These are the questions we are always being asked...
Do you only work with big publishing companies?
ANSWER
No! Although we create material for several international publishing houses we also work with individuals and smaller non-publishing companies. We are interested in discussing any job, however large or small.
Can I pick and choose which publishing services you do for me?
ANSWER
Absolutely! If you just need a designer, or an editor, we are just as happy to help as we are creating an entire book for you.
I only need a few printed copies for my family, can you still help me?
ANSWER
Yes we can! Many customers only need a handful of printed copies, maybe for their families and friends, and we can arrange a small number of copies as well as large print runs.
How long does it take to make a book?
ANSWER
That is really difficult to answer. It depends on so many factors. However, we have the resources to produce books very quickly and although there are certain things which can't be rushed (such as shipping times from overseas printers) we will always be very transparent about the deadlines involved.
How long have you worked in publishing?
ANSWER
We have over forty years experience in the publishing industry across Europe, Africa and Australasia! We have seen the publishing world transform into a digital workspace from the days of pen and paper.
Do you publish books of your own?
ANSWER
Yes we do! We are the publishers of the highly successful 5 Year Journal which can purchase here.

Can you show me some examples of your work?
ANSWER
We are very proud of so many of the books we have created! Here are a couple of stand-outs.
We created the Australian War Diary from scratch. We nurtured it from an idea into a finished book which sold wonderfully well at all KMART stores across Australia.
The Little Cookbook series has been a tremendous success. Originally created for a UK supermarket, the books were so well received that they were released into the general trade.
You specialise in maps. Why is that?
ANSWER
In the early days we worked exclusively on maps and atlases. We produced maps for all the guide books at the time – Fodor and Dorling Kindersley to name just two. Since them we have been used by many publishers for their specific mapping requirements.
Computer generated or hand-drawn, we can meet your requirements and no job is too large or too small!
This map for Random House Australia, uses hand-shaded coastlines to give an old-world feel to these maps of discovery and adventure. All text, boundaries and routes have been carefully researched and plotted.
Simon and Schuster Australia commissioned this map for a novel about a land far, far away! The 3D mountains, playful cartouches and detailed houses and water features bring this mythical land to life.
