FAQ
Common Questions
Still unsure? Send us a message, no pressure and no jargon.
Can you ghostwrite my book?
Yes. We work with you through interviews and drafts so the book sounds like you, and you review and approve every chapter.
What is the difference between self-publishing and traditional publishing?
In traditional publishing, a publisher acquires rights to your book and handles production and distribution. In self-publishing you commission the work yourself and publish under your own name or imprint. We support authors who want to self-publish and keep control.
Do I need my own ISBN?
Some platforms offer a free ISBN, but it usually lists the platform as the publisher and cannot be used elsewhere. Owning your ISBN keeps you as the publisher of record and lets you distribute anywhere.
Where will my book be sold?
We set up distribution through Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Kobo and Apple Books. That makes your book available online and orderable by bookstores and libraries, though shelf placement is up to each retailer.
How long does it take to publish a book?
From a finished manuscript to launch usually takes a few months. Ghostwriting a new book takes longer. Timelines depend on manuscript readiness and the depth of editing.
How much does it cost?
It depends on your book’s length and the services you choose. Use the price calculator above for an instant estimate, or pick a ready-made package. After a free look at your manuscript you receive a clear, fixed quote.
Can I choose only the services I need?
Yes. Every service can be bought on its own, for example editing only, or a cover and interior for a book you have already written. Combining five or more services saves 10%.
What does ghostwriting cost?
Ghostwriting is priced per word, from $0.25 to $0.35 depending on the type of book. A 50,000-word business book, roughly 200 pages, is about $15,000. Developmental editing is included; copyediting and proofreading are added separately.
Are ISBN and copyright fees included?
The ISBN service covers getting your own ISBN, barcode and metadata set up correctly. Government copyright filing fees are paid at cost and are not included in the estimate: $45 online in the US and CAD $65 online in Canada.
Can you help me promote the book and build my authority?
Yes. We can plan your launch, build your author website and pursue media coverage. See our Media Features & Press and Authority Building services.
