"What sells a book sells a book, same in traditional or self-publishing"
Joni Rodgers
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. Too often I hear horror stories from writers who have been taken in by bold publishing contracts and realise they've lost more than they've gained.
Based just outside Ipswich in Suffolk, my team and I 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
"A really professional and personal service. The package is tailored to your needs with very friendly and responsive communication all along the way. I can really recommend Softwood without reservation."
