Manuscript assessment

A structured editorial read of your manuscript chapter by chapter, with a written report on structure, pacing, clarity and readiness for publication.

Line editing and proofreading against house style, so the final text is consistent, clean and print-ready.

Typesetting to A5 or A4 trim size using our publishing templates: margins, headings, front matter and page numbering applied consistently.

Cover artwork and spine layout sized to your final page count and binding choice.

A verified 13-digit ISBN recorded against your title in our publishing register before release.

Local printing in A5 or A4, standard or cream paper, paperback or hardcover, quoted in Kenyan shillings per copy before the run begins.

Your published title listed in the Talehouse Bookstore in paperback and eBook, with reader ratings and reviews.

An official Tale House publishing certificate issued to each credited author once the book is published.
