The Problem
Self-publishing promises freedom but delivers overwhelm. You're expected to become a typesetter, a cover designer, a metadata specialist, an audio engineer, and a distribution expert, all before you sell a single copy.
Traditional publishers take years and most of your royalties. Vanity presses charge thousands and deliver mediocrity.
There's a better way. You wrote the book. That's the hard part. Let us handle everything else.
Our Technology
Every stage of our production pipeline runs on proprietary AI technology that we designed, built and tested by publishing our own books. That is why a book takes 48 to 72 hours instead of three months, and why it costs a fraction of a manual service.
Interior, cover, descriptions and metadata all come from the same source file. Nothing is retyped, re-laid out or re-keyed by hand.
A print-ready PDF, a reflowable EPUB and a mastered audiobook, at every trim size each platform requires.
Produced natively in each language, not translated at the end. Metadata, cover text and narration all follow.
What We Do
01Fully typeset EPUB, formatted for every major reader and platform. Clean, reflowable text with a professional interior that matches any traditionally published title.
02Complete interior layout with professional typesetting, plus a full-wrap cover with spine and barcode, print-ready for IngramSpark, Lulu, and KDP.
03The prestige format. Professional interior with premium layout choices, dust jacket or case wrap cover, ready for KDP and IngramSpark distribution.
04Editorially prepared, professionally narrated and mastered, then delivered to more than 30 audiobook retailers and library platforms. Three tiers, from £99.

About Us
D&H Publishing International was founded in 2026 by David and Helen Oldham, authors themselves, with over 20 years of professional experience in publishing and technology.
We built the production systems that power this service because we needed them for our own books. We publish across 7+ languages. We know what professional quality looks like because we demand it for our own titles.
Every book we produce is treated as a unique project, not a template output. Our commitment is to deliver professional results that stand alongside any traditionally published title, at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time.
Between us we publish more than forty titles under five pen names, from French touring guides to celebrity biography, and every one of them was produced on the pipeline we now offer to other authors.

FAQ
It depends on which formats you need. An eBook is £49, a Paperback is £79 and a Hardback is £99. Audiobooks come in three tiers: Standard at £99, Professional at £199 and Premium at £349. Order all four formats together as our Full Package and save 15% on the total. There are no subscriptions, no monthly fees, and no hidden charges.
Just your finished manuscript, in Word, PDF, or plain text. We handle everything else: typesetting, cover design, descriptions, metadata, audio narration, and platform distribution. If you have a cover concept or specific preferences, we're happy to work with them, but it's not required.
Most books are completed within 48 to 72 hours from manuscript submission. Longer titles and audiobooks may take a little more. We'll confirm your specific timeline when we review your manuscript.
Absolutely. You retain 100% of your intellectual property rights. D&H Publishing produces and distributes your book. We never claim ownership of your work.
BookClub2K is our own retail marketplace where your book is listed for free as part of every production package. We handle the listing entirely. We take a 15% commission on sales made through BookClub2K. Sales on any other platform are 100% yours.
Yes. We offer a platform listing service where we upload your book (covers, files, descriptions, metadata) to the platforms of your choice. Pricing: 1 platform for £35, 2 for £50, 3 for £60. This is already included if you order the Full Package.
We provide free ISBNs under the D&H Publishing imprint for every format produced. These are legitimate Nielsen-registered ISBNs. D&H Publishing International appears as the publisher of record. If you prefer your own imprint, you'll need to purchase your own ISBNs directly from Nielsen.
We use the latest AI voice technology to produce professional-quality narration. The result is a fully mastered audiobook with chapter markers, ready for distribution. AI narration allows us to offer audiobooks at a fraction of the cost of human narration, typically saving authors thousands of pounds.
We currently produce books in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and Japanese.
Nothing, in the best possible way. There are no ongoing fees, no monthly charges, and no lock-in. Your book is live, and its future is entirely in your hands. If you'd like to refresh it later with a new cover, updated layout, or refreshed descriptions, our Book Refresh service is available for £99.
For £99, we'll give your existing title a makeover: new cover designs, updated interior formatting, and refreshed platform descriptions written to meet the latest discovery and metadata requirements. It's ideal for books that have been live for a while and need a second wind.
We review every manuscript before production to ensure it meets a baseline quality standard. We're not gatekeepers; we're quality assurance. If your manuscript needs work, we'll let you know honestly and point you in the right direction. We won't put our name on something that isn't ready.
For £299 and up, we'll commission a bespoke book, written, designed, and published in another person's name. It's a unique gift for retirements, birthdays, weddings, or memorials. Full production in 4 to 6 weeks.
