Submit Your Manuscript

Your manuscript deserves proper consideration

Completing a manuscript is a major achievement. The next step is finding a publisher who will take the time to understand your book, recognise its potential and explain clearly what could happen next.

At i2i Publishing, we consider manuscripts across a wide range of genres from authors throughout the UK and worldwide. We are an experienced, independent book publisher offering a personal service, with founder Lionel Ross closely involved in every book we publish.

You do not need to prepare a lengthy proposal before contacting us. Simply tell us about your book using the form below and we can start a conversation.

Empowering authors to kickstart careers

i2i Publishing is not a self-publishing company. We do not leave authors to arrange editing, design, production and distribution by themselves.

If we accept your manuscript, our team can manage the complete publishing process. This includes editing, proofreading, formatting, cover design, illustration where required, ISBN registration, printing, ebook production and distribution through the established book supply chain.

Clear information before you decide

Our publishing model is based on shared risk. Where an author contribution is required, the amount and the services included will be explained clearly in a publishing proposal.

Receiving a proposal does not commit you financially or legally. You will have time to read it, ask questions and decide whether you would like to continue. A formal publishing agreement is only prepared if both parties wish to proceed, and it becomes legally binding only when it has been agreed and signed.

A globally recognised publisher

We will arrange distribution and make the book available through suitable retailers and online platforms. The publishing process usually takes around two to three months following acceptance, although the timescale can vary depending on the manuscript and how quickly feedback and approvals are provided.

You do not need to write a detailed synopsis at this stage. A short, clear description will help us understand what your book is about and begin the conversation.

I am publishing my first book with i2i publishing and I have to say that I am very impressed with their professionalism and friendly attitude. Lionel has been wonderful and attentive to my viewpoints and has worked extremely hard to complete the process from start to finish. He has kept in touch and been so kind to ensure my experience has been a positive one. I recommend them to any writer who is seeking a stress free process. Thank you once again to Lionel, Richard and Dino for creating such an amazing final product. Well done.

i2i Publishing has provided me with an excellent service, from the first approach through the editing process, and the production of the final version of my book. Lionel and Mark were supportive, critical (when necessary), creative and enthusiastic about my book. Thank you!

As a debut author I've been very pleased with the support provided by Lionel and his team. For me, i2i is a far better alternative to self-publishing and I'm sure more cost-efficient. I received great editing and marketing advice and a personal appearance of Lionel and Lady Luise at my book launch in Chester. My novel was made available on Amazon and in Gardners Books. I always receive prompt and helpful responses when I contact i2i.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding support and professionalism I received from i2i Publishing in Manchester. The owner Lionel, along with the entire team, provided an unparalleled level of encouragement, assistance, and expertise in bringing my book, 'From Hope to Betrayal', to life. Their friendly guidance, meticulous editing, and beautifully designed cover truly enhanced the essence of my work. Moreover, their dedication to promoting sales was nothing short of remarkable. I wholeheartedly extend my deepest thanks to i2i Publishing and unequivocally recommend their services to any aspiring author seeking to publish their work. Their commitment, professionalism, and genuine care for authors' visions are truly commendable. Choosing i2i Publishing was one of the best decisions I made for my book, and I am immensely grateful for their exceptional support." Geoffrey Hayward. December 2023

Working with i2i has been a real pleasure. From the very beginning, both publisher Lionel, and editor Mark, were as determined as I was that my book Round In Circles - The Story of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel, should be as perfect as possible. Lionel was very generous with the number of photographs I could include, both colour and black and white, the layout is how I wanted it and the result is a beautifully produced book of which I am extremely proud and which has been very well received.
