Ghostwriting

Ghostwriting is entirely legal and widely practiced across publishing, politics, business, and entertainment. You commission original work, ownership transfers to you under a signed agreement, and Kindle Publishing Experts signs a comprehensive NDA before any project begins. Your name is the sole author credit on the finished book.

Script Writing

We ghostwrite feature film screenplays, TV pilots, limited series, web series, short films, and stage plays across all genres, including drama, comedy, thriller, horror, sci-fi, and documentary.

Either works. If you have a concept only, we build a beat sheet and scene-by-scene outline for your approval before drafting. If you have a draft or partial script, we can continue from there.

Editing & Formatting

Developmental editing addresses structure, narrative arc, chapter order, argument flow, and pacing. Line editing works at the sentence level, clarity, rhythm, word choice, and voice consistency. Copy editing handles correctness, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style guide compliance. Most manuscripts need all three, in that order.

Yes. We edit manuscripts from any source. Share your manuscript in the consultation call, and we will scope the exact level of editing required.

Book Design

Every cover design package includes three fully rendered initial concepts, not rough sketches. You choose one direction, and we revise through unlimited rounds until you approve the final design.

Yes. All artwork, licensed fonts, and image licenses transfer to you upon final payment. You receive the print-ready PDF, eBook JPEG, and layered source files for use on any platform without restriction.

First concepts are delivered within 7–10 business days of a complete brief. Most projects are finalized within 3–4 weeks, including revision rounds.

Publishing & Distribution

A purchased ISBN lets you register your own imprint as a publisher, which looks more professional and gives you full portability if you ever switch distributors. Free KDP ISBNs list "Independently Published" as publisher. We strongly recommend purchasing your own through Bowker.

Amazon typically reviews and approves new titles within 24–72 hours of upload. IngramSpark wide distribution goes live within 5–10 business days for most channels.

Yes. If you have an existing imprint or want to establish one, we publish under that name. We advise on imprint setup as part of our publishing consultation.

Metadata is every piece of information associated with your book, title, subtitle, description, keywords, categories. Amazon's search algorithm uses metadata to decide which searches your book appears in. Strong metadata dramatically increases discoverability without any ongoing advertising spend.

Book Marketing

8–12 weeks before the publication date is the minimum for a full campaign. That window allows for ARC distribution and review collection (4–6 weeks), pre-order setup, and scheduling all marketing assets. Campaigns launched with less than 4 weeks' runway sacrifice reviews and pre-order momentum.

Yes, when set up and managed correctly. A well-managed campaign targets an ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sale) of 30–60%. We set targets based on your specific royalty margin and optimize continuously. Most campaigns reach ROI-positive performance by weeks 4–8.

A bestseller campaign concentrates your book's sales in a 24–72 hour window to rank #1 in one or more Amazon sub-categories, earning a permanent bestseller tag. The campaign coordinates email, social, ads, and promotional placements to drive concentrated sales. Category selection is the most important strategic decision.

Through an advance review copy (ARC) program, we distribute pre-publication copies to a curated list of genre-relevant readers and bloggers. All reviewers disclose receipt of an ARC in compliance with Amazon's guidelines. We never purchase reviews or use incentivized programs that violate platform policies.

Social media is most effective for audience building, discoverability, and reader engagement between releases. Viral moments (particularly BookTok) can drive significant short-term sales. For most authors, it works best as a long-term brand-building tool that complements ads and email marketing.

An email list built before launch. A list of even 500 engaged subscribers can drive enough concentrated launch-day sales to earn a bestseller tag, generate initial reviews, and trigger Amazon's recommendation algorithm. Everything else amplifies the list and it is the foundation.

Author Branding

Yes. Your author website is the hub that links every other channel, Amazon listing, social media, email list, press materials, and speaking inquiries. It is the only online asset you fully own and control, independent of any platform's algorithm or policy changes.

Homepage (book showcase and email opt-in), Books page (with retailer links), About page (bio and photo), Blog or Resources (optional but good for SEO), and Contact or Booking page. We design all of these as part of our standard author website package.

A speaking one-sheet is a 1–2 page PDF you send to event organizers, podcast hosts, and conference program managers when pitching yourself as a speaker or guest. It covers your bio, talk topics, social proof, and booking contact.

A full package, website, bio, blurb, speaker deck, and social media setup, typically takes 4–6 weeks from brief to delivery.

Coaching & Consulting

A professionally self-published book with ghostwriting, editing, cover design, interior formatting, and launch marketing typically runs $8,000–$25,000, depending on word count and service level. Editing-only projects (existing manuscript) start around $1,500.

A 3-minute strategy call is the fastest way to find the right path. No obligation. NDA on request.
