FAQs

Everything authors ask us first

Short, honest answers about rights, timelines, confidentiality and cost.

Who owns the rights to my book?+

You do — completely. Every contract transfers 100% of the copyright and royalties to you. Our name never appears on your book unless you want it to.

How long does a full book take?+

A 40,000–60,000 word manuscript typically takes 10–16 weeks including editing. Shorter books and rush timelines can be accommodated; we confirm the schedule in writing before we start.

Will the book sound like me?+

That's the whole job. We begin with recorded interviews and sample chapters until the voice is right, and you approve every chapter before we move to the next.

Do you publish on Amazon and other stores?+

Yes. We handle Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and 40,000+ distribution channels, including print-on-demand paperback and hardcover.

What does it cost?+

Packages start at $1,499 and are quoted on word count, genre and services. You get a fixed price up front — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

Is my idea kept confidential?+

Always. Every team member signs an NDA, and we're happy to sign yours before you share a single page.

Can you help with a manuscript I've already written?+

Absolutely. Editing, proofreading, formatting and publishing are all available as standalone services for finished drafts.

Do you offer refunds?+

If you're not satisfied with the first deliverable, you can request a refund within seven days under our satisfaction guarantee.
