Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions?
How involved do I need to be in the writing process?
Your involvement is primarily required during the initial interview phases, where we capture your voice and stories. After that, we handle the heavy lifting of writing and structuring. You will be asked to review drafts at key milestones to ensure the narrative aligns perfectly with your vision.
How long does it take to produce a custom book?
The timeline varies significantly based on the scope of the project, the amount of archival research required, and the design complexity. Generally, a full-length memoir or corporate history book takes anywhere from 6 to 12 months from the initial discovery phase to the delivery of the final printed volumes.
Who holds the copyright to the finished book?
You do. We operate as a ghostwriting and bespoke publishing service. Upon completion of the project and final payment, all intellectual property rights and copyrights are transferred entirely to you or your organization.
Do you handle the design and printing as well?
Yes, we offer an end-to-end service. Our team includes expert book designers who specialize in typography and layout for luxury volumes. We also manage relationships with premium boutique printers to ensure the physical book matches the quality of the writing, utilizing top-tier papers, bindings, and finishes.
