Get Found.
Not Just Published.
Grow adds the discoverability layer — optimized eBook files, SEO-ready metadata, and platform setup on Amazon, Google Books, and Goodreads so readers can actually find your title after launch day.
The smart step up from basic publishing.

For authors who know publishing is only step one — being found is step two
Best when you want Launch-level production plus stronger metadata and discoverability tools.
Grow keeps professional production and adds discoverability work that helps readers actually find your book: stronger metadata, eBook optimization paths, and visibility tools across major platforms.
You still get lifetime portal access, transparent inclusions, and 100% rights and royalties. Grow is the middle path between “get me published well” and “help me compete for attention.”
If you already know you need Amazon A+ Content, hardcover, and a full media kit, step up to Pro. If budget is the constraint, start with Launch and add services later.
Need less? If you mainly need first-book production without extra discoverability, Launch is simpler. Launch ($597) →
Need more? If you want A+/media-kit style launch assets, step up to Pro. Pro ($997) →

Common questions about this package
What does Grow add beyond Launch?
Grow emphasizes discoverability — stronger metadata and visibility tools so readers can find your book after publication, while keeping professional production standards.

Can I add services later?
Yes. À la carte services (editing, marketing, audiobook, websites, and more) can be added when you need them. Packages remain the best value for coordinated production.
