The idea
A publishing home for your writing.
The TBG Print Shop is a way for other writers to get their work printed and properly published — through The Bulletproof Goth, without having to wrestle with self-publishing platforms themselves. You bring the manuscript; we handle turning it into a real book that people can hold and buy.
It grew out of publishing TBG's own books, like I Can't Cook. The same print-on-demand approach that put that on shelves is now being opened up, so other people's writing can travel the same road.
What you can publish
If it's written, it can be printed.
Books & novels
Full-length fiction and non-fiction, novellas, memoir — a finished manuscript made into a proper paperback.
Poetry & short works
Collections, chapbooks, essays and zines — smaller works that still deserve to exist as a real, printed object.
Guides & personal projects
Workbooks, handbooks, family histories, one-off keepsakes — writing meant for a specific few, or for the world.
How it works
From manuscript to printed book.
01
Submit your work
Send us your manuscript and what you have in mind. We'll talk through what it needs and what's involved.
02
We prepare it
Your work is set up for print — interior and cover made ready — and the terms are agreed with you first.
03
Published on demand
It's published as a print-on-demand title: each copy printed to order, so nothing is warehoused or wasted.
04
Available to buy
Your book becomes a real, purchasable title — printed and shipped to readers as orders come in.
Also coming
The art side of the shop.
Alongside publishing, the Print Shop will grow a separate strand for TBG's own art and craft work — prints, originals, and resin pieces. That part is being built once the publishing side is running, and will live here too when it's ready.
