Questions before you begin
Plans & Pricing FAQs
Do these plans have fixed prices?
No public prices are listed because projects can differ substantially. After discussing your goals and requirements, we provide a scope and fee for your review before any work begins.
Can I book a single service instead of a plan?
Yes. You can enquire about an individual service such as proofreading, cover design, KDP setup, ghostwriting or author website design. A broader plan is optional.
Do I need a finished manuscript?
No. We can discuss concept development, a manuscript assessment, a book proposal or writing support. The right starting point depends on how developed your idea is.
Can I combine publishing and author SEO?
Yes. Publishing and author-website growth can be planned together, but SEO is ongoing work and cannot guarantee particular rankings, traffic levels or AI citations.
Will I retain ownership of my book?
Ownership and rights should be defined in your written agreement. Review the agreed terms for original writing, edits, design assets, third-party materials and any licences before work starts.
Can you help with Amazon KDP and other formats?
We can discuss KDP setup and the requirements for ebook, paperback, hardcover or audiobook production, depending on your project. Each format has its own specifications and deliverables.
How long will a project take?
Timing depends on manuscript length, the services selected, feedback turnaround, revisions and external platform requirements. A realistic schedule is agreed as part of the project scope.
Does a consultation commit me to buying a plan?
No. The consultation is for understanding your needs and discussing suitable options. Work begins only after you agree to the proposed scope and terms.
Your project. Your priorities.
