about us
Authoright was founded in 2007 by an author who wanted to help other authors.
The publishing industry has changed irrevocably in recent years, but Authoright’s ethos has remained the same since its inception: empowering and inspiring new authors whilst helping them to make their publishing dreams a reality.
Authoright takes what it sees as the best bits of traditional publishing and combined them with the advantages of self publishing. they were the ones to coin the term of hybrid publishing. They have been the leading company in this area since 2009.
Authoright has worked with over 3,000 writers. Each year its Author Consultants speak to around 2,500 writers free of charge, helping them to identify and solve their publishing needs; we are the only company to do so anywhere in the world. Authors from all routes to publication can come to Authoright for help with their editing, book cover design, website development, branding, bespoke self publishing, social media, marketing and publicity.
As well as working with individual authors, Authoright works across the publishing industry, with literary agents, traditional publishers, self publishing platforms and writing communities, sharing our knowledge and expertise in order to help everyone working with books ensure they are offering their authors the services and opportunities they really need.
With offices in London and New York, Authoright works with authors from around the world, even promoting books in foreign language territories. We’re the only company of our kind with an international presence and we’re still entirely self-funded.
Above all else, Authoright exists so that writers have someone to talk to. If you think we can help you, just drop us a line.
