Military Publishing

At TypeStart Crest, military publishing isn’t just a service, it’s a responsibility we take seriously. With years of experience in supporting regiments, military historians, and veteran authors, we’ve developed an in-depth understanding of the military community’s publishing needs and the prestigious values the historic institution upholds.

Whether it’s a memoir, regimental journal, commemorative volume, or historical account, we know how to present service with dignity.

Printed With Purpose Bound By Tradition

Our mission is to support diverse voices across the Forces, with a strong focus on print excellence, underpinned by a deep appreciation and understanding of the military culture. From rank structures and ceremonial detail to regimental traditions and privacy expectations, our team understands the nuances that matter. This familiarity ensures every project is treated with authenticity and respect.

We have a deep connection with military culture and that allows us to create high quality publications that truly resonate. 

Publications

We’re proud to have worked with esteemed institutions including the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, The Sandhurst Trust, and The Rifles RHQ. Our publications, such as The Wish Stream and They Also Served, reflect the heritage and excellence of these organisations. We’ve supported The Rifles since 2007, most recently delivering their Spring 2025 edition of The Bugle to a high design and print standard.
