Questions about pricing
Most projects run three to six months from kickoff to launch, depending on length and the services you choose. Editing-only work moves faster; a full ghostwritten manuscript takes longer. You receive a dated schedule at the end of your consultation.
If work has not started, your payment is returned in full. Once your team is booked and writing has begun, deposits are non-refundable, but every package includes a set number of revisions so the work meets your expectations.
You do. Copyright stays in your name from the first draft onward, and you keep 100% of the royalties on every format we publish. We never take a share of your rights or your earnings.
Let’s bring your book to life
