01 · Who We Are
We are a hands-on publishing house in Lombard, Illinois. Every book gets a real team and a real plan, never a template.
Most of the authors who come to us have never published before. Some have a finished manuscript sitting in a drawer. Others have an idea they have carried around for years and never quite got onto the page.
Either way, we start with a conversation. We read what you have, figure out what the book actually needs, and give you a clear, itemized quote before anything begins. No mystery packages and no pressure to buy services you will not use.

Common Questions From New Authors
Straight answers to what authors ask us most. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
We handle the professional work an author would otherwise hire out piece by piece: ghostwriting or editing, cover design, interior formatting, ISBN and copyright guidance, distribution setup on the major retailers, and launch marketing. You keep ownership of the book and all of its royalties.
Yes. You own 100% of your rights. We do not buy, license, or share them, and we never take a percentage of your royalties.
No. We are an independent publishing services company. Traditional publishers acquire your rights and pay you a small royalty. We work for you instead, so you keep control of the content, the price, and the earnings.
It depends on what your manuscript needs. A finished, edited book that only needs a cover and distribution costs far less than a book that needs full ghostwriting. After a free consultation we send an itemized quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Yes. Our ghostwriters work from interviews, notes, and recordings to build the manuscript with you. You approve the outline and every chapter, and the book is published under your name.
Most authors publish on Amazon in ebook and paperback, then expand to IngramSpark for bookstores and libraries, plus Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Google Play. We recommend the mix that fits your genre and goals.
