Vision

Our passion and our promise to authors.

Our vision is simple: to empower independent authors to publish books that stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the industry—books that are not only well written, but beautifully designed, professionally printed, and ready to be discovered by readers around the globe.

A Publishing Partner, Not a Platform

In an industry crowded with automated self-publishing services and faceless providers, we stand for something different.

We believe publishing should be:

Collaborative, not transactional

Personal, not generic

Not constrained by industry norms

Truly consultative approach

Printing press in operation, printing colorful pages. Machinery and stacks of paper visible.

Championing Independent Authors

We work exclusively with independent authors. That’s a deliberate choice.


We don’t answer to agents or publishers. We don’t filter projects based on trends or commercial expectations. We support authors who write from the heart, who pursue their vision, and who are ready to bring their book into the world on their own terms.


Whether you’re writing fiction, memoir, non-fiction, poetry or something entirely unique—we’re on your side.

International Perspective, Personal Touch

Though based in the United Kingdom, Dave Palmer Consulting works with authors across the English-speaking world—including Ireland, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.


Wherever you’re writing from, you’ll receive:


  • Dedicated support from a real human being
  • Publishing guidance tailored to your region and readership
  • Bookshop-quality production designed to meet international standards


You don’t need to understand every step of the publishing process—you just need to start. We’ll walk with you from manuscript to finished book.

Because we love books.

Because we believe in authors.

Because we know how powerful it is to hold your finished work in your hands—and say, “I made this.”
