If you value quality over quantity, want personalized attention, and are committed to creating a book that stands out, you belong with us. Our selective roster ensures every author receives the dedicated focus their work deserves.

We accept approximately 40-50 new authors per year. This limited roster is intentional — it allows us to provide each author with personalized, dedicated attention. We believe in selective excellence rather than mass-market volume. This exclusivity ensures your project receives the resources and expertise it deserves.

Unlike traditional publishers that operate on volume, Writing Prime prioritizes selective excellence and personalized service. Authors retain 100% of publishing rights and intellectual property. Our leadership team includes industry veterans with decades of experience. We maintain comprehensive confidentiality with NDA protection. Every service is bespoke, customized to your manuscript and vision.

Writing Prime was founded in 2012 and has published over 500 titles since inception. We have over a decade of proven success with elite authors, award-winning publications, and a 100% author satisfaction rate.

Absolutely. Many clients work with a single service or select services that match their specific needs. Some come for developmental editing only, others for ghostwriting, and some for complete packages. During your consultation, we'll discuss which services align with your manuscript's stage and your vision.

Yes. Executive ghostwriting is one of our signature services. Our distinguished ghostwriters specialize in transforming business leaders' expertise and ideas into compelling, polished prose. The process is completely confidential with comprehensive NDA protection. Your ideas and voice drive the manuscript — we provide the writing craft.

Our bespoke book design includes cover design, interior layout and typesetting, custom typography, paper stock selection, binding consultation, and all production-ready files. We view every page as a design asset. Our goal is creating a physical object that reflects luxury and aligns with your book's narrative and market positioning.

Author branding positions you as a thought leader and establishes your legacy. We develop positioning strategy, coordinate media relations, identify speaking opportunities, and create visibility that extends beyond your book. This comprehensive approach ensures your authority and message reach your ideal audience.

Timeline varies based on manuscript stage and services selected. Editing alone averages 4-6 months. Full publishing (development, editing, design, production) typically spans 8-14 months. We can accommodate expedited timelines for projects with specific deadlines. During consultation, we provide a customized timeline based on your needs.

Many of our clients begin at various manuscript stages. Our coaching and ghostwriting services support authors who need help completing their work. We can help structure your ideas, develop compelling chapters, and bring your vision to completion before moving into editorial and production phases.

You'll be deeply involved. Editing is a collaborative process. You receive detailed feedback, participate in revision rounds, have check-in calls with your editor, and maintain creative control throughout. We view our editors as your partners in refining your manuscript to its highest potential.

Yes. You work directly with your assigned editor, designer, and project coordinator. We assign a dedicated team to each project. This ensures consistency, deep understanding of your vision, and personalized service throughout the publishing journey. Direct communication with our team is a core principle of our approach.

Pricing is customized through consultation based on manuscript length, scope of services, complexity, timeline, and specific requirements. We provide detailed proposals with transparent breakdowns. We believe every manuscript deserves individualized evaluation rather than templated pricing. Request your consultation to discuss investment for your specific project.

Yes, absolutely. You retain 100% of publishing rights and intellectual property. Writing Prime is a service provider, not a publisher seeking equity or ongoing royalties. All copyrights, commercial benefits, and publishing rights belong entirely to you. You maintain complete creative control throughout the process.

No. We do not take royalties, claim publishing rights, or receive ongoing compensation from your book sales. You pay a one-time project fee for our services. After publication, all revenue from your book is yours. This model ensures our incentives align with delivering excellent service rather than controlling your work's future.

We offer flexible payment arrangements. Typically, projects are structured with an initial deposit, milestone payments throughout the publishing process, and final payment upon completion. We work with you to create a payment schedule that fits your timeline and budget. Discuss terms during your consultation.

Complete confidentiality is sacred. All Writing Prime projects are protected by comprehensive non-disclosure agreements. Your manuscript, ideas, and author information remain absolutely confidential. We have a proven track record of discretion working with executives, entrepreneurs, and public figures who require privacy.

Yes. We support anonymous publication and pen names. Some of our clients prefer privacy for personal, professional, or confidentiality reasons. We manage all arrangements necessary to protect your privacy while bringing your work to publication. Discuss your confidentiality preferences during consultation.

All Writing Prime projects are governed by comprehensive service agreements and non-disclosure agreements.
