Stardust Book Services is a pre-publication author services company offering high-quality services to writers, authors, and publishers. We are a small, independent company located in the small town of Bracknell in the southeast of the UK and offer the widest array of author services on the market. Our team are based around the world, including countries such as the UK, US, Canada, Australia, The Philippines, Brazil, South Africa, Austria, and Lithuania.
Our team is comprised of award-winning artists and designers, authors, plus vetted, qualified editors to bring you an exceptional array of services. We're fantasy and romance specialists in all areas, but we welcome most genres.
And very importantly, we NEVER use AI. Every single piece of work we produce is by human hands. We support the creative industry in keeping it uniquely human.
We were shortlisted for the British Small Business Awards in 2023 and have spoken on panels at London Book Fair, plus exhibited at shows across the country.
Stardust Book Services is a welcoming, inclusive company, and we are dedicated to providing trust and integrity to the writing and self-publishing community.
An introduction from our founder, Nastasia Bishop-McHugh:
Welcome to Stardust Book Services; I’m so glad you’re here!
Stardust Book Services was born from a passion project of wanting to provide unrivalled support to indie authors in the self-publishing sphere. When I started my own serious writing journey circa 2020, I joined many writing groups online and found two constant complaints: where could authors find multiple service providers in one place? And how could they know who to trust?
I wanted to solve this problem.
Having used some furlough leave from an unrelated corporate job to retrain as a fiction editor, I wanted to level up how I could help authors. So, Stardust Book Services was born!
We might have the appearance of a large corporate company, but we are small (but mighty!) I operate Stardust Book Services alone from my home office and HQ in Berkshire, UK. I manage our team remotely, handle all our social media, website upkeep, administration including contracts and invoicing, mentorship and guidance, and much more.
When you choose Stardust, you’re choosing to support the livelihood of independent artists and editors, not a faceless billion-dollar corporation. We don’t outsource work to bottom-rate suppliers, and we don’t underpay our team. Each member of our team was specially curated and headhunted by me for their talent and skill, and I’m really proud of the team we have!
Thank you for your support of Stardust, truly.
