Bookish Badger is an independent UK horror imprint. We print on demand, share the profit with you fairly, and give you a workspace where you can see exactly what is happening with your book.
Your share is worked out on net profit: what a book earns after the printer and card fees are paid. No hidden overheads.

How it works
1
Tell us about your book
Register your interest with a short note about what you have written.
2
Upload and we review
If it is a fit we invite you in. Upload your cover and manuscript, and we check everything and tell you plainly what to fix.
3
We print on demand
Copies are printed when someone orders, so there is no stock to hold and no up-front print run to pay for.
4
You get paid
Your share is paid out in regular runs once orders are past the return window, with a statement showing every line.
Good to know
What do you publish?
Adult horror, including extreme horror. Every book carries a content notice so readers know what to expect.
Will I see who bought my book?
No. You see the order, the book, the format and the country it is going to. Customers’ names, emails and addresses stay private.
When do I get paid?
Once an order is past the return window it counts towards your next payment run. Your earnings page shows what is owed and every payment made.
Do you edit my book?
We review every submission and send clear feedback if something needs to change before it goes on sale.
Register your interest
Access to the author workspace is by invitation. Tell us about your book and we will be in touch.
