Ready to go.
Priced before
you commit.

01The packages

Choose the level of house
you want behind the book.

Scope is fixed so you can compare honestly. If your book needs something outside a pack, it is added to a written scope before we begin — never discovered as a bill afterwards.

02What every pack shares

The terms do not change
depending on the pack.

Ownership

Your copyright stays yours

Publishing rights are agreed for a defined term and territory, in writing. No pack, at any level, asks for ownership of your work.

Money

Fixed scope, fixed price

A written scope and a quoted price before work starts. No hourly billing. No charge for the review if we decline the book.

Control

You approve every stage

Cover, interior, and the final proof come to you for approval. Nothing goes to print without your sign-off.

Contact

One person, named

You get a single point of contact at the house for the life of the project — not a shared inbox.

03The one rule

No pack is sold
before a pass.

This is the part that protects both sides. A pack is a promise that we can make your book something worth publishing — so we only offer one when the review says we can keep it.
