For the writer in your life

Gift Cards

Give someone the part of publishing that is hardest to buy for themselves — a professional edit, a real cover, or a full production package.

Get started Ask a question

Gift cards apply to any service in the catalogue. The recipient chooses what their book actually needs rather than being handed something they have to work around.

How it works

  • Choose any amount, or the exact value of a specific service
  • Delivered by email immediately, or scheduled for a date you pick
  • Redeemable against any service or package
  • No expiry date and no dormancy fees
  • Balances can be combined and topped up

Good for

Marisa Kent Whispers of Time · Historical Fiction

“The metadata work alone doubled my discoverability. They treat a book like a product, not a favour.”

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes — all of them. You hold the copyright, the royalties and the final say on every decision. We are a service partner, never a rights holder.
How much does publishing a book cost?
It depends on which services your manuscript actually needs. Our pricing page lists flat rates per service so you can build a package without a sales call, and nothing is added to the invoice later.
How long does the whole process take?
A typical title moves from finished manuscript to live retail listings in eight to sixteen weeks. Editing depth and audiobook production are the two stages that move that range the most.
Can I order a single service instead of a package?
Absolutely. Plenty of authors come to us only for a cover, only for distribution, or only for an audiobook. Order one service today and add another whenever you want.
Where will my book actually be sold?
Across major global online retailers, independent bookstores, library and academic wholesalers, ebook storefronts, and audiobook platforms — in print, digital and audio depending on the editions you produce.
What if I am not happy with the work?
Every service includes revision rounds, and our guarantee page sets out exactly what happens if a deliverable misses the brief. We would rather redo it than ship something you dislike.
