Independent publishing, properly managed

Bring your book to market properly.

One governed publishing method, adapted to your book and its real route to readers. You own the accounts, rights, platform and readership, and keep every royalty.

A publishing partner, not a production line

Your book deserves more than a list of disconnected services.

Editing, design, distribution and marketing only work when the decisions behind them are sound. Casover brings the journey together, giving authors one clear plan and experienced oversight from manuscript assessment to launch.
Specialist craft, editorial judgement and your approval remain at the centre of every decision, from the first read of the manuscript to the day the book goes on sale.
Human judgement first, at every stage.
The Casover principle
The Casover method

A clear route from manuscript to market.

One connected publishing operation, adapted after the critique, with a genuine stopping point after every completed stage.
01

Assess

Establish manuscript readiness, likely readers, existing reach, ambitions and commercial realities.
02

Select the route

Choose an established-audience, reachable-niche or audience-to-prove pathway.
03

Refine

Strengthen the manuscript and reader proposition while protecting the author’s voice.
04

Build the foundation

Create the smallest justified author-owned web foundation. A focused landing page is normal; a full website or CRM is added only when the evidence supports it.
05

Test and produce

Control ISBNs, descriptions, categories, keywords, prices, proofs and production. KDP is normally the Amazon core, with wider, direct, premium-print or publisher-first routes added where justified.
06

Publish and launch

Bring together direct sales, retail routes, publicity, fulfilment, advertising and feedback.
The sensible first step

Manuscript Critique

A practical, evidence-based assessment before you commit to a full platform, production decisions or a managed publishing programme. You receive a useful written diagnosis and recommended route whether you continue with Casover or stop.
Manuscript Critique

£295

Understand what is ready, what needs attention, how readers can realistically be reached and what the next sensible commitment looks like.
What the critique covers

  • Manuscript and project readiness

  • Audience access, positioning and route selection

  • Platform, validation, production and distribution sequence

  • Priority action plan

  • Follow-up discussion

£295 up to 80,000 words and £375 above that, paid in full at the outset. Nothing further is owed unless you choose the next stage.
Continue one stage at a time. Each stage ends with completed work you keep and a clear choice to continue, pause or stop.

Case study in progress — A Sapper’s Story, Billy MacLeod MBE
The Billy MacLeod MBE project brings together the practical work behind a serious independent book launch, from editorial preparation and the author platform to pre-orders, print production, audience development and launch planning.
Billy brought unusual credibility and strong Royal Engineers connections to the project. His route shows what an established audience can make possible; it is evidence for the method, not an assumed starting point or promised result for every author. A full public case study will follow only with permission and verified launch outcomes.
What the project covers
—
Book and series positioning
—
Author website, pre-orders, CRM and email
—
Print planning and production coordination
—
Payments, customer journeys and supporter engagement
—
Media, advertising and launch development
How we work
01

Your voice remains yours

Your authorship, your editorial judgement and your approval govern the work. Nothing is published without you.
02

Decisions before deliverables

We establish the audience route and next sensible commitment before spending your money on a full platform or production.
03

Clear gates and accountability

You know what happens next, what you receive and when you can continue, pause or stop.
