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.
