General

Yes. Book in a Clarity Call with our Director, Georgia Kirke, to discuss the best level of support for your goals.

Yes. It needs a careful plan and a structure, and more content will be needed to fill any gaps. This can be a smart approach to becoming a published author without reinventing the wheel. Book a Clarity Call to explore how this could work for you.

Whilst our team does the heavy lifting, your input is crucial to create content that’s authentically yours. Through calls and consultations, you’ll provide the raw material that we shape into a polished final product. You’ll also review drafts at set points. We provide short explainer videos, checklists and follow-up to guide your review, directing your focus.

We use AI occasionally as an assistive tool only where it adds to quality and efficiency, but never to generate written content. Our focus is on ensuring your message is presented to the highest quality and in your specific voice, so all written content is produced by our expert copywriters and editors.

We’re also partnered with Cliobooks.ai, the world’s first AI consultant for non-fiction books. We provide post-production services to Clio’s authors, including proofreading, design, publishing support, book launch campaigns, ongoing marketing campaigns, and training and consultancy.”

Books

Your book isn’t just meant to compete with others, but rather, it’s designed to compel a specific audience to act. In your Kickstarter Call, we’ll help you develop your book’s purpose, theme, audience, topic, and structure. From there, we can check what’s currently available online, but remember, what matters most is the unique value your book brings to your intended audience.

It is broken down into five modules: Plan, Produce, Publish, Promote, and Propel.

Your Content Developer will ask you pointed questions to steer your book in the right direction.

Your dedicated Editor will then write up your spoken word as a book manuscript. Once you’ve approved the manuscript, it will go through professional proofreading and design. You’ll then receive publishing support (self or traditional publication).

You have one main point of contact throughout the process to keep the project on track and a go-to for any questions.

You’ll have a complete book strategy, production, publication and promotion team behind you; we love working with purpose-driven leaders on interesting topics. Hopefully the feeling is mutual, as reflected in our Google page reviews!

No worries! We’re here for you. We’ll do all the writing for you. All you need to do is participate in your calls with your Content Developer and speak your content based on their prompts. It’s a convenient and time-effective way to become an author, even with zero writing skills!

Our contracts are usually set to 12 months to ensure content coherence. But we understand your personal circumstances and will provide the support you need to ensure a smooth process. We believe focusing on completing your content calls consistently will save you a lot of time in the future. We are fully equipped to guide first-time authors throughout the process.

We start with staple questions that all book chapters need to cover, and then tailor your Content Consultations based on a number of factors like your communication style, challenges, and more. The goal is to make the best use of your time and draw out your most compelling content whilst ensuring you have an enjoyable experience.

Self-publishing is the process of publishing your content yourself, at your own expense, without the use of a traditional publisher. Typically this means publishing and selling your book on a platform like Amazon KDP or Lulu Direct.

Hybrid publishing is a mix of self-publishing and traditional publishing. A hybrid publisher takes an upfront fee and assists with some marketing and distribution.

Traditional publishing is using a publishing house to help distribute your book. They typically take care of the proofreading, design and wider distribution of your book.

The right fit for you is a strategic decision that depends on your goals. We will help you determine which is best. Learn more about the three routes to publishing here.

Whilst we can’t guarantee a response from any specific publisher, we do have relationships with many publishers and will always send your submission directly to the right ones after establishing the business case and drafting a marketing strategy with you.

Possibly. At the time of writing, there is no tax withholding for U.K. authors to sell their books via U.S. platforms. The Amazon form will inform us when your account is set up, if you self-publish. Each country has its own laws around tax from book profits, so this is something we would discuss in more detail once you start. If you are traditionally publishing, you can discuss this with your publisher.

Your book is designed to create massive credibility, and the return comes from how you leverage that.

Each time we discuss our support with a future author, we ask questions about their business, goals and audience before we ask about their book topic. This helps us to determine that our authors all have a reasonable chance of achieving their goals including a financial return in their first year.

The selection of potential foreword contributors is part of the strategic planning once some content is recorded. The goal is to have someone well-known to the readers or with an impressive title to lend more credibility to the book and the author. We have examples and guidance notes to help you.

“Bolt-on support” refers to any extra services you may want to add, such as creating a Kindle version or audiobook, extra design work for images, additional content recordings and second editions, and additional marketing content. These can be added as you go and are not necessary to confirm at the start.

Our done-for-you services contain everything you need to produce, publish and launch your book. We also provide blog and podcast services to help you continue to build your thought leadership and further your reach.
