The manuscript

Book Editing Services: Developmental, Line & Proofreading

Three manuscript editing passes that take a draft from promising to publishable.

Developmental editing fixes the book: structure, argument, pacing, and the chapters that should not exist. Line and copy editing fix the sentences, and a final proofread catches what every earlier pass missed, because something always survives.

  • Developmental report with chapter-level notes and a revision plan
  • Full line and copy edit in tracked changes, with a style sheet
  • Final proofread of the formatted files, not just the manuscript
  • A call with your editor after each pass to walk through the changes

Best for: Authors with a complete draft who want it genuinely ready for readers, not just error-free.

The storefront

Book Cover Design for Ebook & Print

A cover that sells the book at thumbnail size, where buying decisions actually happen.

On Amazon your cover is judged in about a second, at the size of a postage stamp, against forty rivals on the same screen. We design for that reality: instant genre signals, a title readable at 80 pixels, and a full print wrap that holds up on a shelf.

  • Three distinct cover concepts, then refinement of your pick
  • Final ebook cover sized to retailer specifications
  • Full print wrap (front, spine, back) sized to your exact page count
  • Source files plus ready-to-post marketing crops

Best for: Authors publishing on Amazon who need a cover that competes in its category, not just decorates the book.

03

The files

Ebook Formatting Services: EPUB & Kindle Conversion

Clean, validated ebook files that upload without errors and read well on every device.

We convert your manuscript into a properly structured EPUB and a Kindle-ready file, with working navigation, styled front and back matter, and typography that respects your book. Then we test on real devices, because validation reports do not read books and people do.

  • Validated EPUB 3 file that passes retailer checks the first time
  • Kindle-ready file tested in Amazon’s previewer and on device
  • Linked table of contents, styled chapter openers, front and back matter
  • One round of corrections after your own device review

Best for: Authors who want files that simply work, on Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and everything else.

The shelf

Amazon KDP Publishing Setup

Your Amazon listing built right the first time, in your account, in your name.

Categories, keywords, pricing, territories, and a book description written to sell: the KDP dashboard is full of decisions that quietly decide your sales. We research each one, set up the listing inside your own account, and hand you the keys along with the reasoning.

  • KDP account and listing setup under your ownership
  • Keyword and category research with our selections explained
  • A sales-focused book description, formatted for Amazon
  • Pricing, territory, and pre-order or launch-date configuration

Best for: First-time publishers, and published authors whose current listing is underperforming the book.

The object

Print-on-Demand Setup: Paperback & Hardcover

Paperback and hardcover editions with no print run, no inventory, and no garage full of boxes.

Print-on-demand means Amazon prints a copy when a reader orders one, and you never touch stock. We handle the interior layout, trim and paper choices, cover wrap, pricing math, and proof review so your physical edition looks like it came from a house with a hundred years of practice.

  • Professionally typeset print interior (PDF to printer specification)
  • Trim size, paper, and pricing setup with royalty math shown
  • Cover wrap fitted to final page count, proof copy reviewed
  • Expanded distribution setup for bookstores and libraries where eligible

Best for: Authors who want a real book in readers’ hands, and on their own shelf, without buying inventory.

Your own ground

Author Websites & Email List Building

A website with one job: turning visitors into readers you can reach again.

An author site is not a brochure, it is the one piece of ground you own on the internet. We build fast, clean sites centered on an email signup and your books, so every reader who finds you once can be reached when the next book comes out.

  • Designed and built author website on your own domain
  • Email list setup with a reader magnet to earn signups
  • A page per book with retailer links and review pull-quotes
  • Analytics, hosting, and a short guide to updating it yourself

Best for: Authors building a career longer than one book.

07

The campaign

Book Marketing Services & Launch Campaigns

A launch with dates, deliverables, and numbers, not crossed fingers.

Most books launch to silence because nothing was scheduled to happen. We build a 90-day campaign around your release: advance review copies, newsletter promotions, price strategy, and a week-by-week calendar, then we report what each piece produced.

  • A dated 90-day launch plan, built around your book and genre
  • Advance review copy (ARC) outreach and review pipeline
  • Newsletter and price-promotion placements scheduled and managed
  • Weekly plain-English reporting during the campaign

Best for: Authors who want their launch treated like a campaign, because that is what it is.

The engine

Amazon Ads for Books

Ads measured against your actual royalty per sale, scaled when they pay, cut when they do not.

Amazon ads put your book in front of readers at the moment they are shopping for one like it. We start small, test keywords and rival titles, and let the numbers decide: campaigns that return more than they cost get more budget, and the rest get shut off without sentiment.

  • Keyword and competitor targeting research for your category
  • Campaign build inside your own Amazon Ads account
  • Weekly optimization: bids raised, losers paused, winners scaled
  • Monthly report showing spend, sales, and cost per sale in plain numbers

Best for: Published authors whose book converts browsers into buyers but is not getting seen.

The name on the spine

Author Branding

One recognizable author identity across every cover, profile, and page.

Readers buy authors, not just titles, and they can only follow you if you look like the same person everywhere. We define your author brand once, then apply it across covers, your website, Amazon author page, and social profiles so each book compounds the last one.

  • Author brand guide: positioning, voice, typography, color
  • Bio suite in three lengths, written for readers, not resumes
  • Series and cover styling rules so future books match
  • Profile kit for Amazon Author Central and social platforms

Best for: Authors planning a series, a pen name, or a long shelf.

The collaboration

Ghostwriting Services & Co-writing

Your ideas, your voice, your name on the cover. Our discipline on the page.

You bring the expertise and the stories; we bring the structure and the hours. Through recorded interviews we capture how you actually talk, then draft the book chapter by chapter with your approval at every stage, under NDA, with full copyright assigned to you.

  • Interview program and a full book outline you approve first
  • Chapters drafted in your voice, delivered on a set schedule
  • Two revision rounds per chapter, plus a full-manuscript pass
  • NDA as standard and complete transfer of copyright to you

Best for: Experts, founders, and professionals with a book in them and no year to spare writing it.

The listening edition

Audiobook Production Coordination

From casting the right narrator to live on Audible, managed end to end.

Audio is the fastest-growing way people consume books, and production is a specialist’s job. We run narrator auditions, manage the studio process, quality-check every chapter against retailer specifications, and handle distribution setup so your audiobook arrives where listeners are.

  • Narrator auditions and casting, with samples for your approval
  • Production management and chapter-by-chapter quality control
  • Files checked against ACX and retailer technical specifications
  • Distribution setup for Audible, Apple, and other audio retailers

Best for: Authors whose readers keep asking, “Is this on audio yet?”

The foundations

ISBN & Copyright Guidance

Own your identifiers, register your rights, and skip the guesswork.

Free ISBNs list Amazon as your publisher; your own ISBNs list you, and the difference matters later. We walk you through ISBN strategy, U.S. copyright registration, and the metadata that libraries and retailers read, so the paperwork underneath your book is as solid as the book.

  • ISBN strategy, purchase help, and correct assignment per edition
  • Step-by-step U.S. copyright registration guidance
  • Metadata setup: contributor roles, BISAC codes, publisher of record
  • A rights and records checklist you keep for every future book

Best for: First-time publishers who want the foundations done properly, once.
