Question 1

Do I keep the rights to my book?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your manuscript and story remain yours unless a separate written agreement explicitly says otherwise. Global Publishers House provides services; we do not take ownership of your work.

Question 2

Do I keep my royalties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We support author-owned account workflows whenever possible, which means royalties flow directly to you from Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or your chosen platform. We explain royalty flow clearly before any setup decisions are made.

Question 3

Are you affiliated with Amazon KDP or IngramSpark?

Accepted Answer

No. Global Publishers House is an independent publishing services company. Amazon KDP and IngramSpark are mentioned only as publishing platforms we help authors navigate. We are not endorsed by, partnered with, or operated by either platform.

Question 4

How do you help my book perform after publishing?

Accepted Answer

We launch with clean files, accurate metadata, competitive categories, and a strong cover — the publishing fundamentals that give your book the best chance to find its audience. Marketing, ads, and outreach beyond launch readiness are not part of our scope.

Question 5

Can you help if I already published my book?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with already-published authors who need cover redesign, formatting correction, metadata or category audits, KDP/IngramSpark improvements, and relaunch planning.

Question 6

What happens after I submit the form?

Accepted Answer

A publishing consultant reviews your book stage, genre, and goals, then contacts you within one business day with a recommended next step. No pressure, no generic sales pitch.

Question 7

Can I use my own KDP account?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and we recommend it. Author-owned KDP accounts keep royalties flowing directly to you. We can guide setup or work in your account with your permission.

Question 8

Do you offer editing and proofreading?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. We'll recommend the level your manuscript actually needs after reviewing a sample.

Question 9

Do you design book covers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design genre-appropriate covers for Kindle, paperback, and hardcover, and we deliver print-ready files prepared to the platform's spec.

Question 10

Do you format books for Kindle, paperback, and hardcover?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We format reflowable eBook files (EPUB/MOBI) and print-ready PDFs for paperback and hardcover at the trim sizes your platform supports.

Question 11

Do you work with children's books?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We coordinate illustration, build consistent characters across pages, design page layouts, and prepare color-print-ready files for paperback and hardcover.

Question 12

How long does publishing take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on word count, editing needs, design complexity, and revision pace. Most projects run 6–16 weeks from kickoff to publication-ready. We give a realistic timeline after reviewing your manuscript.

Question 13

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on manuscript length, services needed, design complexity, revision scope, and publishing platforms. We provide a clear quote after reviewing your book details — no hidden upsells.

Question 14

Do you provide an ISBN?

Accepted Answer

We can guide you through obtaining your own ISBN (recommended for full control) or using a free platform-issued ISBN. Tradeoffs are explained before you decide.

Question 15

Can you help with distribution beyond Amazon?

Accepted Answer

Yes — primarily through IngramSpark setup, which enables availability through wider retail and library channels.

Question 16

Do you offer marketing or launch promotion?

Accepted Answer

We provide launch-readiness guidance — metadata, categories, keywords, descriptions, A+ content recommendations. We do not run paid ad campaigns.
