Go Big With Your Book

We offer 3 comprehensive and competitive packages to support you on your path to publication, all highly catered with your book and success in mind.

Publishing Packages

Traditional

Traditional is a highly selective traditional publishing platform for authors with a top quality manuscript. Muse pays all costs associated with publishing, marketing and distribution. The author that are selected for this path will receive a 30% royalty. We are currently accepting submissions.

Pro

The selection criteria for our curated program, Pro, is identical to our traditional publishing platform, Traditional, with the only exception being that we require authors in our traditional program to have an existing and sizable platform, which we do not require of our authors. Pro authors contribute to the costs of production, but also receive a higher royalty than our traditionally published authors. Evaluation of every manuscript is free and if selected for publication through Pro, there is no obligation to accept.  

Executive / Done-For-You

If you’re a busy professional, thought leader or movement maker and have neither the time nor desire to be chained to your desk writing a book, let us write it for you! Utilizing our proprietary “write and grow rich” method (which may include outlines, recorded interviews, and ghostwriting), we do the heavy lifting, producing a finished manuscript in your words that reads like a book. This package includes everything you need to have a streamlined, mostly hands-off experience so that you can focus on what you do best. We’ll handle all of the writing, editing, and design, while you work one-on-one with our book publishing manager to give you the best foundation for a successful product. This package requires a commitment to regularly scheduled weekly calls with our manager and/or writer and total production time of approximately 9 – 12 months.

Pricing & Features

Production A La Carte Services

Separate investment that can be added to any package or purchased separately. 

Manuscript Editing

Proper editing can often mean the difference between a good book and a great book. We offer three tiers of editing, depending on your needs: Developmental, line and copy editing.

Proofreading

Proofreading ensures that your grammar is
flawless and that there are no embarrassing typos or inconsistent tenses in your manuscript. It shows that you care enough to put in the extra effort, and sets you apart from the crowd.

Custom Cover Design

The cover of a book is the single most important element when it comes to selling your book. Our design team will create a fully customized and top quality book cover that will perform well in the
market.

Hardcover & Paperback Production

Leveraging the power of on-demand printing, we’ll turn your finished manuscript into an attractive paperback that you can be proud to display on your bookshelf, at conventions or expos, or on the end-cap of your local coffee shop.

Ghostwriting

No time to write a book yourself? Our ghostwriting team has developed a custom writing process using an outline alongside recorded interviews, which we transcribe and transform into a manuscript that reads like a book in your voice.

Audiobook Production

Audiobooks are powerful but can often be technically challenging to create. We provide high quality narration, editing, mastering and production, as well as a promotional CD image and upload-ready audiobook cover for your manuscript.

Podcast

We can distribute an author podcast to all platforms. Further we can provide an opportunity to “highlight” your podcast when someone opens up the app. Finally, we can provide a button for BUY NOW or to link to your website if desired. 

eBook Formatting

When properly formatted, an eBook will look great regardless of the end user’s settings. We’ll format your finished manuscript so that it translates seamlessly across all viewing platforms and formats.
