I’m Stephen Hawley Martin, an award-winning author and Editor & Publisher of The Oaklea Press. You can find out about me by Googling my full name, or you can ask OPENAI.COM to tell you about me. 

I’m in the process of growing The Oaklea Press, and so I’m looking for good books to publish. I'm happy to say we are well on our way and now have more than 220 books in print.

If you have written a manuscript and don't yet have a publisher, I want to know about it. Assuming I believe what you've written has has sales potential and has been professionally edited and proofread, I will publish your book as a Kindle ebook, in trade paperback and in casebound hardcover.

If I review your manuscript and find that it needs work, I will let you know and offer to bring it up to speed for a small fee. Typically, I will line edit and proofread a manuscript of up to 40,000 words, a modest fee of only $500. 

If your book is longer than 40,000 and needs work, the charge will be in proportion to that. So, for example, a 50,000 word manuscript would be $625. There will be no additional or hidden charges and you will receive a royalty on sales equal to 12% of the retail price of the different editions of your book that sell.

Use the menu at the top of this page to have a look at a few of the books we already have in print. I think you will agree your book will be in good company. Then use the form below to get in touch. 

Please tell me what your book is about and attach a Word file of your manuscript so that I can review it. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
