About Us.

Who We Are

No outsourcing. No handoffs. Just the people doing the work.

Ordwick was founded on a simple idea: a book deserves more than a print run, it deserves a team that fights to get it in front of the right readers.

We’re a full-service book publishing company. That means editing, design, formatting, printing, distribution and marketing are handled by one in-house team, not farmed out to freelancers and agencies you never speak to.

Mission Statement

To preserve book culture and enrich the UK literary landscape by empowering authors to share their story, wisdom, increasing domestic publications, and inspiring a new generation of passionate readers.

  • Empowering Seniors: We help older generations write, format, and publish their memoirs and knowledge.
  • Boosting UK Lit: We actively launch new titles to increase total publications across the UK.
  • Creating Readers: We publish engaging, accessible books to grow the UK reading community.
  • Preserving History: We protect vital cultural and personal histories before they are lost

Vision Statement

To become the UK’s leading publisher that bridges generations, ensuring vital life stories and diverse voices are preserved in print, while fostering a more connected, literate, and book-loving society.

Step-by-Step Guidance: We provide patient, hands-on technical and editorial support.
Legacy Building: We turn personal memories into professional, high-quality paperback and hardback books.
Combating Isolation: The collaborative publishing process keeps our authors deeply connected and valued.
Community Reach: We partner with schools, libraries, and hubs to spark a love for reading

Our Values

What we stand for.

Every author relationship at Ordwick runs on the same three principles, no exceptions, no shortcuts.

01
Author-First

Your book, your rights, your final call. We handle the editing and design, you decide what goes to print.

02
Integrity

Contracts you can actually read, timelines we stick to, and no promises about sales numbers we can't back up.

03
Global Reach

Editing, design, printing and marketing, one team, start to finish. No freelancers you'll never speak to.
