ask us.
Clear answers about editing, publishing, rights and costs.
Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes. You keep full ownership of your work and your royalties. We help you publish under your own name and accounts.
My manuscript isn't finished yet. Can you still help?
Absolutely. We can advise on structure and planning while you write, then step in with editing once your draft is ready.
What kinds of editing do you offer?
Developmental editing (story and structure), line editing (style and flow), copy editing (grammar and consistency) and a final proofread.
How much does publishing cost?
It depends on your page count, the level of editing and the services you choose. Use our Cost Calculator for an estimate; we confirm a final quote after a free consultation.

Timelines depend on your manuscript's length and the services involved. We agree a schedule with you before work begins.
Which platforms do you publish on?
We prepare and publish on Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, which together reach online retailers, bookstores and libraries worldwide.
Can you publish paperback, hardcover and eBook versions?
Yes. We format one manuscript for every format, meeting each platform’s technical requirements.
Do you help with ISBNs and copyright?
We guide you through getting an ISBN and registering copyright so your rights are properly documented.
Will you design my book cover?
Yes. Our designers create genre-aware covers that look great on a shelf and as a small online thumbnail.
Do you help market my book after launch?
We offer launch planning, reader outreach, promotional graphics and ongoing marketing support tailored to your budget.
