Services
Manuscript Development
At whatever level you need, from ghostwriting to book coaching to content editing, we’ll make your manuscript shine.
How it works
This is an optional service designed to help you speed up and improve your writing process. Once we determine what solution works best for you, we’ll assign you a book coach, editor, or co-writer who fully undestands your project, tone of voice, and goals.
Outstanding Book Design
From the front and back cover to every page in between, your book will be crafted to enhance your writing and captivate your audience.
How it works
Every author is paired with a senior book designer to create a product that won’t go unnoticed. The meticulous cover design process starts with research and sketches and ends with a captivating cover that speaks to the potential readers. The flawless, professional interior design will make your content shine.
Marketing and Publicity
We’ll develop a tailored marketing plan to reach your target audience and support your personal and professional objectives. Plans may include bestseller status, publicity campaigns, or executive marketing campaigns.
How it works
Book marketing experts help develop a strategy that delivers results quickly and efficiently. You’ll have clear metrics and goals, along with a plan to achieve them, ensuring your book becomes a powerful tool that opens doors and generates opportunities.
Editing
Our editing team performs line and copy editing as well as a final proofread before publication, improving awkward sentences and correcting errors.
How it works
Editing is always included. Depending on the status of the initial manuscript, we may require a line edit to reach a final, solid draft. All final manuscripts will also be copyedited to address inconsistent or incorrect spelling, correct typos and formatting issues, and align grammar and punctuation with Chicago Manual of Style, 18th ed., guidelines. Lastly, once the book is laid out, an editor will proofread the final text. This extensive process ensures nothing is left unchecked.
Print, E-Book, and Audiobook Publishing and Distribution
You book, available wherever your readers are. Thanks to strategic distribution and availability, your book will be easy to find and consume the way your audience prefers.
How it works
The publication process is dialed in to meet your goals. Our wide range of options and flexible distribution allows us to customize the process so that your book shows up where it needs to be.
Publishing Books, Empowering Authors, Building Lasting Impact

You define success; we help you reach it.
Our approach is based on fiscal responsibility, ethics, transparency, and outcome achievement.
No fine prints.
We won’t try to sell you anything you don’t need. We work with each author to custom-design a package that will help you reach your publishing and branding goals.
A typical package, though, will run between $30,000 and $40,000, depending on your editing and marketing needs, and include all versions of the book, print paperback and hardback, e-book, and audiobook. Robust editorial and custom-designed marketing are our baseline and are included.
Coaching, ghostwriting, co-authoring, or more substantial manuscript development will be priced upon request, if needed.
