Why have a novel printed?
Having your own novel printed is the ultimate step for any writer. Whether you want to print a fiction book as a personal project or self-publish for a wider audience — a physical book makes your story tangible and gives it the professional appearance it deserves.
Your story, your book
Publish your novel exactly as you want it, with no compromises on design or content.
Professional finishing
Choose a luxury hardcover for a timeless book or a flexible softcover for a modern alternative.
Flexible print runs
From just one copy, with no minimum order. Order exactly what you need.
Creative freedom
Full control over design, typography and content — you decide how your novel looks.
Paper, formats and finishing
The right combination of paper, format and finishing determines the reading experience of your novel. We offer options specially suited for fiction, so your book not only looks beautiful but reads comfortably too.
Paperback vs. hardcover
A hardcover novel exudes prestige and durability — ideal for a debut novel, a limited edition or as a gift. A paperback (softcover) is lighter, more flexible and more affordable for larger print runs. Both options are available in standard book formats such as pocket (A5), standard (B5) and large (A4).
Reading comfort and typography
For optimal reading comfort, we recommend cream-white, uncoated paper (80–100 gsm) that absorbs light and reduces eye fatigue. This gives your novel the warm, classic appearance of a traditionally published book. Combine this with a well-chosen typeface and generous margins for the best reading experience.
Print on demand — how it works
With our print-on-demand service, you order exactly the number of copies you need. No stock risk, no minimum order — just professional quality at competitive prices. Ideal for self-publishers and indie writers.
