Clear pricing, clear scope

Book creation begins with a finished ebook.

Every project includes a finished ebook delivered as a professionally formatted PDF. Online-store publishing is optional; when you add it, print and ebook availability are handled as a separate publishing upgrade.

The core product is a finished ebook (PDF) you can use and share. Publishing is never implied or folded into the $249 standard price.

Your book and online stores

Three details deserve a clear answer.

Your finished ebook

You own your finished book and can use or share the PDF as needed.

Your publishing account and listing

When you add publishing, the default is your own publishing account, so the account stays yours, the listing is yours, and you control it under the platform’s own rules.

An alternative by request

If you prefer not to set up your own account, we can publish through ours. You still own your book and its content. You would not own our publishing account or independently control the retail listing.

Fiction uses standard pricing, too. If you have a story you want to make, begin with a conversation about the first focused book.
