Questions

The things people ask before they commit

How much does it cost to write and publish a book?

It depends on what you need. Publishing a finished manuscript — editing, cover, typesetting and distribution — typically starts around £1,450. A full ghostwriting project including publication usually falls between £6,000 and £12,000 depending on length and genre. Our cost calculator gives you a realistic figure in your own currency in about thirty seconds, and every quote we issue is fixed and milestone-based.

How long does the whole process take?

From a finished manuscript to a book on sale is typically eight to twelve weeks. A ghostwritten book from first call to publication runs six to nine months. You receive a dated schedule before you commit anything, and weekly progress updates throughout.

Do I keep the rights and the royalties?

Yes — all of both. Copyright assigns to you in writing, your name goes on the cover, retailer accounts are set up in your name and royalties are paid directly to you. We are paid once, for the work. We never take a percentage of your sales.

Do you work with authors outside the UK?

Constantly. We are a London-registered company working with authors across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Africa. Consultations are scheduled in your time zone, quotes are issued in your currency, and books are distributed to every market Amazon and Ingram serve.

Can I speak to the writer before committing?

Yes, and you should. We shortlist writers published in your genre, share their samples, and arrange a call with your preferred choice before any contract is signed. If the chemistry is not right, we shortlist again.
