How much does it cost to publish a book?
If your manuscript is finished, done-for-you publishing is quoted after a free 15-minute call. If the book still needs writing, ghostwriting is quoted per project — typically $5,000 for a short book up to $35,000+ for a full founder book.
What's included in Basic Publishing?
Professional cover design, interior formatting for print and ebook, Amazon KDP publishing and setup, ISBN assignment, and proof review.
How long does it take?
With a finished manuscript, most first-time authors go from manuscript to published in about 8–12 weeks. A ghostwritten book usually takes 3–6 months.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The package prices are fixed. Anything quoted as a range — ghostwriting, audiobook, illustration — is genuinely per-project, and we give you a firm number on the call before you commit to anything.
