Start your book

Let's make your book real.

Tell us about your book and send us the manuscript. We'll read it, tell you which level of work it needs and exactly why, and quote you. You're not charged anything until you've seen that and agreed to it.

Our fee depends on it. Authors outside high-income countries pay less — see the table.

We save a copy when you submit, so later edits to your page won't change what we read and quoted.

There is no wrong answer here and it will not cost you the quote. Amazon asks the same question when a book publishes, so we would rather know now and advise you properly. AI that only edited your own words is not disclosable; AI that wrote them is.

Before we read it
Before we read your manuscript, we need you to confirm that it is yours to give us. By submitting, you confirm that: 1. You wrote this work, you own it, and you have the authority to publish it with us. 2. It is original, and you have not given another publisher a conflicting right to it. 3. It does not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, or other right. 4. Every piece of third-party material in it — quotations, photographs, illustrations, song lyrics, and Scripture quoted beyond what the translation's publisher allows without permission — is either your own, in the public domain, quoted within fair use, or used with a permission you can produce if asked. 5. Every quotation you attribute to a named person is accurate and correctly attributed. 6. Nothing in it is defamatory, invades anyone's privacy, or is unlawful. If any of this is not yet true — a photograph you have not cleared, a quotation you are unsure of — tell us in the form rather than here. We would far rather sort it out now than discover it after the book is printed.

You won't be charged yet — we read the manuscript, quote it, and show you the findings first. Not ready to commit? Let's talk first or book a call. Haven't settled on a book yet? Get three free ideas.
