Sustainable, award-winning self-publishing services
We’re an award-winning family of publishing professionals that work with authors and independent publishers to offer book/eBook design, editing, marketing and consultancy services centred around the Amazon publishing ecosystem; because it’s the best!
Amazon is a competitive marketplace for authors, so the standard of a book needs to match ones published by the ‘Big 5’. We guarantee that happens! Every book is designed with love and passion.
Socciones is now part of Riviera Artists Agency, a sports & entertainment agency headed out of Monaco. Socciones is based in Swansea, UK.
I have several books published with imprints of Penguin Random House and the team at Socciones matched (I would say exceeded!) that quality. 'The Silence' was also an Amazon bestseller. If you're thinking of self-publishing, look no further. A fantastic, fun and trustworthy bunch!

You may well see other self-publishing companies offering wider distribution but the truth is that Amazon has the market covered. Especially for self-published authors.
Traditional publishers don’t rely on sales from online outlets such as Waterstones, or Barnes & Noble for our American friends. They make the most sales from Amazon.
We’ve worked in the Amazon publishing ecosystem for many years and have helped multiple authors hit bestseller status. In our opinion, there’s no better platform for self-publishing.
If you’re not using our editing services we can have your book ready for publication within 14 days.
This may increase during the run up to Christmas.
You certainly do! Once we have published your book you will keep 100% of any royalties, and you will retain all rights to your work.
Of course! We guarantee the design of our books will be of an equal standard to those traditionally published.
We’re fortunate enough to have worked with writers from all over the globe, and we love it!
There’s no borders in publishing, so wherever you are we’ll be happy to work with you.
With self-publishing, authors have full creative control, but we always advise authors to have their manuscript professionally edited.
Yes. Authors retain 100% of all rights.
Amazon pays a 70% royalty for eBooks with a list price between £1.99-£9.99 and 35% for eBooks priced outside of this range.
A 60% royalty (minus print costs) is paid on print formats.
No. The author is the publisher when it comes to self-publishing. Authors have the final say on everything.
It’s free to upload files to Amazon KDP. What authors pay for is book design and the expert advice and guidance from a team with over 15 years’ experience in publishing on Amazon, guiding many authors to the top of Amazon bestseller lists in various categories.
As mentioned elsewhere on our homepage: authors compete against traditionally published books on Amazon, which have been professionally designed and targeted to a particular audience.
We don’t have a crystal ball, unfortunately. But what we can tell you is that any service provider that tells you that ‘your book is going to be a definite success’ is only out to relieve you of money, and you should think twice before using their services.
Of the many titles we’ve worked on that have topped the Amazon bestseller lists in various categories, the authors have worked extremely hard to get there, which is what is required to be a success in self-publishing.
Of course!
