Build My Book PlanWhat a book actually does for a founder
A book is the one business card nobody throws away. It's the reason a cold prospect walks into the first meeting already trusting you, the credential that gets you on the stage and the podcast, the asset an investor keeps on their desk. Unlike an ad, it compounds — it works for you for a decade, in rooms you'll never be in. For a founder or executive, a book isn't vanity; it's the highest-leverage marketing and legacy asset you can own.
You don't write it — you talk
Here's the part that makes it possible for someone with no free time: you don't write a word. We interview you — usually four to six hours across a few sessions — and pull out the stories, frameworks and hard-won lessons you'd never think to sit down and type. Then we write the book in your voice, studying how you actually speak so readers hear you, not a generic ghostwriter. You review; we refine. Most founders are startled by how much it sounds like them.
Which book is yours?
- The authority book — your expertise, turned into the book that makes you the obvious choice in your field.
- The company book — your founding story and philosophy, as a trust-and-recruiting asset that sells for you.
- The legacy or memoir — your life and career captured properly, for the people and reputation that outlast the work.
Then we launch it
We don't just hand you a manuscript. We design the cover, publish it under your name (you keep 100% of the rights), and run the launch — reviews, positioning and press — so the book actually lands. You end up with the asset, not the homework.
What it costs & what's included
Founder and company books are quoted per project — typically from about $5,000 for a focused book up to $35,000+ for a full, researched flagship. We tailor the quote on your call.
A ghostwritten founder book usually takes about 3–6 months, from your first interview to a finished manuscript.

Letters from our authors.
What working with us felt like, in their own words.
Working with this team felt like a true partnership. They understood my vision and brought it to life with elegance and precision. I’m already planning my second book with them.
Working with Zeal Publishers made the publishing process far less intimidating than I expected. Mike Wolford took the time to understand my goals, answer my questions, and guide me through each step. I always felt that my book and my vision mattered.
