THE DETAILS, UP FRONT

How your quote takes shape.

01

Tell us about the book.

Share your genre, approximate word count, manuscript stage, and preferred formats.

02

Define the scope.

We discuss the work, files, review stages, and any additional requirements.

03

Review the proposal.

Your written quote identifies the fees, payment milestones, scope, and estimated timetable.

04

Begin with agreement.

Work starts after the proposal is accepted and the agreed materials and initial payment are received.

About revisions and timing

A revision round is one consolidated set of feedback within the approved brief. New concepts, added chapters, or changes to an approved direction may require a new quote. Estimates begin once the required material and agreed initial payment are received; author feedback and third-party processing may extend the calendar. Any change to cost or scope requires written agreement.
