An investment in your authority.
A professionally published book is not a cost to minimise. It is an asset that earns attention, trust and revenue for years. Here is how we think about the investment, what it includes and how it pays back.
The real question.
It is not what a book costs. It is what waiting is costing you.
You have probably wondered what a book like this costs. We will be direct: publishing a book properly is a serious investment, and we have never tried to be the cheapest option available.
But the more useful question is what the book is worth. A single new client, a keynote booking or a licensing agreement can repay the investment many times over. Waiting another year costs you every one of those opportunities.
The real question is not what a book costs. It is what waiting is costing you.

What shapes the scope of your book.
Your proposal is tailored to the book you need. These are the factors that shape it.
Length and depth
A focused guide and a comprehensive handbook involve different amounts of writing and editing.
Diagrams and visuals
Frameworks, models and illustrations that need to be designed for print.
Research requirements
Books that draw on data, studies or interviews with others need extra verification.
Print quantities
The number of author copies and any bulk orders for events or clients.
Launch ambition
The scale of the launch campaign you want around publication.
Formats
The combination of hardcover, paperback and ebook editions.
An expense, or an asset?
The difference is not the price. It is what the book is built to do.
How a book pays you back.
Authors recover their investment in different ways. Most combine several.
New clients
A book shortens sales conversations and attracts clients who already trust your thinking.
Higher fees
Authors are compared to other authors, not to cheaper alternatives.
Speaking
Organisers book authors, and many buy books for every attendee.
Programmes and courses
Your chapters become the structure of paid programmes.
Licensing and partnerships
Packaged ideas are easier for organisations to adopt and license.
Book sales
Every royalty is yours, though for most experts it is the smallest return.
The cost of each route.
Every route to publication has a price. Only some of them are paid in money.

Questions about the investment.
Why do you not publish your prices?+
Because every book is different. Your proposal is based on the scope you need, and it is confirmed in writing before you commit to anything.
Are there any hidden costs?+
No. Your proposal covers the agreed scope in full. If you later decide to add something, such as extra author copies, we agree it with you in writing first.
Do you take a share of my royalties?+
Never. You keep 100% of your royalties, now and in the future.
Who owns the finished book?+
You do. You hold the rights to your book and everything in it.
Is payment made in stages?+
Your payment schedule is set out in your written proposal and agreed with you before work begins.
What happens if I need to pause?+
Talk to your project lead. Our refunds and cancellations policy explains how pauses and cancellations are handled.
