- Human QC on any AI-assisted production
What changes as you go up
Lower tiers emphasize a lean production path. Launch and Pro add the depth most debut authors actually need (cover/interior strength, eBook path, stronger launch assets on Pro). Signature and Ultimate add brand-platform and white-glove stack items — only if you truly need them. Compare rows on the self publishing packages page, not a verbal quote.
Milestone Plan
Pay in full, or an optional Milestone Plan with a $149 setup fee. Inclusions do not change. How to choose.
