The manuscript
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.
Best for: Authors with a complete draft who want it genuinely ready for readers, not just error-free.
Start here →The storefront
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.
Best for: Authors publishing on Amazon who need a cover that competes in its category, not just decorates the book.
Start here →The files
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.
Best for: Authors who want files that simply work, on Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and everything else.
Start here →The shelf
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.
Best for: First-time publishers, and published authors whose current listing is underperforming the book.
Start here →The object
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.
Best for: Authors who want a real book in readers’ hands, and on their own shelf, without buying inventory.
Start here →Your own ground
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.
Best for: Authors building a career longer than one book.
Start here →The campaign
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.
Best for: Authors who want their launch treated like a campaign, because that is what it is.
Start here →The engine
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.
Best for: Published authors whose book converts browsers into buyers but is not getting seen.
Start here →The name on the spine
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.
Best for: Authors planning a series, a pen name, or a long shelf.
Start here →The collaboration
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.
Best for: Experts, founders, and professionals with a book in them and no year to spare writing it.
Start here →The listening edition
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.
Best for: Authors whose readers keep asking, “Is this on audio yet?”
Start here →The foundations
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.
Best for: First-time publishers who want the foundations done properly, once.
Start here →Not sure where to start?
That is what the free assessment is for. Send the manuscript and we will name the services that would help, the ones that would not, and the flat price for each.
