This is a hands-on, one-to-one collaboration that takes you from "I have a manuscript" to "Is this really my book?"
The whole book in four phases
NEXT
We print your cover and hold it before anything is final, because a book lives in hands, bags, and bedside tables. Then you get your print-ready files, your ebook files, and help setting everything up with your printer of choice, so publishing day feels like a celebration.

FAQS
The questions you might be wondering...
How long does the design take?
At least three months from the day we start to your print-ready files.
You'll get a real timeline once I've read your manuscript.
If you have a launch date in mind, tell me early, and we'll plan backwards from it.
What's the investment?
[Tell me about your book →]
The Published Book Path starts at $5,000.
Your final number depends on your book's length and needs, and you'll have it in writing before anything begins.
You can pay in full, or split it: 50% to start and 50% when your final files are approved.
What's included?
Manuscript reading and creative direction, 3 cover concepts, 3 rounds of revisions, a full wrap cover, a reader-friendly interior layout, print-ready and ebook files, and KDP setup and upload support.
If you'd like more, extra rounds are available and quoted before we start, so your total always stays clear.
Do you help with KDP? Or other print services?
Yes. KDP setup and upload support is part of this path. I prepare your files to KDP's print specs (trim size, bleed, margins, spine width) and help you through the upload, so the first proof in your mailbox looks like the book you approved.
What do I need to have ready, and is it too early if I'm still editing?
Still editing? Often that's the perfect time. Your cover can take shape while you finish edits, and your layout comes together once your text is final.
A finished or nearly finished manuscript and a sense of how you'd like your reader to feel.

Can I start with just one part of the book?
Yes. If you only need the cover or only the pages, the Book Cover Path and Book Layout Path cover each one on its own. If you want both, this path brings them together on one timeline, with KDP support included.
