Publishing Packages

Every author deserves a smooth, professional path to publishing. That’s why we’ve created comprehensive publishing packages designed to take you from draft to finished product.

All-in-One Publishing Service Packages From Manuscript to Market

Our packages bundle together the most essential services—editing, design, formatting, and publishing support—into a single, one-time fee. No hidden charges. No ongoing royalties. You keep full ownership of your work and creative control of your vision while we handle the details that bring your story to life. We also understand that every project is unique. That’s why we offer a variety of packages to fit your goals, timeline, and budget. Whether you’re publishing your very first book or growing your author brand, we’ll help you select the right plan for you.

Standard Book Publishing Packages

You’ll need to provide a finished digital manuscript (up to 80,000 words) in Word, Google Docs, or a similar editable format. That’s it—we’ll guide you through everything else.
