Live Wire Books offers a comprehensive private publishing service for clients ranging from individual authors right through to private or public companies and institutions. Our special expertise lies in providing a complete publishing package that involves researching and writing 'ghosted' autobiographies, memoirs and company histories from scratch, as well as editing, designing and printing the finished book.

Alternatively, we are also happy to edit an existing manuscript or even to help you write your lifestory or memoirs before preparing them for publication either in paperback, full colour hardback, wiro-bound or any other required format.

Our existing titles range from a sailing cookbook to the colourful autobiography of a World Rally Championship-winning team manager; from a former royal chef's recollections of his childhood in Italy - delightfully illustrated with his own watercolours and full of his favourite recipes - to a lavishly produced coffee table volume celebrating the creation of a very special villa on Sardinia's exclusive Costa Smerelda.

We have also produced a history of the Whitstable Oyster and Fishery Company - one of the oldest public companies in the country - as well as the extraordinary rags-to-riches story of Portuguese restaurateur Lino Pires and the autobiography of motorsport legend Tom Wheatcroft, owner of Donington Park motor racing circuit.

From a limited edition of just a few books intended for family and friends to a print-run of several thousand copies, we can produce as many copies as you would like. We can also help with publicity and promotion and advise on marketing and distribution if you wish your book to reach a wider audience.
