Hear It From Them
The leaders who trusted us with the book.
What's Included
Everything, handled.
Two people in your corner: a publishing manager who runs the project, and a book coach who is your strategic and editorial partner throughout the writing.
Four sessions with your coach define your objectives, audience, voice, and structure, and leave you with a custom table of contents to write from.
A step-by-step writing course, a private author community for accountability, and on-demand coaching sessions whenever you get stuck.
Four intensive revision sessions to tighten every section and build the strongest version of your book before it enters publishing.
Your finished manuscript is evaluated by our Executive Editor and structurally edited by a developmental editor, then copyedited and proofread.
Cover design with market testing, all four formats including a produced audiobook, global distribution, a bestseller launch, and 100% ownership of every word and royalty.

You write, supported by a step-by-step course, a private author community, and on-demand coaching sessions whenever you get stuck.
Four intensive revision sessions tighten every section into the strongest version of your book before publishing.

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.

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.

The Investment
Experienced book coaches alone charge $250 to $400 an hour, and professional publishing and launch can run $25,000 to $40,000 on their own. Guided Author bundles the coaching, the editing, the publishing, and the launch. And you keep every word, and every royalty.
Questions
Good to know.
Only if you want it to. The 15-month timeline is built to accommodate real life, jobs, families, and travel, and most authors finish faster. The main variable is how long it takes you to write; once your manuscript is done, publishing is the standard six to eight months.
That is expected. Your coach is there for mid-draft problem-solving, you have on-demand coaching sessions to use whenever you need, the course walks you through step by step, and the community keeps you from feeling isolated. If you want more support, you can always add coaching.
Most coaches meet a few times, give notes, and leave you to figure out the rest. Guided Author is personalized strategy, direct support while you write, deep revisions after your draft, and full world-class publishing, with professionals in every lane from start to finish.
Yes, one hundred percent. You own your IP, your manuscript, your creative assets, your royalties, and your publishing accounts. We are here to help you make it better and bring it to life at the highest level, not to take anything.
You can move into Scribe Professional or Elite at any point. We apply your remaining balance to the upgraded service, and your roadmap, North Star, and progress all carry forward, so you never start from scratch.
$44,000, paid in equal installments over 15 months. It bundles a decade-plus-experienced book coach, ten coaching sessions across strategy, writing, and revision, a full editorial evaluation and structural edit, complete publishing, and a bestseller launch.
