Welcome to Forward Thinking Press: A home for academics and professionals looking to turn their expertise and experience into strong non-fiction book
From research and experience to a book readers finish
Forward Thinking Press is a hybrid non fiction publisher for academics and professionals. We help you turn research, expertise, and lived experience into a clear, engaging book that builds real authority.
Ghostwriting or book coaching, rigorous editing, elegant book design, ISBN registration, and global distribution through print on demand and ebook retailers.
Publishing with Forward Thinking Press
We do not believe in “one size fits all”: the co-creation and publication of books, especially those as highly specialised as ours, is a highly individual process, and we work with our authors and clients to find the ideal approach while keeping pricing fully transparent.
Our hybrid publishing model lets us respond to each project in a flexible way: for books that combine top quality with clear market appeal, we publish as a partner title and share royalties; for many expert and niche projects, where the real value lies in reputation, speaking, teaching, and client work rather than pure book sales, we work with clear publishing fees so you keep full rights and income.
On top of that sit our co-creation services, from concept development and coaching to full ghostwriting, so every author receives exactly the mix of support and business model that fits their goals.
Publishing and Co-Creation with Forward Thinking Press
We publish and co-create non fiction books that grow out of real research and practice.
Academic non fiction and “science to public” books
These books turn peer reviewed research and complex theory into clear, keyword rich content on your topic, so you show up in searches and reach students, practitioners, and media on your subject.
Practice based handbooks and guides for professionals
Practice based handbooks turn your methods, tools, and case studies into a practical guide that teams, clients, and trainees rely on, positioning you as the trusted expert for that specific problem and solution.
Thought leadership books for experts, consultants, and entrepreneurs
Thought leadership books are built to attract ideal clients, secure speaking and media requests, and strengthen your personal brand as a recognised authority in your niche or industry.
How We Work
1. Clarify the book and the audience
In a structured call we define your core idea, target readers, positioning, and scope. The result is a concrete book concept and a clear outline.
2. Choose ghostwriting or coaching
You decide how you want to write
Ghostwriting: you supply input, we write the manuscript in your voice
Editing only: you already have the manuscript and only need (light) editing services.
Book coaching: you write, we guide chapter by chapter with feedback and structure
3. Edit for clarity and impact
Line and style editing, checks for logic and flow, and a final polish for language, references, and consistency. The goal is a book that feels both precise and readable.
4. Design and production
Interior layout for print and ebook, cover design aligned with your topic and brand, ISBN registration, and publication setup with print on demand and major ebook platforms.
5. Launch and long-term use
Your book is available worldwide, and you can use it for teaching, speaking, client work, and personal branding. You keep full rights and royalties.
