Once your book is live
and we complete your project,
you'll walk away with the following...
Your Formatted Manuscript
We professionally format your approved interior manuscript file, prepare it into a fully upload-able KDP-ready PDF, upload it into KDP, and provide you with the file.
Your Full Book Cover
We design a professional book cover based on your ideas and your story, provide samples for you to choose from, prepare the upload-able KDP-ready cover, upload it to KDP, and provide you with the file.
Your e-Book File
If you choose Tier 2 or Tier 3, we will prepare and upload your Kindle e-Book files and provide them to you upon completion.
Your Metadata
We also research, write, and code all metadata related to your story and provide it to you upon completion.
Your Republishing Ability
Since all professionally formatted and prepared files are provided to you upon completion of service, you have the power and flexibility to republish your work with any printer or publisher at any time.
Your Control
You will have all of your files upon completion of service, so you remain in control. No file hostage. No dependency. No coming back to ask for what you've already paid for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I keep my rights?
Yes. You keep 100% of your rights, royalties, and files. Your book is published under your own Amazon KDP account, and Amazon pays you directly.
Are your prices competitive?
Yes. Professional editing, formatting, and cover design services often cost several thousand dollars separately. Our packages combine multiple services into one complete done-for-you process.
How long does it take?
Tier 1: 7 days
Tier 2: 10 days
Tier 3: 21 days
Turnaround begins once we receive your manuscript and completed intake form.
Do your payment plans require a credit check or financing company? No. Our payment plans are handled directly through Michael Shank Ministries. There are no credit checks, no finance companies, no interest charges, no hidden fees, and no lengthy contract paperwork. We keep the process simple and personal.
Do you edit my manuscript?
Yes. Tier 1 includes a basic spelling and grammar review. Tier 2 includes a double-pass collegiate-level copy edit. Tier 3 includes a triple-pass professional-level copy edit.
Developmental editing and ghostwriting are not included.
What if I don’t like the cover designs?
Every package includes multiple cover samples to choose from. If none feel right, we’ll discuss your ideas further and create additional concepts at no extra cost. Your approval matters.
Do I need my own Amazon KDP account?
Yes. Your book is published under your own KDP account so royalties go directly to you. We guide you through setup if needed.
What about ISBNs?
All packages use Amazon KDP’s free ISBN unless you prefer to provide your own.
Do I have to buy inventory or printed copies?
No. Amazon uses print-on-demand technology. Books are printed only when ordered, and Amazon ships them directly to customers.
Will my book be available worldwide?
Yes. Amazon distributes books globally through its marketplace network.
What if I already have a KDP account?
Perfect. We simply use your existing account.
Do you only work with Christian authors?
No. While Christian publishing is our specialty, we also work with memoirs, fiction, children’s books, non-fiction, and other genres.
What’s not included?
Line editing, developmental editing, ghostwriting, marketing campaigns, and human-narrated audiobooks are not included.
What about audiobooks?
Tier 3 includes Amazon Virtual Voice audiobook setup if available through Amazon at the time of production. These are AI-narrated audiobooks distributed through Audible and Amazon.
What happens if I cancel after work begins?
Because work begins immediately, refunds after project start are limited to 50% of the package price.

Yes. Receive 5% off your package when paying in full by Venmo, Cash App, or Check by Mail. Payment plans and discount pricing cannot be combined.
