Services FAQ

Answers to questions about our publishing services and process.

• What services can be combined together?
  Most of our clients work with multiple services in an integrated package. Common combinations include ghostwriting plus editorial development, or design plus distribution. We typically recommend a comprehensive approach that covers writing, editing, design, and distribution as a cohesive project. Discuss your manuscript stage and goals during your consultation.
• How long does the editing process take?
  Editorial timelines vary based on manuscript length and depth of revision required. Developmental editing typically spans 6-12 weeks, while copy editing averages 4-8 weeks. We work in close collaboration with you, providing feedback in stages and incorporating revisions thoughtfully. Expedited timelines are available for projects with specific deadlines.
• Can you help if my manuscript isn't finished?
  Absolutely. Many of our clients begin work at various stages—some with completed drafts, others with outlines and chapters in progress. Our coaching and ghostwriting services are designed for authors who need support completing their manuscript. We can help structure your ideas, develop compelling chapters, and bring your vision to completion.
• What about confidentiality and NDA protection?
  Confidentiality is paramount. 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.
• Do you retain any rights to the published book?
  No. You retain 100% of publishing rights and intellectual property. We are a service provider, not a publisher seeking equity or ongoing royalties. All copyrights, publishing rights, and commercial benefits belong entirely to you. You maintain complete creative control throughout the process.
• How do you determine pricing?
  Pricing is determined through consultation based on manuscript scope, service selection, timeline, and complexity. We provide detailed project proposals with transparent breakdowns. Unlike templated pricing, we believe every manuscript deserves customized evaluation. Request your consultation to discuss investment for your specific project.
