Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about rights, royalties, platforms, timelines and cost. Anything else? Ask us on live chat.
Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes. Your manuscript, your cover artwork and your book's rights belong to you. We work as your publishing team, not as a publisher that holds your rights. Everything we produce for your book is yours.
Who receives the royalties?
You do. Wherever possible we publish under your own retailer accounts, so royalties flow directly from each store to you. We never take a percentage of your book's earnings.
Which platforms can you publish my book on?
We regularly set books up on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Lulu, Kobo, Barnes & Noble Press, Draft2Digital, Apple Books and Google Play Books. Which ones make sense depends on your book and goals. We advise and you decide.
How long does the publishing process take?
It depends on the services your book needs. Editing is usually the longest stage, while design, formatting and store setup are quicker. Once we have seen your manuscript we give you a schedule and keep to it.
Do you work with new authors?
Most of our authors are publishing their first book. We explain every step in plain language, show you previews before anything is final, and you approve each stage before we move to the next.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on your manuscript's length and the services you choose. Tell us about your book through the contact form or live chat and we will send you a clear, itemised quote with no obligation.
