Frequently asked questions

Absolutely. Most of our authors are first-timers. Whether you have a finished draft, a few chapters, a box of notes or just an idea, we will recommend the right starting point and guide you through every step.

You tell us about your book and goals by phone, video call or our online form. A publishing consultant reviews it and sends back a recommended plan, timeline and fixed quote, usually within one working day. There is no obligation.

Yes. You can hire us only for editing, only for a cover, or for the complete journey from writing to marketing. Every service is available on its own.

Yes. Most of our authors live in the UK, but we also work with writers in Ireland, Europe and further afield by phone, email and video call, and we publish to shops in every major market.

You do, completely. You keep the copyright, the credit and 100% of your royalties. Our agreement says so in writing, and your book is published in accounts that belong to you.

Only if you tell them. Our writers sign confidentiality agreements, waive the right to be named as author, and we never list your book as our work without your written permission.

No. You pay for the services you choose, and the shops pay your royalties straight to you. We never take a percentage of your book sales.

It depends on where you are starting. Publishing a finished, edited manuscript can take 2 to 4 weeks. Editing takes 2 to 6 weeks. Ghostwriting a full book usually takes 3 to 6 months. Your plan will include a clear timeline.

You get a dedicated project manager, a shared schedule and regular updates by email or call. You approve every major step before we move to the next one.

Tell us. Revisions are built into every service, and your project manager will work with the team until the result is right for you.

Every book is different, so we do not use one-size price lists. After a free consultation we send a written quote in pounds based on your book, its length and the services you choose. You approve it before any work starts.

Yes. Larger projects such as ghostwriting can be split into staged payments tied to the work delivered, so you never pay far ahead.

No. Your quote lists exactly what is included and shows clearly whether VAT applies. The only costs outside it are things paid to third parties by choice, such as your own ISBNs or advertising budget, and we tell you about those up front.

Yes. If you agreed your project with us online, by email or by phone, you have 14 days to cancel under UK consumer law. Our Refund Policy explains how it works, including what happens if you asked us to start straight away.
