A personal publishing service for authors
Publishing a book can feel daunting, especially if it is your first time. i2i Publishing is here to make the process clearer, more manageable and more personal.
Founded by Lionel Ross in 2005, i2i Publishing works with authors across a wide range of genres, helping them take a manuscript from initial idea or completed draft through to a professionally published book.
Every book is considered on its own merits. If we believe a manuscript is interesting, viable and suitable for publication, the next step is to start a proper conversation about how it could be brought to life.

Submit your manuscript for it to be considered, with a decision made as to whether it is suitable for publication.

6.
ISBN, printing and distribution

A shared-risk publisher
We offer a more supported route than self-publishing, helping authors through the professional process while keeping the service personal and approachable.
We do ask for a small financial contribution towards costs, but only on a shared-risk basis. After that initial payment, the risk is all ours. We’ll never take-on a manuscript if we don’t feel there is a good chance of the book selling.
Genres
From fiction and memoirs to children’s books, poetry, history and specialist non-fiction, i2i Publishing has helped hundreds of authors to bring their work into print.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you edit manuscripts?
Yes. i2i Publishing works with editors who can help prepare manuscripts for publication and ensure each book is presented professionally.
Do you design book covers?
Yes. Cover design is part of the publishing process, and children’s illustration support can also be arranged where required.
Will I lose the copyright to my book?
No. The copyright remains with the author. i2i Publishing publishes the book but does not take ownership of the author’s copyright.
How long does the publishing process take?
The process often takes around two to three months, although this can vary depending on the book, the level of work required and how quickly decisions are made.
Is there any obligation when I submit my manuscript?
No. Submitting your details starts a conversation. A publishing agreement only becomes relevant if both i2i Publishing and the author decide to move forward.
