A warm editorial desk with an open manuscript, reading glasses and stacked books

Pre-Publication

Getting your manuscript ready for the world.

Copy Editing

$3.50 / page

Spelling, grammar and a little syntax from bestselling authors, former journalists and qualified freelance editors. A 150-page manuscript is about $525 — well below industry standard as our way of welcoming you aboard.

Line Editing

included / on request

A closer pass on how each sentence reads. Ideal when the idea is great and the writing is good, but it isn’t quite perfect yet.

Development Editing

$6 / page

A one-on-one coaching relationship with your editor to strengthen structure, plot and genre beats — the changes are made by you, guided by us, and finished with a full line edit.

Proofreading

$1.50–$2.00 / page

Fresh eyes that have never seen your book, checking spelling, grammar, syntax, plot and structure. $1.50/page at manuscript stage, $2.00/page on the printed proof — the last look before publication.

Cover Design

$350

Print and ebook covers including back material, bar code and author photo. Genre-specialist designers craft a thumbnail that snags readers. Refresh it anytime for the same price.

Publication

Turning the finished manuscript into a real, sellable book.

Formatting for Print

$499

Any-size book taken from final manuscript to print-ready via Kindle Direct Publishing, including a physical proof. Trade paperback (and simultaneous ebook) included; hardcover formatting is +$100.

Formatting for Ebook

$199

Formatted for Kindle, Kobo, Draft2Digital, BookBub, Goodreads and more — plus subscription services like Kindle Unlimited. Included free when you publish print simultaneously.

Formatting for Audiobook

from $1,000

Full production, casting and upload to Audible, Amazon and Kobo. An AI-voice production starts around $1,000; premium human-voice productions run $5,000–$10,000 depending on studio time and talent.

Launch & Promotion

Getting your book into readers’ hands — and onto bestseller lists.

Book Launch Package

$485

Signage, 100 business cards, two cover-emblazoned t-shirts, a mug, 25 printed books and full event arrangement at a venue suited to your book. All proceeds from the day are yours.

Getting to #1

$0

A coordinated push using free promotions, social ads and your launch to drive your book toward #1 in its category — so you can honourably call yourself a bestselling author. Included with the launch.

Author Pages

$199

Your own Amazon Author Page set up with all final files. Once complete we step back so you can order books, track sales and manage categories independently.

A note on taxes: As a Canadian-based company we charge 13% HST on our services. International customers who can provide an exemption form will be accommodated — just ask when you’re ready to move forward.
