Your Publishing Journey
1.Initial Enquiry
Every publishing journey begins with a conversation.
Tell us about your book, your goals, and where you are in the writing process. Whether you have a completed manuscript, an outline, or simply an idea, we begin by understanding your vision.
2. Manuscript Review
We assess the manuscript and discuss the most suitable publishing pathway.
This stage helps identify strengths, development opportunities, editing requirements, and the level of support needed to move the project forward.
3. Publishing Consultation
Together we create a tailored publishing plan.
We discuss timelines, editing requirements, design options, publication goals, distribution channels, and the steps needed to prepare your book for publication.
4. Editing & Development
Your manuscript is refined and prepared for publication.
Depending on the project, this may include developmental editing, structural editing, line editing, proofreading, and content refinement while preserving your authentic voice.
5. Design & Production
Your book begins to take its final form.
This stage includes professional interior formatting, cover design, eBooks preparation, and the creation of print-ready publishing files.
6. Publication & Distribution
Your book is published and made available to readers.
We assist with publishing setup, ISBN registration, platform preparation, and global distribution through major publishing channels.

About the Publisher
Founded by author Malaika Cohen, M&C Publishing House was created to support meaningful books exploring lived experience, human behaviour, resilience, awareness, and personal transformation.
Having experienced the publishing journey firsthand, Malaika established the imprint to create a home for books that encourage reflection, challenge assumptions, and contribute to greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
The publishing house brings together creative writing, personal narrative, behavioural awareness, and educational works that inspire growth, conversation, and lasting impact.
The Philosophy Behind M&C Publishing House
M&C Publishing House was created from a simple belief: meaningful stories deserve to be shared without losing their authentic voice.
As both an author and publisher, I understand the challenges involved in bringing a manuscript from idea to publication. Writing a book is more than producing pages—it is the process of giving form to experience, insight, knowledge, and personal truth.
Through my own work in memoir, personal transformation, behavioural awareness, and educational writing, I developed a publishing approach that values clarity, authenticity, professional standards, and respect for the author's voice.
Whether a project is a memoir, educational work, personal development book, or awareness-based publication, the goal remains the same: to help meaningful ideas reach the readers who need them.
