Your story deserves to be unforgettable.

There are three routes. Traditional publishing: you (usually via a literary agent) pitch publishers, who pay you an advance and royalties but control rights and timing — expect a 1–2 year path and high rejection rates. Self-publishing: you publish through platforms like Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, keep control and roughly 35–70% royalties, and fund the production yourself. Assisted publishing — what Resilience Press does: professionals handle writing, editing, design and launch to a traditional-house standard, while you keep 100% of rights and royalties.

A professionally produced self-published book typically costs $2,000–$10,000 depending on length and services: editing is usually the largest item, followed by cover design, typesetting and marketing. Our packages start at $2,900 for a finished manuscript taken through editing, design and publication, and from $24,000 for full ghostwriting. Beware of outfits charging large fees while also taking your royalties — you should never give up both.

Only if you want a traditional publishing deal with a major house — most won't read unagented submissions. If you self-publish or work with a services company like ours, you don't need an agent, you keep your rights, and you can always approach agents later; a professionally edited book with real sales is a far stronger pitch.

Writing a first draft typically takes 6–18 months on your own, or 6–10 months with a ghostwriter. Production — editing, design, typesetting and publishing setup — runs 6–10 weeks with us. Traditional publishing adds 12–24 months after a deal is signed; self-publishing can go live the day the files are ready.

Traditional suits authors who want bookstore distribution, prestige and an advance, and who can wait years and accept losing most control. Self-publishing suits authors who want speed, creative control and much higher royalties, and are willing to invest in professional production. Many of our authors self-publish first, sell well, and attract traditional offers afterwards — with far more negotiating power.

With Resilience Press: you, entirely. Copyright belongs to you the moment the work is written — including ghostwritten work, which our contracts assign to you in full. We register ISBNs in your name and publishing accounts under your ownership, so every royalty payment goes directly to you. We charge for our craft, never a share of your book.

Always. You retain 100% of your rights and 100% of your royalties on every service, including full ghostwriting. We are a services house, not a rights-taking publisher.

Completely. Every ghostwriting contract includes a strict NDA. Your name goes on the cover; ours never appears anywhere.

Yes — a dedicated site converts far better than a social profile or a bare retailer page. It gives readers the full pitch (excerpt, author story, reviews, audio sample) with a single clear buy action, gives media and podcasts a professional destination, and captures reader emails you own — the most valuable long-term marketing asset an author has.

Just your answers to our Book Site Questionnaire — about twenty questions covering your book, your story, reviews and where readers can buy. We handle everything else: copywriting, design, build and launch, live within 7–14 days.

Of course. Many authors begin with an editorial assessment or a book website for an already-published title, then grow from there. There is no minimum engagement.

Yes — all packages over $2,000 can be split into milestone-based instalments, agreed before we start. No interest, no fees.
