Can you write my book with me?+
Yes. Ghostwriting is a core Unfoldra Legacy Publishing service. We can work from conversations, notes, recordings, an outline, or a partial draft. We agree on your voice, the structure, review stages, and confidentiality before drafting begins.
Do I need a finished manuscript to get started?+
No. Bring the idea or material you have. We will discuss whether you need a book blueprint, ghostwriting, editorial support, publishing production, or a combination of services.
What does a publishing package cost?+
Every project is quoted after a conversation and a review of the relevant material. Length, manuscript condition, research, formats, design complexity, and revision requirements affect the price. You receive a written scope and payment schedule before work begins.
Does publishing include ghostwriting and editing?+
Only when your proposal includes them. A publishing-production package starts with a manuscript ready for production. Ghostwriting, developmental editing, copyediting, proofreading, and marketing are distinct stages that can be combined into a complete project.
Who owns the book and receives author credit?+
Rights, author credit, confidentiality, files, publishing accounts, and any platform or imprint arrangements are defined in your written agreement. We discuss these details before you commit.
Can you help with Amazon KDP and other publishing platforms?+
We can scope support for preparing files, metadata, account setup, uploads, and proof review for your chosen platforms, including Amazon KDP and IngramSpark where appropriate. Platform eligibility, approval, fees, and distribution options remain subject to their terms.
How long will my project take?+
The schedule depends on the work involved and how quickly source material and author feedback are available. Your proposal includes estimated milestones. A finished manuscript needing production is a different project from a book being ghostwritten from the beginning.
Are printing, advertising, and other outside costs included?+
Your proposal will identify what is included and what is separate. ISBN purchases, permissions, stock images, proofs, printing, shipping, platform charges, advertising, and additional revisions may be separate costs.
Can you guarantee book sales or bookstore placement?+
No. We can help you prepare and promote your book professionally, but sales, reviews, rankings, media coverage, retailer acceptance, and physical bookstore stocking cannot be guaranteed.
How are research and AI-assisted tools handled?+
We discuss the research and writing approach before work begins, including any proposed AI-assisted work. Your preferences, confidentiality requirements, source permissions, and relevant platform rules should be documented in the agreement.
Do I need a membership to keep my book published?+
No. ULP Author Membership is optional, including for authors we publish. Joining, declining or ending a membership does not by itself change your publishing status or the rights and royalties set out in your publishing agreement.
What ongoing author support is available?+
Author is $99/month, Author Pro is $149/month, and Author Elite is $199/month. Higher tiers include the benefits below them. Compare all membership benefits and ask about enrollment. Your inquiry does not authorize a charge.
Can you help with a website or digital presence?+
Yes. Cook Digital Services is now part of Unfoldra Legacy Publishing. We can scope websites, LinkedIn, newsletters, branding and digital support on their own or alongside a publishing package. Explore digital services.
