‘I was recommended York Publishing Services by a friend at my creative writing group and I couldn’t have been happier about it.
YPS have recently published two anthologies of pieces I have written over the past ten years or so. This has been a legacy/vanity project for me, largely aimed at family and friends, and I have been delighted with both the process and the resulting publications.
Everyone at YPS has been friendly, efficient and supportive, answering emails promptly and always happy to help. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone taking their first tentative step towards self-publishing.’ - Gwyneth Law

YPS - a trusted name in self publishing for over thirty years
