What we do

Our book services

Six services, each ordered on its own, so you only ever pay for the stage you are at.

  • Beta Reading

    A structured reader report on plot, pacing, characters and engagement — the reaction you need before strangers leave it in a review.

    From $29Learn more
  • Book Editing

    Proofreading, copy editing and line editing that keep your voice intact while removing everything getting in its way.

    From $59Learn more
  • Book Formatting

    Interior layout that looks like a published book — proper typography, working navigation, and files that upload to Amazon KDP without errors.

    From $49Learn more
  • Book Cover Design

    Covers designed for the shelf they will actually sit on — genre-accurate, legible at thumbnail size, and built to the exact specification your book needs.

    From $79Learn more
  • Amazon KDP Publishing

    We handle the entire Amazon KDP process — account setup, upload, categories, keywords and metadata — so your book goes live correctly the first time.

    From $99Learn more
  • Book Writing

    Ghostwriting for authors with a book in them and no realistic way to write it. Researched, structured and written in your voice, published under your name.

The process

How It Works

Simple, transparent and built around one service at a time.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your book

    Where it has got to, what you think it needs, and when you hope to publish. A few sentences is enough.

  2. 2

    We read it properly

    Someone on the team looks at what you have sent and works out what your book actually needs — which is not always what you asked for.

  3. 3

    A quote and a specialist

    You get a fixed price, a delivery date, and the name of the person who would do the work.

  4. 4

    The work happens

    Your specialist works to the agreed date and stays in touch while they do it.

  5. 5

    Delivery and revisions

    You read the work and say what you think. Revisions are part of the job, not an extra.

  6. 6

    Whatever comes next

    Editing done and now it needs formatting or a cover? Tell us, and we carry on from where we left off.

  • A real person replies

    Every enquiry is read and answered by someone on the team, usually within one business day.

  • Your manuscript stays private

    Anything you send is seen only by the people working on your book, and never shared or published.

  • An honest assessment first

    We tell you what your book needs — including when the answer is that it does not need us yet.

  • One service at a time

    Start with what your book needs now. Add editing, design or publishing whenever you are ready.

Our work

Our work speaks

Covers, interiors and formatting we are proud of.

Portfolio coming soon

We are assembling samples we have permission to show. Client work is confidential by default, so nothing appears here until the author has agreed to it.

Our publishing specialism

We publish to Amazon KDP — and only Amazon KDP

We set your Amazon KDP listing up properly: files that pass review, a description formatted to display correctly, categories chosen for reachable rankings, and keywords based on what readers actually search.

  • Amazon KDP account setup guidance
  • Kindle and paperback upload
  • Categories, keywords and metadata
  • Book description formatting
  • File compliance checks before submission
  • Live listing verification

Your account. Your book. Your royalties.

We publish on your own Amazon KDP account, in your name. Amazon pays your royalties directly to you. We never hold your account, your rights or your money — and you can revoke our access at any point.


Marlowe is an independent agency. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Amazon or Kindle Direct Publishing.

In their words

What authors say about Marlowe

No reviews published yet

Reviews appear here only after a real customer completes an order and leaves one. We would rather show you nothing than show you something invented.

The people

The specialists behind your book

Marlowe is a team of editors, readers, designers, formatters and publishing specialists — not one person wearing six hats.

Team profiles are being prepared

Our specialists' profiles will appear here shortly. In the meantime, tell us about your project and we will tell you exactly who would work on it.

Not a standard job?

Need something custom?

Every book is different. Tell us what you need — length, genre, deadline, anything unusual — and we will send you a fixed quote with a fixed delivery date. Accept it and pay in one click, or ignore it entirely. No pressure, no obligation.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

If your question is not here, ask us — a real person answers.

Do I need to create an account to order?

No. There is no registration and no password. You place your order, pay, and we email you a private link to your order page. That link is how you track progress, message your specialist and collect your files.

Why is each service ordered separately?

Because they happen at different times and depend on each other. Editing changes your word count, which changes your page count, which changes your cover spine. Ordering separately means each service starts with the finished version of the last one — and you only pay for what you need now.

How do I know my manuscript is safe?

Files are stored privately and are never publicly accessible. Only the specialist assigned to your project can open them, download links expire, and we do not share or reuse any part of your work.

What happens if I am not happy with the delivery?

Tell your specialist on your order page before accepting the delivery. Revisions are included on every service. Delivery is only marked complete when you accept it.

Can I talk to someone before ordering?

Yes, and we would encourage it if you are unsure which service you need. Message us on WhatsApp or use the contact form and a real person will answer.

What if my project does not fit a package?

Request a custom offer. Tell us what you need and we will send you a fixed quote with a fixed delivery date, valid until a stated expiry, that you can accept and pay in one click.

Which currencies can I pay in?

Prices are shown in US dollars by default, and you can view them in GBP, EUR or NGN. Payment is taken securely at checkout.

Do you publish to platforms other than Amazon?

No. We specialise in Amazon KDP only, for both Kindle and paperback. We would rather do one platform properly than several superficially.
