Publishing FAQs

How long does it take to have my book published?

The publication of your book can take anywhere from 72 hours (providing your book is 100% ready to go upon submission) to 60 days (depending on various elements, such as editing, proofreading, illustrations, or cover design that you may need.

Do you offer cover designs?

Yes. We will design a book cover that you are happy with. Feel free to send your ideas for a book cover as well as samples if you have them so we can produce a cover that resonates with your story. Book cover design is sold as part of a full package or can be an add-on.

What about editing and proofreading?

We offer both editing and proofreading services upon request. If your book has been edited and/or proofread before submission, that is great. If your book is in need of editing and proofreading before publication, we offer both as an add-on. Our editors and proofreaders have 25+ years of experience in the field and will present the best work possible. 

Do you develop illustrations?

Yes. We do have illustrators who can create beautiful illustrations for your book as needed. This is also an add-on service that we recommend for authors of children's books in particular.

Who owns the rights to my work?

You own all the rights to your work. We never buy rights from authors or imply that the rights to your work or ours---ever. That means if you want to move to another publisher or obtain a literary agent, you can do so---no strings attached..

What about royalties?

You keep 100% of the royalties off the sale of your book. We create an account for you and you will be given all of the access to check sales reports and have royalties directly deposited into your account when a book is sold. 

What does the review process look like?

The review process can take between 72 hours (3 business days) and 7 business days to complete for most manuscripts. We believe that every writer who has a story to tell or message to share should be able to do it with a supportive publisher and for a reasonable cost. 

After my book is published, do you help with marketing?

Yes. We work with our partner brand to create full marketing campaigns and packages that aim to increase brand awareness, create brand reputation, and hopefully, result in more book sales. Our marketing campaigns include almost everything from video creation, social media, paid campaigns, and website design and SEO.

What format should I submit my book?

We prefer for all books to be submitted in a Microsoft Word format with no password protection on the file. PDF files are acceptable for REVIEW only, but if approved, we will request the Word file.

Can I get consultation before I start?

Yes. We offer a 30-minute phone or email consultation in which you may get all of your questions answered before you start the process of publishing as well as gain clarity on the full publishing journey---from ideation to continuous promotion.
