Get started today Our services
Star Book Guide was founded with a singular mission: to empower authors at every stage of the creative and publishing process. Our team consists of experienced editors, published authors, literary consultants, and design professionals who understand the nuances of the modern book industry.
We believe that every manuscript deserves careful attention. Our approach combines traditional editorial craftsmanship with contemporary market insight, ensuring your book not only reads beautifully but also reaches the right audience. From fiction to non-fiction, memoirs to academic texts, we have the expertise to handle projects across all genres and formats.
Based in Northern Ireland, we serve authors throughout the United Kingdom and internationally. Our remote-first workflow means we can collaborate seamlessly regardless of your location, using secure document-sharing platforms and regular video consultations to keep your project on track.
We provide end-to-end support for authors, covering every aspect of the book creation and publishing pipeline with meticulous professional care.
Our developmental editors work closely with you to strengthen your manuscript's structure, pacing, character development, and narrative arc. We provide detailed feedback reports and collaborative revision plans that transform rough drafts into polished, compelling stories.
Every sentence matters. Our copy editors refine grammar, punctuation, consistency, and style while preserving your unique voice. Final proofreading catches any remaining errors before your manuscript goes to print or digital distribution.
Your cover is the first impression readers will have. Our design team creates striking, genre-appropriate covers that stand out on both bookshop shelves and online thumbnails. We provide multiple concepts and unlimited revisions until you are completely satisfied.
Have a story to tell but need a skilled writer to bring it to life? Our ghostwriters specialise in capturing your voice and vision, producing publication-ready manuscripts for memoirs, business books, self-help guides, and fiction across multiple genres.
Navigate the complex world of traditional and self-publishing with confidence. We help you evaluate publishing routes, prepare query letters and book proposals, select distributors, set pricing strategies, and understand royalty structures and contracts.
A great book deserves a great launch. We develop tailored marketing strategies including social media campaigns, press releases, author platform building, Amazon optimisation, book blog outreach, and launch event coordination to maximise your reach and sales.
We have refined our workflow over years of collaboration with hundreds of authors to deliver consistent, high-quality results on every project.
We begin with a free consultation to understand your vision, goals, timeline, and budget. This helps us recommend the ideal combination of services for your project.
Our editors review your manuscript and provide a comprehensive evaluation report with actionable recommendations, a project timeline, and a transparent cost estimate.
Through iterative rounds of editing, design, and feedback, we refine your book together. You remain in control at every stage with regular check-ins and progress updates.
We guide you through the final steps of formatting, distribution setup, and launch strategy, and remain available for ongoing support as your book finds its audience.
"Star Book Guide transformed my rough manuscript into something I am genuinely proud of. Their developmental editor understood my vision from day one and helped me elevate every chapter. The whole experience was collaborative, professional, and deeply encouraging."
"As a first-time author, I had no idea where to start with publishing. The team walked me through every decision — from choosing between traditional and self-publishing to designing a cover that perfectly captures my book's essence. Highly recommended."
"The ghostwriting service was exceptional. They captured my voice so authentically that friends who read the manuscript assumed I wrote every word myself. The professionalism and attention to detail throughout the entire process exceeded all my expectations."
