Thinking about writing a book in Cardiff or South Wales? Whether you’re an experienced author or just starting out, Good Life Publishing offers a complete, supportive route from first idea to finished book – and crucially, to an audience.
A local publishing partner you can talk to
Publishing a book can feel like a big step – especially if you’ve never done it before.
That’s where we come in.
Based in South Wales, Good Life Publishing works with authors across Cardiff and beyond, offering a friendly, straightforward and professional service that takes the mystery out of publishing.
Some of our authors arrive with a fully written manuscript. Others simply have an idea they’ve been meaning to explore for years. Both are equally valid starting points.
Everything you need to publish your book
We provide a complete, end-to-end publishing service, tailored to your project:
Manuscript development and editorial support
Professional copywriting and ghostwriting
Book design, layout and typesetting
Cover design and branding
ISBN allocation and publishing guidance
Print production and digital formats
We work across a wide range of books, including fiction, autobiographies and memoirs, business titles, as well as photography and art books.
From first idea to finished book
Traditional publishing can feel distant and difficult to access.
Our approach is different.
We work closely with you throughout the process, offering clear guidance, honest advice and creative input where needed. You remain part of the journey at every stage, ensuring the final book feels exactly right.
More than publishing – we help your book get seen
This is where we really stand apart.
Producing a book is one thing. Getting it in front of people is another.
Through our network of established lifestyle and travel platforms – including City Life Cardiff, Vale Life Magazine and Travel Life Magazine (plus many more), we are able to offer meaningful exposure opportunities for the books we help create.
In simple terms, your book doesn’t just get published – it has a platform.
Ideal for first-time and experienced authors
We regularly work with:
First-time authors taking their first step into publishing
Individuals writing autobiographies or family stories
Business owners creating books to build authority
Creatives producing photography or art-led books
Established authors looking for a more flexible approach
There’s no single type of author, and no single type of project.
Approachable, honest and easy to work with
We’re often told that we’re refreshingly down to earth.
Publishing a book should feel exciting, not overwhelming. We keep things clear, collaborative and enjoyable, building relationships that often continue long after the first project is complete.
