What You’ll Get

Your authority book will be a professional, polished work designed to establish your expertise and attract clients. Here’s what a typical authority book includes:

  • Length: 25,000-35,000 words
  • Structure: 8-12 chapters
  • Chapter length: 2,500-3,500 words each

This format is perfect for busy professionals. It’s substantial enough to demonstrate your expertise, but focused enough that readers will actually finish it—and remember you.

Choose What You Need

Select individual services or save with the complete package:


Outline — $200

What this includes: A detailed chapter-by-chapter blueprint for your book. You’ll receive a structured outline showing what each chapter covers, the key points to address, and how the content flows from beginning to end. This ensures your book has a logical structure before we invest time in writing.

Satisfaction Guarantee: If you’re not satisfied after receiving your outline with two additional revision, I’ll refund your $200 in full.


Writing (Draft + Polish) — $1,700

What this includes: I write the first draft of your book (up to 10 chapters plus introduction and conclusion: 25,000 – 35,000 words total) based on the approved outline, capturing your expertise and voice through our conversations and any materials you provide. This may require several conversations or email exchanges.

After you review the draft, I polish the manuscript, refining clarity, strengthening transitions, and ensuring consistent tone throughout. Two revision rounds are included so we can address any sections that need adjustment. Additional chapters are $175 each.


Formatting — $300

What this includes: Professional interior layout for both print and ebook formats. Your manuscript is professionally formatted with proper chapter headings, page breaks, spacing, and styling that meets publishing standards.

You’ll receive all files for an ebook and print book ready for upload. I also provide guidance on working with a cover designer (cover design is outsourced separately, as cover design requires specialized graphic design skills).


Publishing — $300

What this includes: I handle the complete Amazon KDP setup process for you. This includes creating your KDP account (if needed), ISBN guidance and setup, uploading your formatted manuscript and cover files, setting your pricing and distribution options, writing your book description, selecting categories and keywords, and clicking “publish.”

You’ll have your book live on Amazon without navigating the technical details yourself.
