Wayward Bird is my publishing company, so named as for many years I have kept bees in a sustainable way in contrast to the mainstream, and therefore called my beekeeping business Wayward Bee. This too, is a little against the grain, hence the link.

Why choose Wayward Bird?

I have been there: looking at a bunch of scribbles, bundles of images and half-finished texts. I can help you realise that project. I particularly enjoy focussing on educational and instructional texts, but putting them together in an accessible and engaging way. Working with my printers, Newman Thomson, short print runs are perfectly feasible, and I will also navigate the minefield of ISBNs, barcodes, registration and get your books ready for sale. The booklet format is brilliant for printed material; not everything can be properly appreciated when viewed online.

I have a dedicated team of proofreaders and graphic designers to help with logos or jacket covers. Here at Wayward Bird we can take your resources and transform them in to a book you can be proud of.

Competitive prices and a friendly approach means your project will be overseen with your ideas at the centre, and we will help you achieve what for many is a long-held ambition.
