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.
Ready to publish your book?
Bring us the draft you have. We will handle the rest of the hive work — and you keep every right to the finished book.
