Our Publishing Services

Alongside publishing our own titles, A Mischief of Magpies offers professional publishing support for authors, brands and organisations looking to bring their books to life.

From the first stages of an idea through to the finished book, we provide guidance, expertise and practical support across the publishing process. Whether you’re looking to create a traditionally printed book, explore print-on-demand, or develop a project for a specific audience, we can help you navigate the journey with confidence.

Our publishing services include manuscript reviews, development editing, copy-editing, proofreading, project management, production support and guidance on bringing your book to market. Working alongside our creative team, we can help transform your words and ideas into beautifully crafted books that are ready for readers.

With over 25 years of publishing experience, we have worked across an extensive range of genres, including children’s books, fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, music books, reference titles, activity books, puzzle books and more. Our experience includes creating award-winning and internationally recognised projects for brands and institutions such as Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Trolls, IWM, FIFA, Rugby World Cup, The Olympics and The Met New York, as well as working with leading publishers including The British Library, Bloomsbury, DK and HarperCollins.

We believe every book is unique. We work closely with our authors and partners to understand their goals, offering a friendly, collaborative approach with the care and attention needed to turn ideas into finished books.
