

The Empire Publishers helped me publish a niche business book, and I couldn't be more pleased. Their editors understood exactly what I needed and guided me with care. The entire process was professional, efficient, and encouraging. Highly recommend them for non-fiction authors looking for a reliable publishing partner.

Complete incompetence (or fraudulent)…

Complete incompetence (or fraudulent) in every phase of the publishing process except the editor. Here is the list:

1. Never coordinated with Ingram to allow the book to be ordered by bookstores or libraries
2. Promised to publish an arabic translated version of the book. They used AI and all my Saudi reviewers said there were numerous errors on every page. I had to pay a professor to professionally translate. The new translation was NEVER PUBLISHED as they promised
3. They have provided me with no means to purchase the book with an author discount which my previous publishers did
4. They were never able to get the book published on Amazon.com.sa (Saudi Arabia as the book is about Saudi Arabia)
5. The editor was very good. She was the only positive

Great experience

I recently had my second children’s book, This Duck Can Run, published with The Empire Publishers. The illustrations far exceeded my expectations, and Michelle provided professional expertise throughout. I was involved in tbd decision making process throughout, from the size of the book, type of text and illustration style. Very happy with my experience of using them. I would use again and recommend them highly.

I had heard horror stories about the publishing industry. People often complained about delays; hidden costs, lack of communication, and whatnot! But I must say that my experience with The Empire Publishers was the complete opposite. Everything was transparent from day one, and they guaranteed a sale of 6000 copies in 3 months (which they delivered). The quality of the finished book exceeded my expectations, and their marketing advice has been invaluable. I can't thank them enough for marketing the process smooth and stress-free.

My fantasy novel was full of…

My fantasy novel was full of world-building and complex lore, which made me a little nervous about how it would all come together in the final manuscript. There were so many moving parts, and I wasn't sure how the details would merge with the story. But theempirepublishers.co.uk handled it all with ease and really understood the depth of the world I had created.

They fixed the backstories of my characters and made sure the lore was clear and easy to follow. I was truly impressed by how they took the time to understand every aspect of the book and helped bring my vision to life in a way that felt both faithful and polished.

The final manuscript turned out even better than I could have hoped. It was exactly what I imagined. I've already sold 800 copies in the first month, which is amazing to me! To see the book start to take off so quickly has been an incredible experience. I've received great feedback from readers. It's exciting to see my hard work being appreciated, and I'm so grateful to the team for making that possible. I couldn't have asked for a better partner on his journey!

They made the self-publishing process feel so much less intimidating. Honestly, I was a little nervous about how everything would come together, but they managed every step so smoothly. They were very much into the process from the start and took care of all the details to make sure everything was in place.

The best part? My book was live in just 2 weeks, which was faster than I ever expected. And within a month, I had already reached over 1000 downloads! It was amazing to see things moving so quickly, and I owe that all to the publishing house. They really took the stress out of the process, and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out.

I'm amazed by the marketing support I received from the empire publishers for the sequel to my romance book. Their strategies helped me sell 140 copies in just 10 days, and the feedback on Goodreads and Amazon has been amazing. Thanks for the Valentine's Day discount too. I saved over $300.

Professional, patient and reassuring

Working with The Empire Publishers to publish my book "Where's My Free Lunch?" in December 2024 was a great experience. Michelle my account manager was always there to answer my questions, and to guide me through the editing, design and publishing process. I am delighted with how the book looks and feels. Thank you to everyone on the TEP team for making the publishing journey so interesting and enjoyable.

A fantastic experience! …

I had a wonderful experience publishing my book through Empire Publishers. I’d had a dreadful experience previously publishing with Olympia and so was apprehensive about publishing with anyone again!
Michelle has been fabulous from start to finish, weekly updates, endlessly patient with techno phobic me with explaining the various stages of the publishing process!
Fantastic communication throughout and the end result is a book I’m proud of and happy to promote! It has already featured in a Sunday national paper and I have more newspaper interviews lined up.
I would not hesitate to use Empire Publishers again.

Helpful and Professional Service

As a first time Author, of my book called The Story of a Boy called Red, Phoebe who was appointed as my project manager, was always so helpful in answering any of my questions, and guiding me along the way in the whole process, from start to finish she was very kind and friendly, and very efficient.
The whole team including Dianne, Michelle, and Andreea have been so professional I would definitely use them again.

The Empire is not just a Publishers, they go above and beyond to connect with you. Not only do they make sure that you are 100% happy their professionalism shines through every step of the way, with the ease of friendship. Michelle's kindness, along with her ability is second to none. Dianne steps into each character with intellectual depth resulting in fantastic editing. I cannot thank the whole team enough along with the marketing team that's working hard to promote my book. I can't wait to take my next journey with you all. Thank you.
