Transparent rates
Pricing
Flat published prices for every service and package. Build the plan your book actually needs — nothing gets added to the invoice afterwards.
Every price below is the price. There is no discovery call required to see a number, no percentage of your royalties taken, and no charge added after you approve the work.
Packages or individual services
Most authors take a package because it is cheaper than the same services bought separately. Plenty take one service. Both are normal, and you can add services to a package later at the same rate.
