Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about book publishing in Austin, Texas.

How does your publishing process work for Austin authors?
We sign an NDA to protect your manuscript and royalties, then review your draft and create a publishing plan. We handle editing, formatting, cover design, ISBN assignment, Library of Congress registration, and distribution to all major platforms. Once live, you access a real-time sales portal to track royalties and reader engagement.
How much does self-publishing cost in Texas?
Costs depend on the services you choose — editing, ghostwriting, design, audiobook production, or marketing. We offer flexible packages with 0% interest monthly payment plans, so you can publish on your budget without financial pressure. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your manuscript.
How long does the publishing process take?
Most projects are completed within 3–6 months. Simpler edit-and-design projects may be done in 6–8 weeks, while ghostwriting or full marketing campaigns can extend the timeline. We also offer a self-paced program — you control the schedule and can pause and resume at any time.
Do I keep 100% ownership and royalties?
Yes — always. You retain 100% copyright and 100% of your royalties. We provide publishing services; we never claim rights to your work. A signed NDA and contract confirm this from day one.
What genres do you publish in Austin, Texas?
We publish all genres: fiction (novels, thrillers, romance, fantasy, sci-fi), nonfiction (business, self-help, history), memoirs, children's books, young adult, poetry, and academic works. Our editors adapt to your specific tone and target audience regardless of genre.
Do you work with authors outside Austin?
Absolutely. While Austin is our home base, we support authors across Texas — Houston, Dallas, San Antonio — and worldwide. We work fully remotely and provide the same personalized publishing experience to every author, wherever they're located.
Can you help with book marketing and promotion?
Yes — marketing is core to our service. We offer press release distribution, TikTok ads, video trailers, social media campaigns, SEO-optimized author websites, blog features, and bookstore outreach. Our goal is to make sure your book gets noticed, not just published.
