The Book Guild

The Book Guild An independent publisher delivering quality partnership and mainstream book publishing services. Submissions must therefore be commercial in nature.

An independent partnership and commercial publisher that publishes about 170 titles a year. We offer both traditional and partnership publishing, with all our titles being fully or co-funded by the company. We do not offer a self-publishing service, but authors may be asked to contribute to the publication of a book in some way, with the Book Guild funding the rest. The Book Guild has acquired a s

olid reputation for publishing books across all genres since its establishment over 35 years ago. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts in all genres for consideration. Submissions from agents are accepted but an agent is not essential, we accept author submissions direct. All submissions will first be considered for a traditional publishing model; if we do not feel that a manuscript is suitable for our traditional publishing programme, we will then consider it for some form of partnership publishing.

Damien Spur, charismatic thriller writer, is the rock star of the literary world. Yet behind his public façade lies a troubled soul, addicted to the devil's trinity: s*x, drugs, and alcohol.

When he meets ruthless beauty Lady Elizabeth Maitland, who wins a night with him at a charity auction, his life spirals out of control. Consumed by obsessive love and jealousy, Damien's descent culminates in a desperate act.

Saved from the brink by chance, he embarks on a journey of redemption. Amidst it all, The Voice, the wisecracking companion inside his head, guides him through the stormy seas of his existence.

A Night with Damien Spur is a romantic comedy tinged with darkness, delving into the tumultuous realm of unrequited love.
