What is included in the $499 Author Launch Kit?
The one-time $499 service package combines five services: publishing support on Amazon KDP, Barnes & Noble and IngramSpark; a professional author website; book listing and SEO optimization; six custom social media post designs; and Facebook and Instagram marketing setup. We confirm your manuscript readiness, book formats, website scope and setup requirements before starting.
Is $499 a one-time price or a monthly payment?
It is a one-time service fee for the agreed launch kit. Ongoing marketing management is not included. Domain registration, website hosting, paid advertising, printing, shipping, purchased ISBNs and any platform fees are separate when applicable. We review these with you before work begins.
Can you help if my book is already published?
Yes. Tell us where it is published and what you already have. We can review the listing, author website and launch assets and confirm how the package fits your existing book.
Do I need a finished manuscript?
A completed, prepared manuscript is the best starting point for publication. If you are still writing or need editing, cover design or formatting, tell us in your enquiry. We review the files and confirm any additional preparation needed before you commit.
Will my book be published on all three platforms?
The package includes support for Amazon KDP, Barnes & Noble and IngramSpark. We confirm eligible accounts, suitable formats, file requirements and distribution settings for your book. Publication is subject to each platform’s review. Existing exclusivity commitments, such as KDP Select for an ebook, may affect where that format can be distributed.
What will my author website include?
We plan a professional, mobile-friendly website that introduces you, showcases your book and directs readers to purchase links and contact information. The page count, content, domain and hosting arrangements are confirmed before work begins.
Does marketing setup include running paid ads?
The kit includes six social post designs and Facebook and Instagram marketing setup. Ongoing posting, campaign management and advertising spend are not part of the one-time package. We can discuss those next steps separately.
Do I keep my book rights and accounts?
Yes. Your book rights and publishing accounts remain yours. You review and approve the work before submission. You complete identity, tax and payment verification directly with the platforms.
How do we get started, and how long does it take?
Send the form with a short overview of your book. We review your needs and agree the scope and timeline with you before work begins. Timing depends on manuscript readiness, your approvals and platform review. You can start with a short overview of your book.
