A Decade of Publishing Craft

From a small editorial desk to a trusted publishing support team working with authors across the UK, Ireland, and beyond.

Built for authors who wanted a better way to publish.

Dublin Publishing Group started with a simple observation: most independent authors were being asked to choose between traditional publishing — which demanded rights and royalties — and self-publishing platforms that offered templates but no real guidance.

We believed there was a third path. Authors could keep full ownership of their work while still working with professional editors, designers, and production specialists who cared about the quality of the final book. That belief became the foundation of everything we do.

  • Founded 2012: Established to provide rights-first publishing support.
  • 1,200+ Projects: From debut novels to professional non-fiction and memoirs.
  • Author-First Model: Every decision measured against what serves the author and the book.

Key milestones in our story

From the first manuscript appraisal to supporting authors across the UK and Ireland, each step shaped the way we work today.

2012

The Beginning

Dublin Publishing Group was founded with a clear mission: help independent authors publish professional books while keeping their rights, royalties, and creative control. The first manuscript arrived within weeks.

2015

Expanding the Team

As demand grew, we built a dedicated team of editors, designers, and production specialists. This allowed us to offer a complete publishing support service — from developmental editing through to print-ready files and launch planning.

2018

National Reach

Authors from every region of the UK and Ireland were working with us. We expanded our service to include audiobook production, video book trailers, and marketing support, responding to what authors actually needed.

2021

Digital Evolution

We refined our remote collaboration process, making it easier for authors to work with us from anywhere. Ebook formatting, metadata management, and direct-to-retail distribution became core parts of the workflow.

Today

Continuing the Mission

Now serving authors across the UK, Ireland, and internationally, Dublin Publishing Group remains committed to the same principle we started with: professional publishing support that puts the author first, always.

The values that guide every project.

These principles shape how we work with authors, manuscripts, and publishing partners every day.

Rights First, Always

We never ask for copyright, royalties, or publishing control. The book belongs to the author — our job is to help make it the best it can be.

Craft Over Speed

Every manuscript gets the time it needs. Editorial care, precise design, and thorough proofing matter more than rushing to a deadline.

Clear Communication

Authors should never feel lost in the process. We explain what we are doing, why it matters, and what comes next — in plain language.

Transparent Pricing

Every project begins with a written scope and a clear quote. No hidden fees, no upsells, no surprises.

Author Partnership

We work with authors, not for them. Every decision goes through the author for approval before it becomes final.

UK & Ireland Focus

We understand the UK and Irish publishing landscape — from retail channels and distribution to reader expectations and market trends.

By the numbers

A decade of publishing support measured in manuscripts improved, books produced, and authors supported.

Since 2012
Projects 1,200+
Authors 800+
Royalty Kept 100%
