Generous books get passed along
A book written to help reads like the best hour of a conversation with you. In our experience, that kind of book gets recommended, and recommendations are where the best clients come from.
Peaceful Profits alternative
Two ways to make a business book. Here is how they differ.
Peaceful Profits describes itself as a full-service publishing partner that specializes in writing, launching, and selling books. Our approach: books meant to earn trust with readers, clients, and peers for years. Here is how to decide which you want.

Books by some of our 1,600+ authors. CEOs, doctors, athletes, entrepreneurs. Every project is custom.
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
It brings in clients
Michael Mogill’s book brought him $5 million in new business over two years. Will Leach’s book made $400,000 in its first six months.
It outlasts the campaign
A good book sits on a shelf, gets handed to a prospect, and keeps working.

Before you sign
Questions to ask any publisher before you sign
Bring these to every publisher you are considering, including us. We believe the answers belong in writing, in the agreement you sign.
Rights and ownership
- Who owns the copyright, which rights does the publisher hold, and for how long?
- What share of net receipts do I receive, in each format, and how are net receipts calculated?
- Who owns the ISBNs, and whose retail accounts will my book be listed in?
- If I leave, do I keep my listing, my reviews and my sales history? Which final files do I get back, and can I use them as they are?
Money
- Can I have a written quote that lists every service and its price?
- Which services in the quote are optional, and what does each one cost on its own?
- What could cost extra after I sign, and do you need my written approval first?
- What is the payment schedule, and what happens to payments if the project runs long?
People and process
- Who writes the manuscript, you or me? If you write it, can I speak with the writer before I commit, and what happens if they leave?
- Who is my single point of contact, and how many people will work on my manuscript?
- How many interviews and editing rounds are included, and how will I know they happened?
Results and reporting
- What sales reports will I receive, and how often?
- Which bookstores will carry the book, and what does a print run for them cost me?
- Which media placements are editorial coverage, and which are paid or contributed content? How is each one labeled?
- Can I speak with three authors you published in the last two years?
Ask us every one of these, too.

The questions people ask when they are comparing
Is Scribe cheaper than Peaceful Profits?
We cannot say, because Peaceful Profits does not publish its prices. Ask them for a written quote, and compare it line by line with ours. Every Scribe package has its price on our pricing page.
Can a Scribe book generate leads?
Yes. Every package includes launch marketing: a targeted Amazon best seller strategy, A+ Content for your Amazon listing, social graphics and email templates. Scribe Elite adds a marketing strategy session and up to $25,000 toward in-house marketing services.
How long is a Scribe book?
“The majority of our books come in under 60k words.” (our agreement) Each package’s word limit, and the price of any extra words, is in its agreement on our pricing page.
I have already talked to Peaceful Profits. 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.
Tell us about your book and your goals, and we will show you exactly how Scribe would approach it.
