A clear process, with you in control at every stage
You approve before we proceed. Every time. No stage begins until you have signed off the one before it.
Free consultation
A 45-minute call about the book, the reader and what you want it to achieve. You leave with a realistic timeline and a fixed price — whether or not you go ahead.
Free sample
We write or edit 1,500 words of your actual book so you can judge the work rather than the promises.
Proposal and agreement
A fixed price, a dated schedule and a mutual NDA. Milestone-based payments, so you never pay far ahead of delivery.
Outline and approval
Your writer builds a chapter-by-chapter plan. Nothing is drafted until you have approved the shape.
Writing and review
Work arrives in batches with a review window on each. Your notes shape what comes next.
Edit, design and typeset
Editing, cover design and typesetting run in parallel once the manuscript is settled.
Publication
Accounts set up in your name, metadata researched, proof approved, title live worldwide.
Launch and beyond
Launch campaign, reviews and ads if you want them — plus a book you own outright either way.
The things that actually matter when you are trusting someone with your book
Free sample before you commit
We write or edit 1,500 words of your actual book before you pay anything. You judge the work, not the sales pitch.
You keep every right and every royalty
Copyright assigns to you in writing. Retailer accounts are in your name. We never take a percentage of your sales.
A mutual NDA, signed first
Confidentiality is agreed before we read a word of your material — not after you have paid a deposit.
Fixed prices against milestones
You see the whole figure in your own currency before you commit, and you pay as work is delivered.
Writers matched to your genre
We shortlist writers who have published in your category and share their samples. You choose the person.
One team, first call to launch
The same project manager throughout. No handoffs to a different department at every stage.
What authors say afterwards
I came with eleven years of workshop notes and no idea how to make a book out of them. The outline stage alone was worth the fee — it was the first time I could see the shape of what I actually knew. The finished book reads like me on a good day.
I had three self-published titles that were not selling. They showed me my covers side by side with the top forty in my category at thumbnail size and I understood the problem in about four seconds. New covers, re-optimised listings, and the back catalogue started moving.
Writing about my mother's illness was not something I could do alone. The interviews were handled with real care, and they were clear from the start about what would be in the book and what would not. My family have all read it. That matters more than sales.
