About
Troubador Publishing is widely regarded as the UK’s most professional full-service self-publishing provider, publishing over 500 books per year since 1996. Unlike print-on-demand platforms, Troubador offers bespoke production (cover design, typesetting, printing) and distributes through its own warehouse, giving books genuine access to Waterstones, Gardners, and the UK book trade. The company also offers active trade marketing and sales representation — a significant advantage over DIY platforms. Services are fully bespoke: a print-ready POD paperback might cost from around £1,200; a fully printed and distributed hardback from approximately £3,100. Authors retain full rights. Their imprint Matador is the consumer-facing brand for their self-publishing services.
