Two pens for every book: yours, which knows the story, and ours, which knows how to write it.
Free first consultationFrom manuscript to shelf, we handle every step.
Every listing needs a cover, a description, categories, keywords and prices for each market. We fill them in ourselves, on Amazon KDP and on StreetLib, and we back them with advertising. The catalogue, store by store
DualPen Books is an independent editorial studio: we write, edit and publish books, our own and our clients'.
Our collections are the proof of the craft: 40 technical manuals, a series published in 14 languages, a historical saga in ten novels, 265 published editions, produced end to end, from text to cover, from layout to store distribution.
For our clients we do exactly the same: we take your story, your expertise or your idea and turn it into a finished book, well written, published where it matters, in the language that matters.
Every book has its own team: writing and rewriting, historical and documentary research, interviews and transcriptions, professional double-reviewed translation in four languages, cover design, print and EPUB layout, store publishing and print on demand. All under one roof, with no handovers.
Your story, or your family's, gathered by voice and turned into a book to hand down.
You have the plot and the characters in mind but not the time or the pen: we put them on the page, in your voice.
Your expertise becomes a clear, structured, authoritative book that works for you.
The story of your company, or the book that positions you as the reference in your field.
You already have a text: we knock it into shape, from structure to single sentence.
Cover, print and EPUB layout, store upload, printing through partners. A single step or the whole journey.
Your book in Spanish, Italian, French and German; Portuguese and other European languages on request. Error-proof double-review pipeline.
A wedding, a graduation, an award, a meeting: the right words for the right moment, written for your voice.
Bibliographic research, revision, layout, cover. The writing stays yours: we give you the tools, not the shortcut.

The manuals of the Terra Vegan by Nemo series have faced the critics too: the baking teacher Sharmila Sengupta, from New Delhi, has written an article and a review on D10, and the critic Anthony Avina is reviewing the volumes of the English edition one by one.
Anthony Avina interviewed Armand Du Silence, the author of the saga «A Mari Usque Ad Mare», on 18 September 2026.
Read the interview
He works and writes across several literary genres and is a member of a network of professional biographers.
The technical pen: professional cooking, fermentation, regulations, business. Lab rigour, table language.
The novelist's pen: family sagas, trade and oceans, centuries of history told up close.
An editor of long standing, the pen of order: she turns scattered studies, notes and thoughts into finished books. Essays, texts of faith and thought, books that position those who sign them.
