Sustainable, award-winning self-publishing services

We're the market leaders in Amazon self-publishing packages in the UK & USA.

Whether you're looking to self-publish fiction, business books, children's books, memoirs, and everything in between! We can help you on your journey.

HI. CIAO. BONJOUR. HOLA.

about us

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!

guaranteed equal standard to traditional publishers

FAQ'S

Here’s a few of the questions we’re most often asked. If you can’t find an answer you’re looking for please feel free to contact us. We don’t bite!

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.

Don't take our word for it!

Happy Authors..

I used the services of Socciones to publish and design the cover for my first crime thriller ‘The Stalker’s Song’ and was very impressed with their professionalism, expertise and great customer service. So much so, that I engaged them again to publish my new crime thriller ‘When I Find You’. Always helpful and friendly, nothing is too much trouble for the team at Socciones who have now produced two excellent books for me, both to a high standard.

Self Publishing your first book can be a daunting experience, but luckily I found Socciones. They helped me through the whole process in a professional and friendly manner. So, for self-publishing my second book, I wouldn’t choose anyone other than Socciones.

To date several thousands copies of my book have been sold, helped immensely by the presentation and front cover. The reviews of my book on Amazon are very encouraging, so once again, thank you for helping make this happen.

I have published five books with Socciones. They produce a professional product at a competitive cost and, importantly, the book will retail at the market price. The team are friendly, helpful and constructive. I can recommend them with every confidence.

5/5
Absolutely First Class! As a new author I was very ‘picky' about getting all the details right so that my book was the best it could possibly be. In helping me to achieve this outcome Justin and his team exceeded even my high expectations. They were always prompt and helpful in their responses and nothing was too much trouble. I felt that their goal was my goal and that means a great deal when it comes to offering exceptional customer service. A thoroughly professional team!

'Take a Year Out'
5/5
Three years ago I decided to put pen to paper and print my true life story as part of my bucket list and to celebrate my 80th birthday. I am over the moon and so happy with the help you have given me. Nothing seems too much trouble. I had a spot on BBC Radio to talk about the book, which went very well. Once again, thank you, you are the bees knees, great, brilliant.

A professional, friendly and reliable service with high standards. Socciones made an excellent job of my poetry book The Rush of Lava Flowers with great attention to detail and layout. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I would highly recommend this company for your publishing needs.

Delighted with my association with Socciones. They are a very professional organisation, that I found to be efficient and trustworthy. Technically they are very competent with excellent communication and feedback. They did a first class job in producing “Round Ireland With and Without a Horse”, including an innovative cover. I would definitely recommend them to independent authors who want to get their work into print.

'Round Ireland With and Without a Horse'
5/5
Socciones took all the worry off my hands, designed a wonderful cover from my own rough ideas, photoshopped my photos, re-formatted, kept me in touch with examples every step of the way. I could not be more delighted with the finished project with regard to quality and presentation. They advertise that their books are the equivalent of a High Street publisher and they are.
Claire Riche
'A Phoenix Rises'
5/5
Socciones produced an excellent book for me. They were professional, offered great advice and were flexible in responding to the requests I made. I would recommend them without hesitation.
