Frequently asked questions
Straightforward answers about genres, timelines, copyright, involvement, refunds, and confidentiality.
Fiction, nonfiction, romance, Christian, self-help, children’s, poetry, and academic. We match your project with a writer who specializes in your genre.
Most projects run three to six months from kickoff to launch, depending on length and the services you choose. Editing-only work moves faster; a full ghostwritten manuscript takes longer. You receive a dated schedule at the end of your consultation.
You do. Copyright stays in your name from the first draft onward, and you keep 100% of the royalties on every format we publish. We never take a share of your rights or your earnings.
As involved as you want to be. Some authors approve every chapter as it is written, others check in once a month and leave the rest to us. You set the pace at the start and we work to it.
If work has not started, your payment is returned in full. Once your team is booked and writing has begun, deposits are non-refundable, but every package includes a set number of revisions so the work meets your expectations.
Yes. Every project is covered by a confidentiality agreement, and your manuscript is only seen by the team assigned to it. We never share your name, your material, or your involvement without your written permission.
