Who we are

Founded in the heart of Cork, Tome Infusion was born from a deep love of the written word and a belief that every author deserves professional support. Our name reflects our mission: to infuse each tome with quality, creativity, and care that elevates it beyond the ordinary.

We work with first-time authors, seasoned writers, academic researchers, and businesses alike. Whether you need developmental editing for a novel, interior layout for a non-fiction guide, or full-service publishing consultation, our experienced team brings decades of combined expertise in the Irish and international book markets.

Our studio on Barrack Street in Cork city is a welcoming space where creativity thrives. We invite local authors to visit us for in-person consultations, though we also serve clients remotely throughout Ireland and beyond. Every project we undertake receives personalised attention because we believe that no two books — and no two authors — are the same.

Our book services

Comprehensive support at every stage of your book's journey, from the first draft to the final printed page.

Manuscript editing

Our editing services span developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading. We refine your narrative structure, strengthen your prose, correct grammar and punctuation, and ensure consistency throughout. Each round of editing includes detailed feedback and tracked changes so you remain in full creative control.

Book formatting and layout

Professional interior design makes a book a pleasure to read. We handle typography selection, chapter headings, margins, page numbering, image placement, and table of contents formatting for both print and digital editions. Our layouts meet the specifications of all major print-on-demand and traditional printers.

Our consultants help with query letters, book proposals, ISBN registration, distributor selection, and launch strategy tailored to the Irish and UK markets.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions from our authors.

How long does a typical editing project take?

Turnaround depends on the manuscript length and the level of editing required. A standard copy edit of a 70,000-word novel typically takes two to three weeks. Developmental editing may take four to six weeks. We always provide an estimated timeline in your proposal before work begins.

Do you work with authors outside Ireland?

Absolutely. While our studio is based in Cork, we collaborate with authors across the UK, Europe, North America, and beyond. All communication, file sharing, and feedback happen seamlessly through our online project portal and video calls.

What file formats do you accept for manuscripts?

We accept Microsoft Word (.docx), Google Docs, Scrivener exports, and plain text files. For cover design projects, we can work with your existing artwork in PSD, AI, or high-resolution image formats. If you are unsure, just send us what you have and we will advise.

How much do your services cost?

Pricing varies based on project scope, word count, and complexity. We offer competitive rates benchmarked to Irish industry standards. Every project begins with a free consultation and a no-obligation quote, so you know exactly what to expect before committing.

Can you help me self-publish on Amazon and other platforms?

Yes, we provide full self-publishing support. This includes account setup on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, and Kobo. We handle metadata entry, category selection, keyword optimisation, and pricing strategy to give your book the best chance of reaching its target readers.
