The creative part is done. Now the wall.

You’ve poured your heart into writing your book, organizing the illustrations, and perfecting your story. But now you are facing a wall of technical publishing logistics:

  • “How do I format flat PDFs so Amazon KDP or IngramSpark don't reject them?”
  • “What happens if my illustrator left mid-project and the files are incomplete?”
  • “How do I calculate page counts, bleed margins, ISBNs, and keywords?”

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Our core services

Service 01

Standard “Manuscript-to-Market” Management

For authors with a finished manuscript who need an expert to build their team and run their launch.

  • Timeline & milestone tracking

    A custom 24-week production roadmap.

  • Vendor sourcing

    We source, vet, and manage professional freelance editors and cover designers on your behalf.

  • Distribution setup

    Complete account creation and metadata optimization on Amazon KDP and IngramSpark.

Service 02

Self-Publishing Production Rescue

Did your illustrator leave you stranded? Are your files stuck in a flat PDF format? We specialize in fixing publishing emergencies.

  • Technical file auditing

    Re-engineering flat or broken files to meet strict commercial printer specifications.

  • Page-count troubleshooting

    Restructuring layouts to comply with printer physics — like Amazon's strict 24-page minimum for color books.

  • Art continuity management

    Finding, vetting, and managing replacement artists who can seamlessly mimic your book's existing illustration style.

Clear, predictable pricing

We believe in complete transparency. We operate strictly on a flat project fee basis. You will never be surprised by a ticking hourly clock, allowing you to budget your book launch with total confidence.

Package 2

The Children's Book Production Package

For fully illustrated, high-color picture books.

$1,800 – $3,000 USD

Specialized children's layout configuration, precise bleed and margin calibration for high-color printing, multi-platform setup, and wholesale catalog registration.

Package 3

The Production Rescue Add-On

For projects with missing assets, flat PDFs, or lost artists.
