Who we are
We’re an award-winning book design agency who work with publishers & indie authors to create beautiful books.
Firstly, we’re book lovers. Secondly, we’re a family-run business with over 40 years’ experience in publishing, across agenting, editing, and design.
Our team are super-friendly (that’s a non-negotiable for us) and are passionate about books. Based in Swansea, UK, we’re now part of Riviera Artists Agency, a sports and entertainment agency headed out of Monaco in the French Riviera. We design all titles released by commercial fiction publisher House of Riviera, which is also part of the Riviera Artists Agency stable.
