Promoting and selling your publications to a broad market is crucial. Our extensive database of trade customers, combined with our highly experienced sales team, ensures that your titles receive substantial market exposure, enhancing sales opportunities for your publications.

Our in-house design and marketing department has specialized in promoting books for over three decades. We offer a comprehensive solution, including EDI ordering, title registration with international databases, and press promotion through our well-established relationships with national media. Additionally, we provide targeted social media promotion to maximize your book's visibility across multiple platforms.

Ecommerce

We understand the significance of establishing a strong online presence and offer a range of services to help you succeed in the digital marketplace. Our specialist designers and web developers build bespoke e-commerce sites and manage various digital sales channels, ensuring seamless user experiences and optimizing your potential for sales growth.

Publication

We are passionate about preserving as many written works as possible in printed form, recognizing that not all authors have access to traditional publishing routes. To bridge this gap, we offer a complete, end-to-end service designed to bring your manuscript from draft to finished product, allowing anyone to see their work realized as a printed book.

Print

Utilizing our established relationships with domestic and international printers, we offer flexible, high-quality printing solutions tailored to your needs. With both digital and lithographic printing options available, we can handle production runs of any size, always ensuring the highest quality.

Our Origins

Described by one reviewer as the Rolls-Royce of local books, The Halsgrove Group’s pedigree in regional publishing is built on the publication of titles with national quality in regional and niche interest markets. For three decades, we have built upon this reputation, drawing from our Westcountry origins to become a major player in the regional hardback market.

Our Future

Building on three decades of success, The Halsgrove Group is expanding beyond regional publishing to offer a comprehensive range of publishing, printing, and distribution services nationwide. With our wealth of experience and commitment to quality, we now serve both niche and broader markets. As we grow, our focus remains on delivering excellence and providing tailored solutions to meet the evolving needs of our clients in an ever-changing industry.
