A finished book is really six jobs, not one. Take all six as a single package — or any one on its own. Every price is printed next to it.
What we offer
Six author services, from idea to launch day.
A finished book on Amazon is the result of six different jobs, not one. Take all six as a single contract, or any one on its own — the price is printed next to each.

The industry data
The case isn’t our opinion — it’s in the data.
The argument for fee-for-service publishing sits in figures published by industry bodies with no commercial interest in selling author services. Three sources matter most.
Authors Guild
Fair Contracts
On hybrid contracts
The oldest professional writers’ organization in the US runs a Fair Contract Initiative focused on the terms most often blurred in rights-share arrangements: transparency, royalty fairness, limited-term agreements.

Frequently asked questions
Do I keep the rights to my book?
Always. You remain the sole author and keep 100% of your rights and royalties. Unlike traditional or vanity presses, we never take a share of your work or your earnings.
Whose name are the accounts in?
Yours. Every retailer account — Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo and Google Play — is opened in your name, so you keep full control and every royalty is paid directly to you.
How is this different from a hybrid publisher?
Hybrid and vanity presses charge you and then take ongoing royalties or own your ISBN. We charge a transparent flat fee, take zero royalties, and set everything up in your name.
How much does it cost?
Every price is published up front — no hidden fees and no "custom quote" games. Start from a service price, build your own package, or run the cost calculator for an instant estimate.
How long until my book is live?
Once your files are ready, most books are live on every major retailer within 30 days. After your consultation we give you a clear timeline with milestones.
