Pricing Adjusts If: The manuscript exceeds ~50,000 words The book has higher visual or structural complexity Substantial editorial rework is required before design can begin MANUSCRIPT READINESS I only take projects that are structurally ready for production, or that have a clear professional editing plan. If your manuscript is still evolving or hasn't been edited, we'll determine the right next step before moving into design. REQUIRED FIRST STEP: BOOK CLARITY CONSULTATION A 30-minute paid consultation is required before I quote or schedule work. I review your manuscript and materials in advance so we can confirm: Scope class (baseline vs custom) Timeline feasibility Production pathway (trim size, paperback/hardcover, KDP vs Ingram) Discoverability basics (categories, keywords, positioning) Budget alignment and next steps If you're still drafting or unsure what you need, the consultation will give you a clear next-step plan.

This package is for authors who have an interior already in production—or who need a finished cover before other work begins.
