How payment works.
No package is bought on this page. First the Author Assessment; then the call; then a written proposal with price, timeline and what’s not included; then the contract. The payment link comes with the proposal. Installments are monthly at no extra cost: two, four or six depending on the package.
After the first one.
A second book by the same author: Intelligent Author at fifteen percent less, because your voice is already mapped.
Three pricing questions
Why don’t you publish a «starting at» price?
Because «starting at» is the phrase this industry uses to hide what it will really cost. Three closed figures. If your manuscript runs past 45,000 words, the quote is made on the same table and we show it to you.
Can I pay all at once?
Yes. There’s no discount for doing so: we don’t reward the cash, we reward the process.
Do prices include taxes?
They’re in US dollars. Any taxes that apply in your country are stated in the proposal, with the final figure, before you sign anything.
