Do you do collaborative books?

Yes, we have published collaborative books.

How do the other authors get credit for the collaboration book?

Credit for co-authors in a collaboration book depends on the book’s primary author or project leader. Typically, we coordinate closely with the lead author, and while we ensure each co-author is recognized, compensation and credit specifics are managed by the book’s owner.

Will the co-author's name be on the book cover too? How does it work?

Whether a co-author’s name appears on the cover is up to the lead author’s preference. We can accommodate different arrangements, such as listing co-authors on the front cover, back cover, or within the book’s credits, depending on what works best for the project.

What other platforms do you use to publish a book aside from Amazon?

We primarily use Amazon but can explore other platforms like Barnes & Noble or Apple Books, depending on your goals.

Do you do audiobooks?

Yes, we offer audiobook creation in your authentic voice—without requiring you to read the entire book. Using advanced AI, we ensure the narration sounds just like you. We also handle publishing on major platforms, including Audible, Spotify, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and more.

Can we put a real person’s name in terms of biography?

Yes, as long as you have permission from the person or the estate if they’re deceased.

Most books range from 100 to 300 pages, but there’s no strict requirement.
