Practical tools for one good act
It starts with one.
One positive act, done today for yourself or someone else, spreads further than you'd think. We make the tools that make that first act easy to start.
Out now: In Good Order: The UK Legacy Organiser. One evening. Ripples for years.
The idea
Drop a pebble in still water and the ripples keep going.
The act
Something small and practical you can do today. Tools, not advice: you do the act, and we make it simple to start.
One evening writing down what you have, where it's kept and what you'd want.
The first ripple
The people closest to you feel the difference first.
Your family knows where everything is. Your executor knows where to start.
The wider ripple
Then it travels on, further than you'll see.
Your children see it done, and one day they do the same for theirs.
Paperback and hardback editions. Same book inside.

About Start the Ripples
Small acts. Wide circles.
Start the Ripples is an independent UK publisher. We make practical tools that turn a good intention into one act today, so the benefit spreads to the people around you. In Good Order is our first series. More tools for learning and for work are on the way.
Everything we make passes three questions
- Does it make one positive act easy to start today?
- Does someone other than the buyer benefit?
- Is it a tool you use yourself, rather than advice we give?
