The Book Typesetters Reviews 

A five star service from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble for the The Book Typesetters, whose prompt and efficient service produced a book design for 'KEEPING CHURCHILL ALIVE' which far exceeded our lofty expectations. A pleasure to work with and worth every penny.

It has been a real pleasure for me to work with Nat & Rachael (The Book Typesetters) on more than one collection. Their professionalism—the quality of their work, their efficiency and the clarity of their guidance —is always first rate. In addition, and importantly, their manner is most welcoming. Many thanks.

A superb, professional service, with exceptional attention to detail.

Nat and Rachael typeset books published by the wonderful Shoestring Press, founded and edited by John Lucas. As one of John's poets, I appreciate their kindness and efficiency, and their beautiful, elegant, typesetting - not least for my forthcoming collection. Thank you!

Oh my goodness... the best support and service - they totally held my hand through the process and were so reassuring and professional. Will recommend to everyone!

Nat & Rachael give help, support and confidence in getting your book published. They are friendly and are available to contact at any time. Thank you Nat & Rachael.

Nat and Rachel were highly professional from day one! Not only did they do a fantastic job on the typesetting of my project but they were patient and kind with communication and revisions. If you are thinking about hiring a typesetter for ANYTHING look no further than here!

Superlative service, admirable expertise, and excellent in every way. Kind, considerate, thoughtful and most helpful too.

Nat and Rachael have a wealth of experience and have an answer to every question that I raised about the design of my book. They gave me good advice about cover image and layout and were unfailingly patient when I presented a few problems during the final proof-reading stage. I felt very confident to be working with them!

We are most grateful for the expertise that has guided our large, complex book, A Long Directory of Imaginary Countries, to completion. The Ravenlocks’ helpfulness, accommodation and forbearance in handling all the minutiae has indeed been very reassuring and exemplary.

Rachael and Nat Ravenlock (The Book Typesetters) created the cover and typesetting for my book Robbie and Alice – a Tudor adventure (published 2021). From the very start of the process, Rachael and Nat were easy to work with. They were quick to create book–cover artwork that gives out, what I feel, is a most sensitive understanding of my book’s tone and direction. The book’s interior look that they created, compliments the cover-work; the cover itself, most definitely entices potential readers to begin the book’s Tudor adventure. I am happy to recommend them; I would be very happy to work with them again.

Wonderful experience working with Rachael and Nat. They produced my poetry collection for Shoestring Press. They are friendly and approachable, very responsive with great attention to detail. I am utterly delighted with the quality of the production of my book.

I had the opportunity to consult with Nat and Rachael for typesetting my nonfiction anthology, "Behind the Curtain." Although I ultimately chose a different typesetter, the care, attention, and professionalism from both were unparalleled.

They provided a comprehensive quote and a meticulous typesetting sample, both tailored to the needs of my project. Their thoughtful advice extended beyond just typesetting—offering insights into layout, pull quotes, and even the design of my website.

What impressed me most was their commitment to quality and reader experience. They took the time to understand the essence of my project, advising against unnecessary additions like stock images, to preserve its integrity. Their transparent approach to services, including eBook conversion and printing options, was incredibly helpful.

For anyone seeking attentive, detail-oriented typesetting services, Nat and Rachael come highly recommended. Their expertise and customer service are second to none.

What started out as an idea was brought to life by this company. An unusual book, as it needed to be printed upside down and used all the professional prowess of the Book Typesetters team. Will use them again with my next book.

Working with The Book Typesetters was a dream of an experience. Rachael and Nat work to the highest standards, with a terrific feeling for design and a close attention to detail. The project we were working on had a strict deadline. Rachael and Nat adjusted to that quite brilliantly. Queries and requests for adjustments were always dealt with speedily and accurately. And always there was a sense that I was dealing with human beings with a genuine concern for the aims and objectives of the task in hand. It goes without saying that I'm delighted with the finished article, in the shape of the book in question. Everyone who's seen it has been deeply impressed.

I would recommend The Book Typesetters to absolutely anyone, whatever the scale and significance of their project.

Nat worked to a high standard to design the book cover and typeset the manuscript, and took on the various amendments recommended by the proofreader with professionalism and patience. I highly recommend his services.

I cannot praise Rachael and Nat enough for their help in bringing my debut novel to life. Working with them was an absolute pleasure. They took my idea for the cover and turned it into something far beyond my expectations and for that I'll be forever grateful. I would highly recommend their services. They are professional, knowledgeable, down to earth, so easy to work with and incredibly patient (since this was my first time and I had no idea what I was doing). I cannot wait to work with them again in the future.

Nat and Rachael Ravenlock of The Book Typesetters provided a superb service in the production of my novel, 'Radio Therapy', and I was delighted with their work. They were responsive to my ideas for the book's cover art and were able to transform those ideas into a cover that I'm very pleased with. When I do get around to finishing the next book, I'll be in contact with Nat and Rachael to help me once again.

Rachael and Nat are an amazing team. Nothing is too much trouble. They have crafted the covers and provided the typesetting for all three of my books: Needing Napoleon, Serving Shaka and Rescuing Richard. They are enthusiastic, skilful and great fun to work with - a perfect pair! I cannot imagine working with anyone else as my writing career progresses.

I've worked on two volumes of 'A Gay Century' with the book typesetters and they have always been patient, painstaking and accurate. These stories are in verse, so they have to be very carefully set and proofed. Delighted with the results.
