Troubador Publishing Ltd

I published with Matador, an imprint of Troubador. All the staff were very helpful and professional. Im so proud of my book Mr Hammond and the Poetic Apprentice. The cover is fantastic. From initial contact to copy editing to typesetting and cover design and publicity I felt everyone was very skilled at their tasks.

We knew from the start we wanted The Magazine Girls to be a paperback, but were stuck on what the exact size should be, what paper to choose and also the format of the book in terms of how to use our photographs almost 100 images! I say we because our book has seven different authors each telling their story. The end result is very much down to the guidance received from the publishing team, who were hugely helpful. From the outset Kelly Coombs at Troubador gave us wise advice based on her knowledge of the contents of our book as to how our photographs should be used. After many conversations with her, we decided to integrate our photographs into the text (to illustrate stories as they appeared) rather than placing the photographs together in plate sections. The production team at Matador carefully followed our instructions throughout and at proof stage carefully amended anything that needed attention. Id like to stress that this project could have all been incredibly tricky, because with seven authors and 100 photographs between us, this venture could have imploded! The opposite is true, we now have a beautiful looking paperback and E book, thanks to the care and attention of the professional folk at Matador.

I have been very pleased by my experience publishing my novel Rabble! A story of the Paris Commune with Troubador: editing, design, promotion and the very good relations with all the staff.

Absolutely fantastic service from Troubadour. During the publication of my book they helped every step of the way, giving quality advice and being extremely patient with me. The end product was top notch. Will definitely be using them for any future books and recommend any aspiring author to consider using their excellent service.

I would like to express a very sincere and heartfelt thanks to Hannah and Beth and their colleagues at Troubador, for their patience, support and advice throughout the whole process of producing a book. I have learned a great deal about production, publication and marketing. The intricate processes involved, especially regarding copywrite and photo/image presentation, have been explained and supplemented with clear and easy to follow written guidelines. The attention to detail and the quality of the final book, including the cover design, has more than met my expectations. A real milestone in my life has been achieved in my early seventies, the imminent publication of my semi biographical book about my parents, entitled "Mary and Paddy, Joy Wrapped in Tears". I never thought that when conceiving the idea of the book, some three years ago, that I would actually get to this stage. A very big thank you to all at Troubador, without whose help and encouragement this would not have been realised. Thank you, Peter
