Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can we start?+
Most engagements begin within 7–10 business days. If you have a launch window, tell us — we routinely reprioritize for urgent releases.
Do you work with self-published authors?+
Yes. Self-published, hybrid, and traditionally published — the craft is the same, the platform doesn't matter.
Do you guarantee bestseller status?+
We don't. Anyone who does is selling you something. We do guarantee senior strategy, cinematic craft, and campaign transparency.
How involved will I be?+
As involved as you want. Some authors approve monthly; others review every asset. We shape the cadence around you.
What if my book is already out?+
Backlist campaigns are one of our specialties. A great book keeps earning — most just need a second launch.
Do you work with fiction and non-fiction?+
Both. Roughly 60% of our clients are fiction authors; the rest are non-fiction, memoir, and thought leaders.
Can you work with my existing publisher?+
Frequently. We're often brought in alongside a traditional publisher's marketing team to extend and amplify what they're already doing.
What does a typical engagement cost?+
Most authors invest between $750 and $60,000 depending on scope and duration. Our pricing page breaks down the tiers.
Do you handle PR?+
Yes — podcast tours, media relations, and long-lead placements are all part of our Professional and Elite tiers.
How is reporting handled?+
You get a weekly written update, a monthly video walk-through with your strategist, and a live dashboard 24/7.
