Approach

A Collaborative Journey, Not Just a Service

At DPC, we believe the publishing process should be as rewarding as the finished book itself. That’s why we take a personalised, consultative approach with every author we work with—whether it’s your first book or your fifth.

What Makes Our Approach Different?

You're in control. We're here to support you every step of the way.

Human-first,

not platform-first

Tailored advice, not templated instructions

Author-led decisions,

not publisher-driven compromises

We're here to support you every step of the way.

1. We Start with a Conversation

Every project begins with a proper introduction. When you request a quote, we’ll ask you to tell us a little about your manuscript, your goals, and the services you're

interested in.


Once we’ve reviewed the details, we’ll reach out to discuss the best next steps—whether that’s shaping up a rough draft, polishing your final manuscript, or

preparing a book for print. We listen first. Then we advise.


2. You’ll Have a Dedicated Account Manager

From day one, you'll have one consistent point of contact—someone who knows your name, your project, and your publishing goals. They’ll guide you through each

stage of the process and keep everything on track.

We’re not a revolving door of freelancers or automated responses. We build real working relationships, because that’s how the best books get made.


3. We Tailor the Process to Fit You

There’s no one-size-fits-all in publishing—especially when it comes to independent authors. Your book, your timeline, your budget, your vision: all of it matters.

We’ll help you decide which services are right for your project and explain everything clearly along the way—so you always know what’s happening and why.

4. We Keep Communication Simple and Honest

No jargon. No confusing technical talk. Just clear, supportive communication in plain English.

We’ll provide:

  • Detailed timelines for each service
  • Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
  • Regular check-ins so you’re never left wondering what comes next


If something needs adjusting along the way, we’ll talk it through and adapt.


5. We Deliver Bookshop-Quality Results

Every book we help produce meets the highest international publishing standards.


That means:

  • Professionally formatted interiors
  • Sharp, error-free copy
  • Stunning, genre-appropriate cover design
  • Premium-grade printing and materials

The goal? A finished book you’ll be proud to hold—and confident to sell.


6. We’re With You Beyond the Final Page

Our job doesn’t end the moment your book is printed. We’re here for follow-up print runs, reprints, or your next title. Many of our authors come back time and again—not because they have to, but because they trust us. Publishing is a journey, and we’re in it for the long run.
