Publishing servicesWho we are
The Book Consultancy was founded by Sarah Williams to help authors — whether just beginning and unsure where to turn, or established and overstretched — to get their books out and into the hands of their readers, effectively and efficiently.
As an author of over 80 books herself, and having worked for the eminent French children's book publisher Gallimard Jeunesse, Sarah knows full well the challenges facing authors and publishers at every stage from initial idea to finished book.
About Sarah & the teamDrawing on Sarah's own expertise, and on a range of highly-qualified specialists in different publishing fields, The Book Consultancy provides thoughtful, knowledgeable advice and support, together with firm commercial understanding and a scrupulous attention to detail.

What clients say
The support I received was invaluable. I finally finished the book I'd been struggling with for three years, and it was published to wonderful reviews.
Meticulous, insightful and wonderfully efficient. The editorial work transformed my manuscript — I couldn't recommend the team more highly.
Sarah guided us through the entire publishing process with calm expertise. We had no idea where to start, and ended up with a book we're truly proud of.
