Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? The best way to get them answered is by booking a strategy call with one of our publishing strategists.

Schedule a Consult

I’ve read that you provide some “Done for You” services. What does that include?

We design your cover, get you an ISBN, format your book, and publish it to Amazon for you. These are things other companies charge thousands of dollars extra for, and they become roadblocks to getting your books in readers’ hands. Our goal is to give you all the best features of traditional publishing while allowing you to maintain 100% of the rights, royalties, and creative freedom you typically give up with a traditional publisher.

Do you help me even if my book is already written?

Yes! We have several programs designed to serve authors with different needs, coming to us at different phases of their journey.

Are you a publishing house?

No, and this is the best part! We self-publish your book for you, giving you the best of both worlds. We do the work of a traditional publishing house, but you maintain 100% of the rights, royalties, and all of the other benefits of self-publishing.

Do I have to book a call in order to get started?

Yes. Part of our enrollment process includes a 1-hour call with a publishing strategist to make sure you’re a good fit for us, we’re a good fit for you, and to get you started in the right program and with the right coach to fit your needs.

Do you take royalties from my published book?

Absolutely not. You keep 100% of the profits you make from your book royalties.

Do you offer payment plans for your programs?

Yes. Programs can be purchased in full or paid over time.
