Hermitage Press

Self publishing project management

At Hermitage Press we approach publishing differently.

We offer a no-nonsense, collaborative consultancy service dedicated to helping you make your book the best it can be. 

Whether you’re stuck in an editing slump, or need a fresh pair of eyes to fine-tune your work for publication, need someone to format your book for the printers, convert it to audio, or need a book cover design our team can help. Our services range from standard editorial assessments and detailed line-edited reports to submission support and full mentoring packages, tailored to help you from any point in your writing journey.

We are a collective of experienced professionals who have years of experience in the publishing industry as writers, readers, editors, designers and marketers.

We aren’t agents but we can help you target and put together a pitch that could open the right door. Instead we are an encompassing service which offers practical support for writers. Whether they are chasing the traditional publishing dream or ready to dive into the realms of self publishing.

Our readers and editors understand what makes a compelling story and what resonates with readers. Depending on the level of manuscript assessments you need, they can give a brief overview with notes on structure and tone, or in-depth editorial feedback to help sculpt your plot, tighten your structure, and enhance your storytelling, to ensure your work has been crafted to a standard you can take forward to publication. 

Our designers know what the industry demands in terms, style, size and paper quality. And our cover designers have a wide network of contacts with illustrators to ensure your work will be worthy of any bookshelf.

We champion accessibility into publishing for Cornish writers. At the heart of our collective are a group of Cornish based professionals who specialise in both fiction and non-fiction content. Our aim is to level the playing field in publishing and help Cornish writers have a real shot at publication. Yes we charge for our services, but every year we also give feedback into the Cornish Writing Community by publishing a few fiction and non-fiction books on a contract only basis, where we cover the cost of editing, designing, publication and marketing for a percentage of the sales profits.

So if you’re looking for a publishing service which offers honest feedback from industry professionals, who believe in giving Cornish writers a voice, we are here to help. Contact us….
