Author stories

They wrote the book. We did the rest.

Honest words from authors we have worked with, from first-time memoir writers to crime novelists.

In their words

What our authors say

I had a finished manuscript sitting in a drawer for six years. Within four months it was on Booktopia and my local Dymocks agreed to stock it.

MHMargaret H.Memoir author, Adelaide SA

They were honest about what my picture book needed and what it didn't. The illustrator nailed the characters on the first round.

DRDaniel R.Children's author, Brisbane QLD

I kept every right and every dollar of royalties. My project manager answered every email the same day.

AKAisha K.Business author, Melbourne VIC

The cover design stopped people in their tracks at my launch. Sold out of author copies in one evening!

TWTom W.Crime novelist, Perth WA

From ISBN to legal deposit, everything I didn't understand was explained in plain English. Truly stress-free.
