Our publishing specialisms
Your Book Is Your Business Card
Demonstrate your thought leadership
We specialise in helping you demonstrate your thought leadership by supporting you to create and publish your own book. We call it a “book as a business card” but your book is more memorable than a business card and more impactful than a leaflet.
Whether this is your first step into writing or if you are an experienced author, we help you to plan your book. We ensure you give enough information to get the reader interested in your expertise without giving away all of your magic! With over 60 years of experience in our team of owning business, we proofread and challenge you to give your book the finesse and final touches you will be proud of.
We look at your business and ensure that your book, website and social media streams match in terms of branding and that the messaging in your business matches your book. Whilst selling the book is your role, we cheerlead your book and promote it and launch it our social media channels.
We are here as a mentor to help you to use your book to support your wider business.
Inspirational Personal Stories
Bringing Inspirational Personal Stories To Life
Many of our authors have shared their personal story in their book and we support and mentor each client through the process.

Collaboration or compilation books
What is a collaboration or compilation book?
A collaboration book is a book that has several authors. It can also be called a compilation book. Typically there is one lead cordinator who project manages the book. Each author writes a section, or a chapter in the book and the book can be published and placed on Amazon with all of the authors recognised for their contribution.
We have a lot of experience in bringing together books from multiple authors in to one publication.

What do our authors say?
From our very first conversation, Nicky encouraged me to believe that my book could become everything I hoped it would be. I arrived with an idea, a vision and plenty of questions, and she listened deeply, understanding not only what I wanted to create, but the difference I hoped it would make in the lives of the leaders who would read it.
One comment from that very first meeting has stayed with me throughout the journey. Nicky said she could see the book becoming a guide for future women leaders. That was, and still is, my dream. The fact that she saw that potential so early gave me confidence, belief and a real sense that my book was in safe hands.
The publishing journey felt seamless from start to finish. There was always a clear pathway, with each stage carefully explained, making what could have felt overwhelming both manageable and enjoyable. Nicky and her team were incredibly patient and supportive as I worked my way through the many decisions involved in bringing a book to life.
Together we worked towards my goal of publishing Dive Deep to Rise Higher for International Women’s Day, and throughout the inevitable highs and lows of writing a book, I always felt encouraged, supported and in safe hands. From editing and formatting to cover design, proofreading and the finishing touches, the care, professionalism and attention to detail from the whole team were exceptional.
I absolutely love the finished result. The cover captures exactly what I had hoped for, the quality of the book is beautiful, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve created together.
A huge thank you to Nicky and the entire Discover Your Bounce Publishing team for your encouragement, expertise and, when needed, the gentle hand-holding that kept me going. If you’re looking for a publishing partner who combines professionalism with genuine care and encouragement, I couldn’t recommend Discover Your Bounce Publishing more highly.
Terri McNerney, Author of Amazon Bestselling Book
Dive Deep to Rise Higher – Realign with Purpose, Power and Presence
Having worked with Nicky on the development and writing of my book, I was delighted to continue with the Discover Your Bounce team for publication – I already knew how supportive they were, and it felt like working with a trusted friend. They’re a small but mighty team who genuinely care about publishing and helping authors realise their dreams. Passionate, knowledgeable, and calming – which might sound like a strange thing to say, but navigating the different stages of publishing can be stressful, especially the first time, and they were a steadying influence throughout. They provided great resources and answered every question quickly and thoroughly. I’m already looking forward to doing it all again when my second book is ready. I’d recommend them to any first-time author who wants expert guidance without the overwhelm, as well as more experienced authors looking for a publisher who listens and takes real care in bringing a book to publication.

Nicky Marshall
Author. Speaker. Mentor.
Nicky is an award-winning, international speaker and best-selling author. She is also a mum, nan and wife and loves nothing more than family time.
On the 26th of July 2010, Nicky suffered a stroke as a result of a scuba diving accident. She lost the use of most of the left side of her body, her speech and memory were affected and she was unable to drive her manual car to the three month old business she had created. She had four growing up teenagers at home and Nicky wondered how she was going to carry on.
Nicky’s background is holistic therapy and stress management and with A levels in Anatomy & Physiology she had all the tools she needed for recovery, so she set out on an epic bounce back journey with no idea if she would succeed.
Three years later Nicky was fit, 100% recovered, able to dive again and ready to sell the business that she thought she would have to wind up in 2010.
