Before You Reach Out
What should I include in my message?
Tell us about your book idea (fiction, non-fiction, children's book, poetry, biography), where you are in the process (just an idea, partial manuscript, complete draft), what kind of support you're looking for, and your timeline or deadline if you have one. The more details you share, the better we can help.
Do I need a complete manuscript to work with you?
Not at all! We work with authors at every stage—from initial ideas to completed manuscripts. Whether you need help developing your concept, writing from scratch, or polishing a finished draft, we can support you.
How much do your services cost?
Every project is different, so we provide customized quotes based on your specific needs, book length, and timeline. After you contact us, we'll schedule a consultation to understand your project and provide transparent pricing options. Visit our Services page for starting price ranges.
How long does it take to publish a book?
A typical project takes 4-8 months from initial consultation to published book, depending on the service and project complexity. Picture books often take 3-5 months, while comprehensive ghostwriting projects may take 6-9 months. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your consultation.
Can you help if I'm writing in Amharic?
Absolutely! We specialize in bilingual publishing and provide full support for books written in Amharic, English, or both languages. Our team includes native Amharic speakers who can assist with editing, translation, and cultural authenticity.
