Services That Solve One Problem at a Time

Start with a suite (editing, design, production, or marketing) β€” not a 50-item shopping list. Prefer a guided path? Packages from $399 include coordinated production and a lifetime Author Portal.

  • Suites explain the path before SKUs
  • Every price visible before checkout
  • 100% rights & royalties retained

Not sure where to start? Most debut authors choose a publishing package (Launch $597 or Pro $997) for coordinated editing, design, production, and a lifetime portal β€” then add Γ  la carte only if needed. Γ€ la carte is best when you already have a clear single gap.

Four suites Β· One problem each

Pick the problem you are solving. Read the path. Then open the full catalog only if you need a specialist SKU. Prefer a free recommendation? Book an Author Readiness Call. Packages remain the best value for first-time authors β€” see all six tiers.

Suite Β· Editorial

Fear the manuscript isn’t ready?

Developmental editing, line/copy polish, and proofreading with human oversight. Feedback and rounds live in the Author Portal β€” not lost email threads. Best when structure or polish still needs professional work before design.

Standalone SKUs Β· or included by package tier

Explore editing suite

Suite Β· Design

Worried the cover won’t compete?

Cover design built for retail thumbnails and print. You approve concepts and finals in the portal before files lock. Ideal when the writing is solid but the jacket has to earn the click.

Concepts β†’ revisions β†’ final retail assets

Explore design suite

Suite Β· Production

Confused by formatting & distribution?

Print-ready interiors, eBook files, ISBN, and global retail placement β€” managed as portal phases with eProof approvals. One accountable workflow instead of three freelancers and a spreadsheet.

Layout Β· eProof Β· Title Live Β· royalties

Suite Β· Marketing

Need launch assets β€” not empty promises?

Launch marketing, websites, audiobook, and specialty add-ons priced before checkout. We build assets and setup paths β€” we do not sell guaranteed bestsellers. Browse the catalog section below for SKUs.

How a service moves through AuthorShelf

  1. Step 1 Pick a package or standalone service with the price listed up front.
  2. Step 2 Upload files and preferences in your lifetime Author Portal.
  3. Step 3 Review proofs, message your team, and approve milestones.
  4. Step 4 Go live with distribution and royalty visibility β€” rights stay yours.

Full Γ  la carte catalog

Specialist add-ons by category. Use this when you already know the exact product β€” not when you are still choosing a path. Lower-volume specialty SKUs stay available below; we don’t hide them, but we don’t lead with a 50-item wall either. Packages are usually the better starting point for first-time authors.
