Hi-Ho Silver Lining

We sent a really good book to print this week. There are fewer opportunities for authors with the traditional publishing...

TESTIMONIALS

  • ‛Natalie should be put on a pedestal, the design is so engaging and so inviting…’

    Jon Faine, on his book From Here to There

  • ‘Self-publishing is the way of the future and when solutions to the problems are laid out logically and with attention to detail, as Roz has, outsiders like me begin to comprehend their path to getting successfully published.’

    CECILIA SPENCE, PARTICIPANT, DIY PUBLISHING, HOSTED BY ROZ HOPKINS AT THE NSW WRITER’S CENTRE

  • ‛As a first time author I was recommended to Roz to assist me with getting my book from a mere concept to reality. Roz’s depth of publishing industry knowledge coupled with her business acumen made her the perfect choice. She is personable, professional, reliable and has a great team of people she calls on to create fabulous books. I have no hesitation in recommending Roz to anyone wanting to publish a book and in fact have already raved about her to several people. Plus I would definitely use her services again!’

    Sophie Robertson, Author

  • ‘…edited playfully and wonderfully. As impressive as National Geographic’s photo collections can be, this is livelier … Great stuff.’

    Los Angeles Times

  • ‘Roz is one of the most creative publishers I have worked with in my 15-year career in trade and travel publishing. That this creativity gets properly channelled into well-executed and commercially successful product is testament to strong, balancing attributes of analysis, organisation and instinctive marketing intelligence. Roz is passionate, tenacious, funny and knock-down clever.’

    Simon Westcott, Former Global Publisher, Lonely Planet

  • ‛Roz provided invaluable assistance regarding our work. She provided critique during the development process, advised us on self-publishing and markets and all things legal and copyright related. The end result hit local bookshops and remains a best seller!’

    Julia Griffin, Author

  • ‘Natalie’s design is invariably enormously insightful, rich, original, and brilliant.’

    Jackie French Author of The Tomorrow Book

  • ‘Natalie is a highly creative designer and very talented. Her design work is outstanding … Her concepts are original and have a unique, creative edge to them which always surprise and delight us.’

    Helen Biles Former Creative Director, HarperCollins Publishers

  • ‘Roz has such a strong creative drive … Her phenomenal global success with The Travel Book highlighted her ability to tap into the zeitgeist of a time and importantly drive significant revenue for the business.’

    Chris Rennie, Former Publishing Director, Murdoch Books

  • “Many thanks Roz. We all very much appreciate your fantastic skill in helping us to narrow our vision. Your knowledge and care to understand our passion is very valuable to us.”

    Bec, Ariane and Juliet

We come from the world of traditional book publishing and with us we’ve brought knowledge of everything it takes to get published or make a professional book. We offer our authors a ‘no self-publishing bloopers’ guarantee.

INNOVATION

The publishing world is a lot bigger these days. We embrace the opportunities for book production, marketing and retailing that new technology presents.

EMPOWERMENT

We believe in taking risks while somebody holds your hand. We’ll hang on tight while you need us, but our goal is to transfer our knowledge and set you up for success. You own your book, and the success of your book is all yours.

PURPOSE

We know our publishing purpose. What’s yours? Answering this question and tailoring your approach accordingly is what you can expect when you work with us.

CREATIVITY

We find joy in nurturing the crazy little ideas that lurk inside, recognizing passions – our own and other people – and helping turn crazy little ideas into beautiful things.
