"I had 40 pages of notes and a story I'd carried for ten years. Eight months later I held a finished novel in my hands. My writer captured my voice so well my sister thought I'd written every word."
Sarah Mitchell
Author, The Quiet Harbor
"Our business book became a #1 New Release in Management on Amazon within its first week. It's now the first thing we hand to new clients — it has paid for itself many times over."
James Whitaker
Founder, Whitaker Logistics
"The illustrations and cover were beyond what I imagined. The team walked me through KDP and IngramSpark step by step, and my book is now in our local library and two independent bookstores."
Emily Carter
Children's author
"They interviewed me over twelve calls and turned it into a memoir my kids will read long after I'm gone. Honest, patient people who kept every promise on the timeline."
Michael Reyes
Marine veteran, memoirist
"The audiobook narration was studio quality and went live on Audible in under five weeks. Royalties from audio now outpace my paperback sales."

FAQ
Copy Editing questions
Can't find your answer? Talk to a consultant — it's free and there's no obligation.
Send us your first chapter for a free sample edit. Your editor will recommend the right level — and tell you honestly if you only need a proofread.
Yes, we have subject-matter editors for academic, medical, legal and technical manuscripts.
No. Good editing makes you sound more like yourself. Every change is tracked and explained so you stay in control.
Yes — 100%. You keep full copyright and every penny of royalties. Our contract transfers all intellectual property to you, and your name is the only one on the cover.
Most ghostwritten books take 3–6 months depending on length and research. Editing projects usually take 2–4 weeks, and publishing on all major stores takes 2–3 weeks once your manuscript is final.
Completely. Every writer signs an NDA before seeing your material, and we never list ghostwritten clients publicly without written permission.
