Hear It From Them
The leaders who trusted us with the book.
The Elite Partnership
Everything, handled.
Interview three writers from our most senior circle, bestselling and award-winning, and choose the voice that becomes yours.
A dedicated publishing manager and full creative team carry the book from first idea to launch, while you stay on the road.
Have your writer come to you for three working days. An option reserved for Elite.
We draw your thinking out in conversation, then research so every argument is tight. The only Scribe service that includes research.
Cover, interior, and a produced audiobook, in all four formats, refined over ten rounds of revision.
A custom marketing plan and discretionary budget, plus submissions to Kirkus and major awards.
How It Works
From first conversation to launch day.
Your dedicated project lead runs the timeline, coordinates every team, and keeps you in the loop from day one to launch.
We match your project to our Elite circle, and you interview three writers who have already reviewed your idea. You pick the fit.
Optionally, your writer spends three working days with you in person to build your book roadmap and capture your core ideas.
Forty hours of interviews and twenty of research become a full manuscript in your voice, with ten rounds of revision.
Cover, layout, audiobook, copyright, ISBNs, and global distribution across Amazon, Audible, Barnes and Noble, and more.
A custom marketing plan, a $25,000 discretionary budget, and award submissions put your book in front of the right audience.
An Option Reserved for Elite
Your writer, at your table.
The book comes fastest when the thinking flows freely. So Elite includes the option to bring your writer to you, three working days in your city or theirs, to map the book and capture your best ideas face to face.
The Object Itself
A book you’ll be proud to hand someone.
Cover design informed by real market research. Interior layout crafted by hand. Hardcover, paperback, eBook, and audiobook, each made to the standard of the best books on your shelf.
Your Audiobook, Included
Heard, as well as read.
Audiobooks are one of the fastest-growing areas of publishing. Yours gives your audience another way to spend time with your ideas, reaching the busy professionals, commuters, and multitaskers who prefer to listen.
Tell us the voice you hear when you imagine your book read to millions. We are networked with thousands of narrators and find one that fits your voice and knows your industry. Prefer to narrate it yourself? We prepare you personally for the best possible performance.
A director sits in throughout the reading to keep narration on its marks, pronunciation accurate, and pacing right. Every audiobook then goes through detailed post-production handled by two engineers: an editor and mastering engineer, and a quality-control and spot-check engineer.
Distributed on over fifty platforms including Audible, Amazon, Apple Books, Apple Music, and Spotify. All sales tracked in one dashboard. You keep full ownership and every royalty.
Over 45% of readers now prefer audiobooks to physical books. Without an audio version, you may never reach them.
Is Elite Right for You?
Made for a specific kind of author.
This is for you if…
- You are a founder, executive, or recognized expert, and your influence has outgrown your visibility.
- You want a definitive, legacy-grade book, produced to the highest standard in publishing.
- You are time-starved and want a team that handles everything so you can stay focused on your work.
- You see your book as a brand and legacy asset, not just a credential.
This is not for you if…
- You want to write the manuscript yourself.
- You are early in your career, without an audience or platform yet.
- You are looking for the most affordable way to publish.
- You are writing fiction.
A book is one of the most powerful lead generators for businesses out there.
What a Book Unlocks
It was never really about the book.
The introduction that arrives before you do.
A lead source that works while you sleep.
The credential that raises your speaking fee.
The thinking, preserved past your calendar.
What Our Authors Say
In their words.
The single most important book on parenting I’ve read.
I’ve gotten everything I wanted out of this endeavor. Definitely ranks as a success in my book.
My writer held my hand through the entire process. She’s an angel.
The Investment
A high-end writer alone runs $100,000 to $150,000, for the manuscript only. Elite covers the writing, the publishing, the audiobook, global distribution, and the launch. And you keep every word, and every royalty.
Questions
Good to know.
Yes. You are paired with a writer from our Elite circle, we develop your voice through roadmapping and multiple voice checks, and you can meet in person to deepen the fit. If the voice ever drifts, we course correct. You stay in control the whole way.
You interview three writers and choose. In more than three thousand books we have rarely had to reassign, but if it is not working, we will pair you with someone else at no extra cost.
You keep one hundred percent ownership, all of your royalties, and full creative control, and you get a professionally produced book that is strategically launched, not just printed. Traditional publishers take your rights, your timeline, and most of your royalties.
It is discretionary. Once your manuscript is done, we build the plan together: PR, a podcast tour, influencer sends, launch events, or targeted campaigns. We spend it where it actually moves your audience.
Most Elite books take twelve to sixteen months. In-person working sessions can front-load the process and move faster if you have a launch moment in mind.
The typical investment is $135,000, scoped to your project and paid in equal installments over about fifteen months. Many high-end writers charge that much for the manuscript alone. Elite covers the writing, publishing, audiobook, global distribution, and launch marketing.
