Frequently Asked Questions

Publishing basics

Our publishing team will take your book from start to finish after you submit your manuscript and pay the publishing fee. The process includes content readiness review, typesetting, editing, designing, and proofreading.

Copyright to your book will always belong to you.

We will help you determine what’s best for your audience. However, we also welcome your ideas, and will do our best to meet your expectations.

Typically, from the moment we receive your content in entirety, it takes 20-25 days to publish the book. In rare cases, additional time is required if your book includes a lot of illustrations or needs corrections after proofreading.

Great question! About 9/10 authors recover their investment in less than a month after launching the book. Our Publishing Consultant can also assess your content and provide advice on whether or not your book is ready for publication before you pay the fees.

We offer a fair-money-back guarantee if things don’t work out.
