Why Publish with Thread?
BETTER DIGITAL PUBLISHING
We believe that the best publishing happens with great care, creativity and attention to detail.
That means a clear vision for an author supported by the best editing, cover design, marketing and publicity. That means doing everything well – including the details, like metadata and pricing. That means optimising over time, and promoting titles well after publication month.
We focus on quality over quantity. We publish a small number of very talented authors so that we can focus on the detail and create brilliant books that sell. We aim to add value every step of the way.
HOW DO WE ADD VALUE TO OUR AUTHORS?
EDITORIAL EXPERTISE
Our team of editors has years of big-publisher experience. They combine commercial know-how with rigorous editorial processes to make your books the best they can be.
Everything we do is tailored for our authors. There are no templates, no shortcuts. Your writing is unique, so to do it justice we take a unique approach to publishing it.
Our publishing is collaborative – we involve our authors in the publishing process. We listen. We’re always looking to improve, so feedback is important to us.

HIGH AUTHOR ROYALTIES
We don’t pay advances, but we do pay high digital royalty rates of 45% of net receipts on sales of ebooks and audio editions.
We pay our royalties quarterly, which means that our authors have a regular income. We pay 80% of net receipts on sub-rights income, which includes translation rights.
