With almost 80 combined years of production, technical and editorial knowledge, we will advise on the best method to undertake the work needed to ensure everything is within budget and of high quality. We have access to many different resources, both in the UK and India, so can advise on how to best undertake your project and present a full proposal on request.

We understand the importance of deadlines, therefore we take schedules very seriously. By managing every project in-house we will ensure that all stages of any project are completed within the designated dates. We can also suggest and provide schedules for all work undertaken.

I rate Riverside Publishing Solutions very highly. Paul and Duncan were extraordinarily helpful in preparing my book for publication and were most professional throughout. They were also a pleasure to deal with. I have since warmly recommended them to others whom I know are thinking of writing a book.

From our initial phone call to receiving our books, Duncan was friendly, professional, organised, on time and creative. We had a complicated project with a high-spec hardback and also a paperback - Duncan had the experience, expertise and connections to ensure our final product was of the highest quality. If you have a book project, then I highly recommend Riverside.

Without doubt, the easiest way to get a book published is with Riverside Publishing Solutions Ltd.

The process from the offset was incredibly simplistic and straightforward, thanks to Duncan’s vast experience and incredible knowhow of the publishing fraternity. More impressively, the speed and articulate brevity at which Duncan operates, which is second-to-none.

I would totally recommend Riverside Publishing Solutions Ltd for any work, no matter how big or small.

Duncan and his team at Riverside / Chalkstream have just published my second book with them: 'Bottomless Landing'. If you're wanting a truly co-operative experience working with couple of guys who are relaxed, yet with years of experience and open to whatever YOU want to achieve I'd thoroughly recommend them.

Not for you if you're keen to make millions - publishing this way isn't going to deliver that - BUT will make getting your book out there easy and affordable. Very satisfying - like the dish I celebrated with when Bottomless Landing came out!

I thought of writing my biography for the benefit of my grandchildren, and went to Riverside Publishing Solutions for advice and guidance.  They could not have been more helpful from the very start.  Paul kept a watchful,  perceptive and reactive 'eye' on my progress throughout , leading to a successful conclusion.  Highly recommended!

Paul gave me the benefit of his wealth of experience and immense patience when I asked him to print a very short run of books . My mother had written a child’s story and painted accompanying  illustrations before WW2 which had been lying in an envelope since her death some 5 years ago. Paul carefully translated my wish to produce my mother’s work in a bound book and the result is beyond expectations and so special. Thank you very much Paul. I highly recommend this company.

If you are seriously considering self-publishing, I would thoroughly recommend Riverside Publishing Solutions. I have now published three books with them and my experience has been very positive. Both Duncan and Paul are very professional and friendly, nothing is too much trouble and they walked me through every step of the publishing process, always hugely supportive every step of the way from the draft to the final publication. I am delighted with the finished product. The quality is excellent and it was a pleasure to work with Duncan and Paul. A fantastic team. I would recommend Riverside Publishing to any aspiring author.

I recently published my teenage book 'Casina and the Time Portals' with the help of of Duncan and Paul who are both professional and very experienced in the field.  They made the whole process fun and creative.  The best part was the joint creative process where you get to participate in the design of your own book cover as well as the MS layout. They were also patient, understanding and helpful at every turn of the often tricky path to the end product. I would recommend Riverside Publishing to anyone wanting to publish their own book.
