Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)

Q1. I have an idea, but I’m not a writer. Can you still help?

Yes. Many of our clients are busy professionals and thought leaders who have powerful ideas but limited time to write. You share your vision, stories, and expertise through conversations, notes, or slides and our ghostwriters and book coaches turn that into a clear, structured and engaging manuscript in your voice.

Q2. Will I still be the author if you ghostwrite my book?

Absolutely. When you hire a ghostwriter, you are paying for a professional writing service while retaining 100% authorship, ownership and rights to your book. Your name appears on the cover and copyright page; our role remains completely confidential unless you choose to disclose it.

Q3. What types of books and genres do you work with?

We specialize in nonfiction, including business and leadership books, personal development, memoir, professional guides (such as tax, law, HR, finance), academic and research based titles and children’s books. For fiction, we occasionally accept select projects depending on scope and fit—please contact us with details so we can advise you.

Q4. Do you offer editing if I’ve already written my book?

Yes. If you have a draft, we can step in at the editing stage. Our editing services include:

• Developmental editing (structure, flow, clarity of ideas)

• Line and copyediting (sentence level style, tone and readability)

• Proofreading (final error check for grammar, spelling, punctuation)

You can book editing as a standalone service, even if we did not write the manuscript.

Q5. What formats do you support for publishing?

We format manuscripts for all major digital and print formats, including:

• eBook: EPUB, Kindle‑compatible files (for Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Google Play Books)

• Print: Paperback and hardcover (PDF print interiors), including large print editions

Files are prepared to meet platform guidelines so they can be uploaded and approved smoothly.

Q6. Can I request revisions to my book cover design?

Yes. Cover design includes agreed upon rounds of revisions so we can refine the concept, colors and layout until it aligns with your vision and genre expectations. Your feedback is built into the process and we only finalize the cover once you approve it.

Q7. Do you design children’s book pages and layouts?

Yes. For children’s books, we support illustration and layout by helping create or adapt visuals and designing playful, age appropriate interior layouts for print and digital. Our focus is on delivering professional, ready‑to‑publish files; audio production and physical printing are not included.

Q8. Will you publish my book under your own accounts?

No. We strongly believe you should retain full control, rights and royalties. We guide you through setting up and using your own author accounts on platforms like Amazon KDP, Apple Books and Google Play Books, and we can assist with uploads and settings as needed—but the accounts remain in your name.

Here are answers to common questions about our ghostwriting, editing, design and self publishing services. For anything else, just send us a message and we’ll be happy to help.

Q9. What if I don’t want to handle the publishing platforms myself?

Our standard recommendation is that you publish under your own accounts. However, if you prefer not to interact with the platforms directly, we can discuss managed upload and setup under clear, written agreements. These arrangements define access, responsibilities and how we support you while you still retain control over your content and royalties.

Q10. How long does the process take?

Timelines depend on the service and complexity of your book:

• Full ghostwriting projects typically take around 8–16 weeks from discovery to completed manuscript.

• Editing and formatting projects usually take 2–4 weeks after we receive your files, depending on word count and our schedule.

We provide a customized timeline and milestones after reviewing your project in an initial consultation.

Q11. Is my information kept confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is a core part of how we work. All ideas, drafts, documents and conversations are treated as private and handled under strict discretion. We are happy to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) at the start of your project for additional peace of mind.

Q12. How much do your services cost?

Pricing depends on the type of book, length, complexity and services required (ghostwriting, editing, design, formatting, publishing support). After we review your project details, we provide a clear, customized quote outlining scope, deliverables and timelines so you can make an informed decision.

Q13. How do payments work?

We use milestone based payments so you’re never paying for everything upfront. Typically, there is an initial deposit to reserve your slot, followed by installments tied to specific stages (such as outline approval, draft delivery, editing completion, or final files). We accept secure international payment methods such as Wise, Payoneer and bank transfers.

Q14. What if I’m not satisfied with the work?

Client satisfaction is very important to us. Each service includes defined revision rounds to refine the manuscript, design, or formatting based on your feedback. We aim to prevent issues through clear scoping and regular communication. Because publishing and writing are professional creative services, refunds are only considered in exceptional cases and in line with our service agreement.
