Book Styles & Genres
Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, children’s, cookbooks, academic work and everything between — each with its own production rules, and specialists who know them.
A thriller, a photo-led cookbook and a peer-reviewed monograph are three completely different manufacturing problems wearing the same word: “book”. Trim sizes differ, paper differs, colour handling differs, and so does what a reader expects from the cover.
Categories we produce regularly
- Fiction — literary, thriller, romance, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, historical
- Non-fiction — memoir, business, self-help, history, popular science
- Illustrated — children’s picture books, graphic novels, art and photography
- Reference — cookbooks, manuals, textbooks, academic and technical titles
- Poetry and short-form collections
Why the category decides the build
Genre sets reader expectation, and reader expectation sets the design brief. It also sets the practical spec: colour interior or mono, coated or uncoated stock, reflowable or fixed-layout ebook. We choose those with your category in mind rather than applying one house style to everything.
