You do not have to write it
With Scribe Professional and Elite, you never type a chapter. What you say in 10 two-hour content interviews becomes your manuscript, and you review it and give notes.
Page Two alternative
Two strong ways to make a business book. Here is how they differ.
Page Two is a respected boutique publisher run by former traditional publishing people, with polished design and attentive service. Scribe can also write the book for you from interviews, and our prices are published on our pricing page. Here is the honest comparison.

Our position
We believe a business book should start with what it needs to do.
We start with positioning: who the book is for and what it needs to do for your business. Our view is that the ideas, the voice and the rights should all stay with the author.
We will not shorten a timeline to win a deal. We would rather protect the quality of the book than hit an arbitrary date.
“Everything in your book comes out of your mouth and your ideas.”
From the Scribe Professional and Elite agreementsWhy authors choose Scribe
Three reasons we believe Scribe is the right choice
Strategy first

The questions people ask when they are comparing
Is Scribe cheaper than Page Two?
We cannot say, because Page Two does not publish its prices. Its FAQ says it will send a service list with fees. Ask for it, and compare it line by line with ours. Every Scribe package has its price on our pricing page.
Does Scribe do design as well as Page Two?
We believe our books sit next to traditionally published titles without looking different. Ask to see recent covers and interiors on the call. Design is included in every tier.
I want to write my own book. Is Scribe still relevant?
Yes. Scribe Publishing ($4,833 a month for 6 months, $29,000 total) is for authors with a finished manuscript.
I have already talked to Page Two. Can I still talk to you?
Please do. Bring the proposal. Our author strategist will walk through it with you line by line and tell you honestly where each option is stronger.
Why does Scribe cost this much?
Authors come to us when they want a book as polished as any traditionally published title. If you want a book that you can set next to a traditionally published book and not be able to tell the difference in content, structure, or design, this is where you do it. If your primary focus is cost, there are cheaper ways to publish. We are here to make sure it is the best thing you have ever created.
I do not have time for this.
Our process was built for busy people. With Scribe Professional you do 10 content interviews of about two hours each, plus two planning conversations and your reviews of the draft.
Can someone else really capture my voice?
That is our entire business model, and we have been refining it for over a decade. You review the manuscript and give notes at each stage. Scribe Elite includes 10 revision calls.
What if I am not trying to sell books?
In our experience, most of our authors do not write books to sell copies. They write books to land better clients, get speaking invitations, build authority, and leave something lasting. This is about what your book unlocks, not how many copies move on Amazon.
Will my book be in bookstores?
It can be. If you want a print run for bookstores or events, ask us for a written quote. We will also be honest about what those dollars buy. We usually recommend spending on the channels that reach your readers.
Still deciding? Talk it through with our team.
