Tricorn Books

Tricorn Books was set up in response to a frustrated author, who couldn’t find anyone to publish her book. As designers of her book we knew she had an interesting story, as well as a great looking product, so we decided to publish the book ourselves, under the name of Tricorn Books. The business has moved on since then but we weren’t wrong in knowing that others would like the book too - we are on a second print run with that title!
We work with different authors, writing about different things, who have different visions and aspirations. All of them however, have invested a lot of their time and effort in producing their manuscripts, want it published and are not about to entrust it to a generic formulae, template or hope. The writers Tricorn Books work with care about such detail as the foreword, the quality of paper, the choice of font. They want to discuss and consider how it looks, where it is sold, what images are used and how; in short they want to be part of this process. And that’s great – because that’s what we want too! To work with you, chat, discuss, hypothesise, support your ideas and translate your vision, using our expertise. Each book we produce is different and will reflect, you and your work.

Alex Hibbert said: 'Tricorn Books led me through through the unfamiliar world of book publishing with great confidence and knowledge, despite being a first-time author. Their attention to detail and energy for their job; all the way from design through to delivery was remarkable. A reassuring, highly capable and friendly team to work with.'
