• editing, proofreading, indexing
• cover and inside page design
• typesetting and correction

So if you have an idea for a book, we can make it a reality. The team at Blackstaff has extensive experience of working on all kinds of books, including heavily illustrated coffee table hardbacks as well as more text-based histories. We can manage all stages of production, as well as publicity, marketing and sales.

We have worked with a number of organisations and companies, including Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Belfast Solicitors’ Association, Queen’s University Belfast, Belfast City Council, Manufacturing Northern Ireland and many more.

We have a flexible approach to each individual project, and we’d be delighted to talk to you about your ideas or answer any questions you may have.
