Book Brothers Publishing House

Book Brothers is an international publishing house working with independent authors and rights holders. We publish high-quality literature in English, Finnish, and German through both traditional publishing agreements and flexible self-publishing models. Through our global distribution network, the titles we publish are released as audiobooks, e-books, and print editions across all major streaming platforms and retailers. With thousands of productions completed in our studios, we are industry professionals in audiobook production and digital publishing.

Publishing services

Are you unsure about your book’s structure? Do you need help with marketing? Missing a cover design? We provide the following services:

We offer a one-time editorial assessment of your manuscript starting at €150. An experienced editor will read the entire text and evaluate the structure, narrative, and overall viability of the work. You’ll receive concrete suggestions for structural changes, focus areas, and improvements. This review helps you understand how your manuscript might be developed further before publication or contract negotiations. The service does not include actual editing — it is expert and honest feedback.

We offer a one-off cover design service based on your book’s content and target audience. The designer will review your manuscript or its summary and propose a visual concept that supports the genre and mood of the work. You receive a professionally executed cover that works in digital distribution channels and stands out in the market. The design is created in collaboration with the author and includes necessary rounds to finalize the result. The service focuses specifically on the cover’s concept and execution.

We offer a one-off design service for marketing materials to support your book’s visibility across channels. This includes essential visuals tailored to your book’s identity, such as social media images, banners, or promotional graphics. The design is based on the book’s content, target audience, and chosen distribution channels. You receive a clear and unified visual package that is easy to use in marketing — but the service does not include carrying out the marketing itself.

How Publishing Works at Book Brothers?

Our publishing process is streamlined and transparent — whether you choose audiobook, e-book, print, or a combination of all formats.

1. Initial Conversation

Submit your manuscript or contact us for a no-obligation discussion. We’ll review your project and explore the most suitable publishing model and formats for your goals.

2. Publishing Plan & Creative Brief

Once we move forward, we define your publishing plan. This includes format selection (audiobook, e-book, print, or all), production scope, and timeline. For cover design, you’ll complete a short creative brief to guide our design team.  

3. ISBN & Publishing Setup

We allocate the necessary ISBN(s) and prepare your title for professional publication across selected formats and territories.

4. Editing, Design & Formatting

Your manuscript is professionally formatted according to industry standards. You will receive a sample layout for approval before full production begins. Cover design and interior layout are finalized in collaboration with you.

5. Agreement & Production

Once the creative elements are approved, we formalize the publishing agreement digitally and proceed with full production — including audiobook recording if selected.

Millaisia tarinoita 2000-luvun suomipop-hittien taustalta löytyy?
Miten Samu Haber, Anna Puu, Mariska ja Laura Närhi työskentelevät? Mistä Herra Ylppö, Irina ja Mikko Harju saavat ideoita sanoituksiinsa? Miten Nelli Matula, Roope Salminen ja Aurora ovat muuttuneet musiikintekijöinä? Millainen suhde Tero Vesterisellä, Terhi Kokkosella, Johannes Brotheruksella ja Leolla on sanoituksiinsa? Miten Happoradio, Maustetytöt, Indica ja Kuningasidea saavuttivat läpimurtonsa? Mikä saa Uniklubin ja Discon jatkamaan musiikin tekemistä vielä yli kaksi vuosikymmentä läpimurron jälkeen?
Jokainen lauluntekijä kertoo yhdestä, uransa kannalta erityisen merkittävästä sanoituksesta. Kullakin heistä on oma, uniikki tapansa tehdä musiikkia.
