Helping Authors Bring Their Stories to Life
Festoon Publishing provides a complete publishing pathway for writers who want to share their stories with the world. Whether you are a first-time author or an experienced writer looking for hands-on support, we offer a simple, transparent and personal approach to every project. From the first draft to the finished copy, our team helps you turn your manuscript into a professional, high-quality book that readers will love.
Publishing Pathways
We understand that starting the publishing process can feel overwhelming. Our Publishing Pathways service guides you through every step, making it easy to move from an idea or draft to a printed book.
We work one-on-one with authors to:
Assess and prepare the manuscript for production
Advise on design, layout and printing options
Manage ISBN registration and book setup
Oversee printing and quality control
Each author receives personal guidance, professional communication and a clear understanding of timelines and costs.
Book Design and Layout
A professionally designed book invites readers in and reflects the care behind the words. Our design team ensures your book looks and feels as good as it reads.
We handle every part of the creative process, including:
Interior layout and typesetting for print and eBook formats
Cover design and artwork creation
Illustration and image preparation
File formatting for professional print production
Our goal is to make your book visually engaging while maintaining readability and style.
Short-Run Printing
Festoon Publishing specialises in short-run printing for authors, schools and community projects.
Our in-house equipment allows us to print in small quantities with fast turnaround and excellent quality control.
Short-run printing is ideal for:
First-time authors testing the market
Family memoirs or keepsake books
Local history or community projects
Personal or gift editions
Authors can print as few as one copy or up to around two hundred copies per run. Larger print runs can be managed through our trusted print partners. Every book is produced with the same level of care and attention to detail.
Editing and Proofing Support
Even the best stories need a final polish. Festoon offers proofreading and basic editing to ensure your text is clear, accurate and professionally presented.
Our team can help with:
Grammar, punctuation and spelling corrections
Formatting consistency and layout adjustments
Minor content edits for clarity and flow
For authors seeking more comprehensive editorial support, we can recommend experienced editors who specialise in your genre or subject area.

Publishing your book is only the beginning. Festoon helps you reach readers through multiple sales channels.
We can assist with:
Selling books directly through the Festoon website
