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

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 provided support to writers worldwide from Melbourne to Manchester, and Texas to Tokyo. 

​

Our expertise in independent publishing continues to be recognised with recent nominations for the Suffolk Small Business Awards 2023/24, and the winning of the Prestige Awards 'Self-Publishing Specialists in London and the South East' for the second year in a row.

​

Based near Ipswich in Stowmarket, Suffolk, we believe in a completely bespoke and personal service. You can be assured of our commitment to supporting you as an independent author, wherever you are in the world. Contact us today for a chat - we'd love to make publishing work for you!
