Books Written With Scribe
Gui Costin
The Dakota Way
Calls his two books the single best thing he has ever done for the business, and for the people who read them.
Welcome back to Scribe
You saw what the book did for them. Was it worth it? Ask them.
Gui Costin, Eric Jorgenson and Candler Cook each wrote their book with Scribe. Here is the full clip, and below it, what happened to their businesses afterward.
Three Scribe authors on whether the book was worth it. Recorded for Author Hour, Scribe's podcast.
You do not have time to write a book. You do not have to.
Gui Costin, Eddy Arriola and Hadley Ott each thought the same thing. Their books exist because a team did the writing and they did the talking.
Three Scribe authors on time. About 50 hours of interviews is all a Scribe book asks of you.
Why not just self-publish? These authors tried.
Neil Thanedar, Devin Fish and Candler Cook looked hard at doing it alone. Here is why they did not, in their own words.
Three Scribe authors on self-publishing versus doing the book with a team.
"I would have hired Scribe in a heartbeat."
Erik Huberman self-published The Hawke Method and spent about $350,000 doing it. It became a USA Today bestseller. He still says he would have done it differently.

What are you actually paying for?
Shaan Patel pitched 100 publishers and got 100 rejections. His Scribe book doubled Prep Expert's annual revenue, and he can point to the launch date on the chart.

Will it sound like me? Will anyone care?
Stephen Butler and Jim Sholler had the same two worries. One book bridged Stephen into a Head of AI role. Jim's helped a reader save his father-in-law's life.

The book does the work for you.
David Burkus published four books with traditional houses before writing Best Team Ever with Scribe. Guided Author to on sale everywhere in 11 months, and a speaking business that runs on it.

Own all of your own story.
David Goggins turned down a multiple six-figure traditional deal to keep his book. Can't Hurt Me, published with Scribe, has sold more than 3 million copies. He owns every one.

"They just stumbled across it."
Jake Falcon could not find a book he trusted enough to hand his clients, so he wrote one. A prospect found the audiobook on Spotify with no ads and became a client. The book became his new website.

Be honest with yourself
What's holding you back from writing the book?
Every author on this page had one of these. Tap yours, then talk to a real expert about it. No script, no pressure.
Neither did Gui Costin or Eddy Arriola. A Scribe book asks for interviews, not writing sessions: a team writes, edits, designs and publishes while you run your life. You approve every word.
Good. You are the expert, and that is the only part nobody can hire. Capturing your voice on the page is the craft we have refined over 3,000 books. You co-create a voice brief and review sample chapters before anything is final.
It does, and the pricing is public. Publishing a finished manuscript starts at $29,000. Our most senior ghostwriting is $135,000 and up. There are monthly payment plans, and you own 100% of the book, the rights, the royalties and the ISBN. Shaan Patel, Chad Willardson and Michael Mogill each traced far more than that back to the book.
You could. Erik Huberman did, spent about $350,000, hit the USA Today list, and still says he would have hired Scribe. Neil Thanedar and Devin Fish looked at it hard and hired the specialists instead.
No one can promise you a result, so we do not. What we can show you is the list above: new clients, a doubled company, a film option, a Head of AI role, a reader who saved a life. Tell us what you want the book to do, and we will tell you honestly whether a book is the right tool.
That is normal, and nothing expired. Most people who reach this point are closer than they think. Call and tell us what held you back. We would rather hear the objection than lose the book.
