"What sells a book sells a book, same in traditional or self-publishing"

Hi, I'm Maddy...
I am, quite simply, passionate about writing and self-publishing and have been for as long as I can remember!
I founded Softwood in 2017 to support the writing and publishing journeys of authors who wanted to stay in control of their manuscripts. Since then, my team and I have supported the work of writers around the world and been honoured with various awards including the Prestige Award for Self-Publishing Specialists 2022/23 in London and the South-East (UK).
Based just outside Ipswich in Suffolk, we believe in a personal service, and you can be assured of our commitment to supporting you as a self-publishing author, where ever you are.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Testimonials

It's always better to talk to a real human being, so why not arrange a Zoom publishing consultation with one of our experts? It's a completely free, no-obligation service that we provide in order to help authors make the right decision. If you're in the Ipswich or Suffolk area, why not arrange an in-person chat with us?
