About Authors & Co
Authors & Co is a hybrid publishing company founded by Abigail Horne in 2017. We specialise in nonfiction books for founders, leaders and experts, and have worked with over 700 authors across 50+ countries. Our work sits at the point where editorial expertise meets business strategy – we help people who have something important to say to say it in a way that lasts.
Meet The Founder.
Abigail has spent her career helping people take their ideas seriously – and guiding them through the responsibility of turning those ideas into books. Having authored multiple bestsellers herself, she understands firsthand how exposed and uncertain the publishing process can feel, even for experienced authors.
Over the past decade, Abigail has worked closely with more than 700 authors across 50+ countries, not just to publish books, but to create publishing experiences that feel clear, supportive, and well held. Her approach is grounded in a simple belief that how a book is made matters just as much as the book itself.
As the founder of With Authors & Co, Abigail leads a carefully assembled team of editors, designers, and publishing specialists. Together, they’ve built a hybrid publishing model that combines high editorial standards with a deeply human, collaborative process – one designed to remove confusion, protect confidence, and honour the work at every stage.
Beyond publishing, Abigail is committed to using her work for wider impact. Through philanthropic initiatives, she has raised tens of thousands for charitable causes, and through her broader business work, she has supported more than 10,000 entrepreneurs in bringing thoughtful, meaningful projects to life.
Abigail’s work has been recognised by leading publications and industry platforms, but what matters most to her is that authors leave her process feeling respected, clearer than when they began, and proud of the work they’ve finished.
A Proven Track Record of Excellence
Abigail brings steady judgment and strategic insight to each project, informed by years of experience across publishing and entrepreneurship.

We know first hand how much a book has the power to transform your professional trajectory, positioning you as the go-to expert in your field and opening doors you never imagined.

– Generate consistent media attention
– Position themselves as industry leaders
– Create additional revenue streams through their books

I had the best experience from start to finish with Authors & Co.
publishing my book “Boss Your New Small Business” AND it became a #1 bestseller on day one which was incredible!
There was help with everything from the original idea, the chapter formation, editing, formatting, the book cover design, and then the final part, which was the most nerve racking for me… the actual book launch!
It really was a dream come true to have my name in print, and something out in the world that I can always refer to and proudly stand behind.
I wouldn’t have reached & got over the final line without them – so a huge thank you to Abi and her incredible team at Authors and Co.
The entire team were patient, professional and encouraging.
Writing a book is tough, and writing a book with ADHD seemed impossible at times, which is why I know there is no way I would now have my bestselling book Square Pegs – A Book of discovery for women with ADHD, on Amazon if it wasn’t for the support I had from beginning to end from the team at Authors & Co.
They kept me going when I wanted to quit.
Thank you all so much! I am thrilled with the outcome and the feedback I have had from readers.
I have another 4 in my head and will be back for more!
I highly recommend Authors & Co.
I have had the most amazing journey with Authors and Co. Abigail and her team have guided me through the process of writing my book and ensured I felt held and supported throughout. From the editing through to the cover design and typesetting – they have everything covered to create a highly professional end product.
My book Neurosensory Divergence: Autistic Languages is more than just a book – it is my heartfelt mission to change the autism narrative to be more ND-affirming and Abigail’s own story about leaving a legacy resonated so much. I felt my mission was safe in their hands and my hugely successful launch and no # 1 bestselling book is testament to the team’s hard work & dedication.
