Books, written into the future.

eBook writing, illustration and KDP publishing.

A small house of writers, illustrators and publishers. We take ideas from the napkin, the voice memo and the half-finished draft, and return them as books worth holding: ghostwritten, illustrated, typeset, and live on Amazon KDP and Apple Books. The author's name on the cover. One hundred per cent of the copyright in the author's hands.

02

We call you back.

A named representative reaches out within 24 hours to introduce the team and book a discovery call.

03

The discovery call.

Thirty minutes on voice, length, timeline and reader. We ask awkward questions so the manuscript doesn't have to.

Named writer, delivery calendar, plain-English contract, one figure. No work starts until you sign.

05

Drafts and revisions.

Fortnightly batches to your inbox. Mark them up freely. Revisions happen inside the same batch, at no extra charge.

VLetters Received

What our authors say.

A small selection of notes we have kept, with permission.

“

The most useful thing they did was tell me, in the second call, that my draft was actually two books in a trench coat. They were right. We split it. Both came out the better for it.

★★★★★
E. SarmontAuthor · New York To Paris
“

I came in with three watercolours and a story my daughter had narrated into my phone. They turned it into a real picture book, on Amazon, in print, with my name on the spine.

★★★★★
B. NorwoodAuthor · Bella Girl And Monty Dog
“

I have hired ghostwriters before. This was the first time the manuscript actually sounded like me, not like a thoughtful person impersonating me.

★★★★★
D. LeedyAuthor · Real Estate For Your Clients
“

The KDP file passed validation the first time. After two years of rejections from a different service, this alone was worth the fee. The cover sold the book; the typesetting kept the reader.

InterludeWhy us

Seven promises, signed into every contract.

Not a comparison. A list of commitments we sign into every contract, and the small proof beside each one.

  1. I.

    The author keeps one hundred percent of the rights.

    Print, digital, audio, translation, film. Yours, from the moment the first draft lands on the page. Written into the first paragraph of every contract.

    100%Author copyright
  2. II.

    A named editor and writer, from page one to launch day.

    You meet them in week one. You email them directly. They are on the colophon of your book. We do not pass manuscripts around an anonymous pool.

    2namesOn every project
  3. III.

    AI for the homework. Human hands on every line.

    Research, voice-sample studies and validation passes are accelerated by AI. The book itself is written, edited and shaped by named humans who appear on your colophon. To be exact: a human writes every page, a human edits every page, and no page ships unread. Your manuscript is never used to train a third-party model.

    0pagesShipped unread
  4. IV.

    A fixed-price proposal in forty-eight hours.

    Round figures, not bids. No surprise add-ons after the contract is signed. If a scope changes mid-project, we tell you in writing before the next sentence is drafted.

    48hrsFrom brief to quote
  5. V.

    Every file passes the store on the first submission.

    Every EPUB and KDP file is auto-checked against thirty-plus rejection criteria before it leaves the studio. If a store rejects it, we re-cut it at our cost. Zero KDP rejections across forty-seven titles in 2025.

    0/472025 rejections
  6. VI.

    A plain-English contract. NDA on request.

    Two pages, not twenty. Authorship, royalties, IP, kill-fee and timelines on one side of the table. If your lawyer wants to redline a clause, ours will pick up the phone.

    2pagesAverage contract
  7. VII.

    Transparent pricing. No call-to-quote walls.

    Edition I, II and III sit on the home page with their starting figures. Custom work is quoted in two paragraphs and a number, never hidden behind a sales-call funnel.

Notes on writing, publishing and getting a book into a reader's hands.

A quiet, occasional journal on the small craft of making and launching a book.

The Patterns We Inherit, Chan Thai · Biography
Editor's pick · May 2026

The Patterns We Inherit

"With a tender yet unsentimental lens, the narrative examines love as a delicate balancing act between separate identities, finite emotional capacities, and the unseen ancestral patterns we carry. True healing is framed not as a crowning achievement, but as the enduring courage to stay present in the messiness of reality instead of retreating into isolation."

InterludeQuestions

Frequently asked questions about our book writing services.

Nine answers, written in plain English. Anything we didn't cover, send to contact@ebookwriting.co.

How long does it take to write a book?
Four weeks for a short children's book, up to eighteen for a 70,000-word memoir. Your proposal includes a week-by-week calendar you can hold us to.
Who owns the rights to my book?
You do, one hundred per cent. Your name goes on the cover, the ISBN is registered to you, the KDP and Apple accounts are yours, and the copyright is yours from the first word. It is confirmed in plain-English contract terms before any work begins.
How much does a ghostwriter cost?
Edition I starts at $1,200, Edition II at $3,800, Edition III is quoted per project. You get a fixed price, or a tight range if we need a sample chapter first, before any work begins.
What is your revision policy?
Drafts arrive in fortnightly batches and you mark them up freely. Revisions happen inside the same batch. Cover design includes two concepts with three revisions each.
What if I don't like the draft?
We catch that in the first two batches, which is the whole point of fortnightly delivery. If we are seriously off after batch two, we re-cast the project, with a different writer if that is what it takes, or refund any un-started work.
Do you sign NDAs?
On request, and often for memoirs and business books. Send us yours or use our two-page version. Confidentiality is the default on all client work regardless.
Do you use AI to write books?
No. AI helps with research, comp-title analysis, structural drafting and production validation. A named human writer and editor are responsible for every page that leaves the house. Your manuscript is never used to train a third-party model.
Will my file be rejected by KDP?
Every file is validated against Epub check and KDP's rejection criteria before submission. In 2025 we had zero rejections on first submission across forty-seven titles. If one comes back, we fix and resubmit at no charge.
Do you publish the book for me, or do I?
We do the work, you own the account. The KDP, Apple Books and IngramSpark accounts are opened in your name, we upload into them, and the royalties arrive in your bank, not ours.
