Frequently Asked Questions
Blank
What services are included in the publishing packages?
Each package includes professional proofreading, cover design, interior formatting, ISBN registration, and distribution setup. We also include basic marketing support, author calls, and more.
How long does the publishing process take?
Publishing timelines vary based on the service package you choose. On average, expect the full process to take 6-12 months from the signed agreement to your book release.
Do you accept every manuscript?
We review every submission carefully. While we strive to work with as many authors as possible, we only accept projects that align with our editorial standards and publishing mission.
Can I submit a book that's already been published elsewhere?
Yes, if you own the rights to your work, we can assist with re-publishing or creating a new edition.
Will I own the rights to my book?
Yes! You retain 100% ownership of your copyright. We are a publishing services company, meaning you maintain full control over your work.
What is the payment schedule?
The first payment is due at contract signing, with the remaining balance split into installments based on a 3-payment method or a 12-month payment process. The client is responsible for processing fees, which are built into the payment plan price. We'll provide a detailed agreement up front.
Can I customize a package or add extra services?
Absolutely. We offer à la carte services and can customize a plan to fit your specific needs and goals.
Will my book be available in bookstores?
Your book will be available for order through major online retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Brick-and-mortar store placement is not guaranteed, but can be pursued by the author and publisher.
Do you help with marketing and book promotion?
Yes! We include marketing basics such as social media templates, press release writing, and launch strategy sessions.
What happens if I need to make changes after publishing?
Minor revisions (like fixing typos) can be made for a small update fee. Significant changes (like a new edition) would require a new contract and timeline.
What if I don't know where to start?
No problem-that's what we're here for! Whether you have a finished manuscript or just an idea, we'll walk you through each step and help you build a clear plan.
Is it okay if my manuscript isn't finished yet?
Yes! In fact, we love getting involved early. We love coaching, connect you with editors for developmental editing, and offer strategy sessions to help you cross the finish line with confidence.
I'm nervous about publishing. Is that normal?
Completely normal-and honestly, it shows you care about your work. We're here to make the process as smooth (and exciting!) as possible so you can feel proud every step of the way.
Will I get a say in the final product?
Absolutely. Your vision matters. We collaborate with you on everything from cover design to editing decisions so the final book truly feels like yours.
Can I talk to someone before committing?
Of course! We start with a discovery call! Bring your questions, your doubts, and your dreams-we're happy to chat and see if we're the right fit for you.
