Wild Creativity
Professional Guidance
We help independent authors navigate the self-publishing journey, providing expert assistance and support that helps you turn your manuscript into a book that looks, feels and reads like it belongs on any bookstore shelf.
From editing and formatting, to cover design, character art, custom illustrations and marketing support, we help you create a book that meets all professional industry standards and that you feel proud to hold in your hands.
Our promise to indie authors is simple: We will always treat every project with kindness, care, personal attention and human input only. No AI will come anywhere near your work.

Bring your book to life from first draft to finished product.
Every step of the process in one place, with one main contact for quality and support.
If you are here reading this, it's probably because you're standing where I was 3 years ago. Or even last year. Trying to make sense of all the steps you need to take to self-publish your book. Wondering if anyone will ever even read it. Terrified of the fact that every single day 10,000 books are uploaded onto Amazon, most of them generic, soulless AI slop.
If you are here and still reading this, you probably spent countless hours, days, weeks, months, years - late nights, early mornings - working on your story. On bringing your vision to life. And feeling utterly overwhelmed with all the mountains of advice and information out there.
I started PaperWild because I want to help.
Because I self-published two books, and have a third one in the works. Because I know how overwhelming it is. Because I've seen the articles talking about authors that publish 200 AI books per year, and it's made me want to cry. Because that's not what writing is about.
I started PaperWild because I can help.
I have a degree in dramatic literature. The Chicago Manual of Style has permanent residence in my brain. I have been devouring books for my entire life. There's few things in this world I love more than a book that's captivatingly beautiful on the outside and emotionally gripping on the inside. And I have spent the last 3 years learning everything I could about the self-publishing industry, and every day I still learn something new.
Our Values
Author Centred
We put authors at the forefront of every decision, from timelines to pricing and support. We will always advocate for your creative vision, goals, and long-term success.
Human Art Only
We do not support any AI-generated content or art work. Every manuscript, creative professional and collaborator is personally vetted to ensure originality and integrity.
Supportive
We guide, not gatekeep. Even if you can't book a service through us, don't hesitate to drop a message and ask any questions. Download our free self-publishing road map. We're here to help. We want to help.
Genuine Care
We recognise the investment that goes into every book. The heart, soul, and personality. And we will champion that for you. We are excited to read your work and bring your vision to life.
Aesthetic-Driven
Presentation matters. From cover design and interior layouts to promotional artwork and events, we prioritise intentional aesthetics that elevate your work and help your books sparkle the way they deserve.
Accessible
We want to make self-publishing more welcoming, affordable and human, without compromising on quaity or professionalism.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a reliable and supportive guided self-publishing experience, encouraging authors to maintain all their own rights and creative freedoms while benefiting from professional standards, curated talent and a supportive hub, all in one place.
Who We're For
First Time Writers
If you're just getting started on your writing journey and don't know where to go next to get your book published, we can help.
We will walk you through the self-publishing road map, providing support, advice and guidance every step of the way.
It doesn't matter where you are in your journey, if you're thinking of publishing, get in touch today!
Repeat Authors
Have you already published but found the process overwhelming? Or maybe your book is out and you don't know what to do next.
We hear too many authors having bad experiences, being conned by AI 'artists,' struggling to find reliable editors, and feeling entirely overwhelmed with the process.
At PaperWild, we guarantee you professionalism, quality, and support, where every step of your journey will be supported by a team of creative professionals who all share a commitment against AI and love supporting indie authors.
Seasoned Authors
If you've published multiple books, but they're not having the reach you want, or you're not sure what to do next, we can help.
You don't need to be a celebrity name to make a comfortable income from your books. Living the full-time author dream is possible, but it requires time and dedication to learning new skills beyond just your writing.
We can help expand your reach, provide marketing support and advice on setting up ads, and support you in transitioning from viewing your books as a writer to seeing them as a product of your own business.
You wrote your book because it means something to you. Don't ruin its significance by publishing it with errors, plotholes or AI-generated covers.
