The full Author Services suite.
Every service is delivered by experienced publishing professionals — not templates, not AI, not offshore contractors.
Ghostwriting
You bring the expertise, knowledge, and story. We write it. Your voice, your ideas — professionally crafted into a compelling, publishable manuscript.
Developmental editing
Big-picture feedback on structure, flow, clarity, and argument. For manuscripts that need more than a proofread — they need a real editorial perspective.
Copy editing & proofreading
Line-by-line review for grammar, consistency, style, and errors. The last set of professional eyes your manuscript needs before it goes to print.
Typesetting & layout
Professional interior layout that makes your book look like it belongs in any bookstore. Every chapter head, margin, and line perfectly set for print.
Cover design
Your cover is your first impression. Our designers create covers that stop browsers and communicate exactly what your book is — and who it's for.
- $99/hour
Print & distribution
When your manuscript is ready, we print it. 48-hour turnaround, free shipping on 100+ books, and 100% of your profits — no royalty splits.
