A writer who is brilliant at literary fiction may be the wrong choice entirely for a business memoir. That is why MC Clurg Publishers keeps a broad roster and matches each project to someone who already knows the territory — whether that is a novel, an autobiography, or something that sits awkwardly between categories.
Almost every book is, underneath, a story being told. What separates a good novelist is the ability to shape a plot so it actually lands — knowing where to withhold, where to accelerate, and how much a reader will carry before they need a payoff. Our fiction writers can take a premise scribbled on a single page and find the whole book inside it.
The hard part of non-fiction is staying readable while staying accurate. Facts alone do not keep anyone turning pages. Our non-fiction writers know how to build an argument that carries the reader forward, so the book teaches something without ever feeling like homework.
A biography lives on how well it understands its subject. That means finding what made the person who they were, deciding what belongs on the page and what does not, and presenting them honestly enough that readers believe it. Our biographers handle all three, and they know how to keep a life story moving.
Everything depends on judging what your reader already knows. Pitch it too high and you lose them; too low and you insult them. Our writers find that line early and hold it, keeping the detail rigorous while the prose stays genuinely enjoyable to read.
Your own life is the hardest subject to write about well — everything feels significant when you lived it. The craft lies in choosing which parts earn their place and which quietly do not. Our autobiography writers make those calls with you, and keep the voice on the page recognisably yours.
Memoir asks you to hand over things that matter to you. Our writers treat that seriously, shaping your memories into a book that reads well without flattening what made them worth telling.
Children are the least forgiving readers there are — they simply stop listening. Writing for them demands economy, rhythm and characters worth returning to. Our children's writers have all three, and they build books that parents end up reading aloud more times than they expected.

Our writers keep working a draft until it holds up under a careful reading, because that is the standard a manuscript has to meet before it leaves here
Getting published the conventional way means queues, intermediaries and a royalty share that rarely favours the author. Our in-house publishing removes most of that. Your book goes out through far fewer hands, and considerably more of what it earns stays with you.
We have been producing and publishing books for a long time, and the process has been refined by every one of them. Working with this team means working with people who have done each stage often enough to do it quickly — without that speed ever costing you the quality of the finished book
Placing
The Order
Once the order is in, it goes straight to our writing team and work begins — you can stop
carrying the project around in your head from that point on

while the direction is still easy to change.
Feedback You read the finished draft and tell us what is not working. Anything you dislike gets reworked at this stage, before the book is signed off.
Delivery The completed book comes to you with every right transferred across — from here it is entirely yours, with your name on the cover and no claim held by us.
Late night, early morning, weekend — there is always someone on our team ready to pick up.
The nicest part of this job is the message that arrives after delivery. Here is a handful of them, from writers who let our team carry their manuscript over the line.
I came to MC Clurg Publishers with half a draft and low expectations. What came back read better than anything I could have written alone. Genuinely impressed by this team.
A few weeks into working with MC Clurg Publishers I stopped worrying entirely. Someone was always reachable, and not once did I have to chase an update.
Writing, editing, cover, listings — MC Clurg Publishers handled all of it while I got on with my actual job. Having one team own the whole thing made an enormous difference.
I priced this out with four other companies before choosing MC Clurg Publishers, and nobody came close on value. The work was careful, the process was calm, and the quote held.
Easy people to work with, start to finish. The team at MC Clurg Publishers stayed with my project right through launch instead of disappearing once the manuscript was signed off.
