The offer
How it works
Four moving parts: the books (the unpublishables), a monthly magazine, a members’ room online, and nights out in the UK. Lean on purpose.
Books
We bring titles to market through Amazon KDP with professional editing, proofreading, cover and interior design, and setup. Widely available; club subscribers get 20–30% off through our site and app.
Monthly magazine
Long essays from contrarian writers on live rows — the sort of piece that rarely survives a corporate risk committee.
App & community
Forums, personalised picks, and virtual Q&As. Built so membership feels like a room of deplorables with taste, not another forgotten login.
Author events
Monthly UK meet-ups — Edinburgh cafés, Manchester rooms, Oxfordshire pubs and beyond. Authors debate and sign over drinks. Tickets typically £15–25, with subscriber perks. Virtual options as we scale.
Author onboarding
A simple submissions portal. We provide IT help, sub-editing, design, and Amazon setup — aiming for a 4–6 week turnaround from acceptance. Solo writers become a cohort with shared promotion.
Authors pitching an unpublishable: email myone_ie@hotmail.co.uk.
Lean by design
Bootstrapped: founder as curator, freelance editors and designers, part-time event coordination. Tools grow with revenue — not the other way round.
