01What we do

Ten services. Buy one, or buy the whole shelf.

Nothing here is bundled to hide a weak spot. Around 40% of our authors hire us for a single job — a cover, a proofread, an audiobook — and that is a perfectly good way to work with us.

Ghostwriting & Book Writing
01 — from $8,500

Ghostwriting & Book Writing

You talk, we write. A dedicated ghostwriter builds your book from interviews, notes, or a half-finished draft — in your voice, not ours.

Book Editing & Proofreading
02 — from $0.028 / word

Book Editing & Proofreading

Developmental, line, copy, and proof — four distinct passes, each done by a specialist rather than one generalist skimming for typos.

Book Cover Design
03 — from $690

Book Cover Design

Three original concepts from a designer who reads your manuscript first and studies the twenty books already winning your category.

02Why authors switch to us

Most publishing services quietly keep something. We don't.

The ISBN registered to the vendor. Retail accounts in the vendor's name. A royalty share buried on page four. These are the standard tricks of the assisted-publishing trade, and they all do the same thing: make it expensive for you to leave.

We set every account up under your identity and hand you the logins on day one. If you decide halfway through that you would rather finish elsewhere, you can — with your manuscript, your files, your ISBN, and your sales history intact.

  • Copyright stays in your name
  • ISBN registered to you or your imprint
  • Retail accounts under your login
  • Editable source files handed over
  • Fixed itemised quotes, no retainers
  • NDA signed before you send pages
03How a book gets made

Five stages, one named lead, weekly updates.

You will always know which stage your book is in and who is holding it. That sounds like a low bar. In this industry it is not.

01Stage

Consultation

A 30-minute call with a publishing advisor, not a salesperson. We work out what your book actually needs and, just as often, what it does not. You leave with a written scope whether or not you hire us.

02Stage

Scope and quote

A fixed, itemised quote. You see the cost of every line, and you can remove any of them. No retainers, no surprise change orders halfway through.

03Stage

Production

Writing, editing, design, and typesetting run against a published schedule with a named lead on your project. Weekly updates land whether or not there is news.

04Stage

Publish

Accounts in your name, metadata researched rather than guessed, a physical proof checked before release, and every storefront verified after launch.

05Stage

Grow

Ads, reviews, podcasts, and email. Weekly reporting on spend and copies sold, for as long as you want us running it.

05Author reviews

What authors say when nobody is selling them anything.

★★★★★

Nine months of interviews turned into a manuscript I actually recognise as mine. I had tried two other ghostwriters before Penghouse and both handed back something that sounded like a press release.

Marguerite OkonkwoMemoir · Ledger of Small Hours
★★★★★

The developmental letter was fourteen pages and it hurt to read. It was also right about every single thing. Chapter nine had been doing chapter four's job for two years.

David AshworthLiterary fiction · The Salt Between Us
★★★★★

They rejected my favourite cover concept and showed me the click data from the ad test to explain why. That is the first time a vendor has argued with me using evidence.

06Straight answers

Questions worth asking any publisher.

What does it cost to publish a book with you?

Most authors spend between $2,500 and $14,000 depending on which parts they need. A cover and interior for a finished manuscript sits at the low end; full ghostwriting, editing, production, and a launch campaign sits at the high end. Every quote is fixed and itemised before you pay anything, and you can buy a single service without taking a package.

Do I keep my rights and royalties?

All of them. You hold the copyright, the ISBN is registered in your name or your imprint's, retail accounts are created under your identity, and retailers pay you directly. We never take a royalty percentage and never take a cut of your sales.

How long does the whole process take?

From a finished manuscript to books on sale is typically 12 to 16 weeks: editing 6 to 8, design and typesetting 3 to 4, distribution setup 2 to 3. Add roughly five months if you are starting with ghostwriting. Rush schedules are possible and we will tell you honestly what quality costs at speed.

Can you guarantee my book becomes a bestseller?

No, and nobody honest will. What we can do is control the things that actually move sales — category selection, cover, description copy, price, and paid campaigns — and report the numbers weekly so you can see exactly what your money is buying.

What if I only need one thing, like a cover?

That is completely normal. Around 40% of our work is single-service: a cover, a proofread, an audiobook. There is no requirement to buy a bundle, and we will tell you if you are about to pay for a service you do not need.

Are you a traditional publisher or a self-publishing service?

We are a paid service partner for independent authors. You fund production, you own everything, and you keep 100% of your royalties. We do not acquire titles, pay advances, or select books on merit — anyone who does all three while also charging you a fee is worth a second look.
