Independent publishing, author controlled

Your book. A clear way forward.

Casover supports authors at three stages of the publishing journey. This may begin with a detailed manuscript assessment, preparation for publication and launch, or development of an already-published book’s Amazon market position. Each service is evidence-led and clearly scoped. Where AI is used to read and analyse a manuscript, a named person directs the work, judges the report and stands behind what reaches you. You choose the starting point and remain in control.

START WITH WHERE YOUR BOOK IS NOW

Three services. One clear next step.

You do not have to begin at the same point as every other author, and you do not have to commit to a complete publishing package. Choose the situation that best matches your book today.

Manuscript Review

Your manuscript is complete. We assess the book as a whole, identify its strengths and weaknesses, support our findings with evidence and give you practical revision priorities.

Book Launch & Marketing Programme

Your manuscript is ready and you need a launch that is planned rather than hoped for. Casover researches the Amazon position, builds the launch campaign and hands you a 90-day marketing plan you can act on.

EXPLORE THE PROGRAMME

Amazon Book Market Development

Your book is published, but it is not reaching enough of the right readers. We examine its Amazon position, market and presentation, then identify what can realistically be improved.

A publishing partner, not a production line

Sound decisions before more expense.

Editorial work, design, production and launch preparation only work when the decisions behind them are sound. Casover looks at the book, the author and the real route to readers before recommending what should happen next.

We do not sell disconnected services or push every author through the same package. We start with where your book stands and focus on the work that is genuinely justified.

Your book. Your rights. Your decisions.

Human judgement, author control and clear commitments

STRAIGHTFORWARD FROM THE START

Understand the book. Decide what it needs. Do that work properly.

Before any paid work begins, we explain what we recommend, what that stage includes and what it will cost. Any later stage is a separate decision.

Tell us about your book

Explain where the book stands and what you want to achieve. If the manuscript is complete, send it with your enquiry.

We identify the sensible starting point

We review the information and tell you which of the three services, if any, is the right place to begin.

You decide whether to proceed

You receive a clear proposal setting out the work, deliverables and cost. There is no requirement to buy a complete package.

The work is completed

Casover carries out or coordinates the agreed work, keeping you informed and involved in the decisions.

You receive and review the work

Casover delivers the work agreed for that service and hands over the completed materials. Uploading and publishing through Amazon KDP are not included.

Continue, pause or stop

Each completed service leaves you with useful work you keep and a clear choice about what happens next.

CASOVER AUTHOR COMMUNITY

A community for authors at every stage.

Whether you are developing your first manuscript or already publishing, the Casover community is a place to ask questions, share experience and keep learning.

Case study in progress – A Sapper’s Story

A Sapper’s Story is the first published book by Billy MacLeod MBE. Casover’s work with Billy brings together manuscript preparation, the author platform, pre-orders, print production, audience development and launch planning around a single independent publishing project.

The project secured more than 300 pre-orders before publication. Billy’s longstanding reputation and extensive network provided the essential foundation. Casover devised the pre-order methodology, built Billy’s website and customer journey, configured the CRM and email campaigns, and provided the technical support that helped turn that existing goodwill into confirmed orders. The result shows what an established audience and a properly organised campaign can make possible; it is not presented as a typical outcome or a promise for every author.

What the project covers

—

Book and series positioning

—

Author website, pre-orders, CRM and email

—

Print planning and production coordination

—

Payments, customer journeys and supporter engagement

—

Media, advertising and launch development

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Your voice remains yours

Your authorship, your editorial judgement and your approval govern the work. Nothing is finalised without your review and approval.

Clear recommendations

We explain what the book genuinely needs next before asking you to spend money on further work.

Accountable delivery

You know what Casover will do, what you will receive and when you can continue, pause or stop.
