ISBN, ASIN & Barcodes
Every distinct edition requires its own ISBN. For Kindle-only eBooks, Amazon provides an ASIN. We recommend you register the ISBN in your name so you are the publisher of record; we handle the procurement and registration for you using your details.
Barcodes are required for bookstores and wholesalers. Amazon can generate them automatically, but we provide official, high-quality barcodes integrated into your back cover design as part of our service.
Process & Timelines
The workflow follows: Concept → Outline → Manuscript → Editing → Design → ISBN/Metadata → Proof Approval → Upload → Live. We provide milestones and weekly updates throughout the journey.
Typical timelines: Guided Authoring (~12 weeks) and Ghostwriting (~9 weeks for manuscript + 3 weeks for design & publishing). Timelines vary based on length and responsiveness.
Each plan includes defined revision rounds for manuscript edits, copyedits, and designs. Major rewrites after approval are billed separately, but we ensure total satisfaction before going live.
Distribution & Royalties
On Amazon, authors typically receive 70% for eBooks and 60% for paperbacks (minus printing costs). Since we publish via your accounts, royalties are paid directly to you by the platforms.
