Frequently Asked Questions
Do I keep my copyright?
Yes. You retain ownership of your manuscript and copyright. FirstAuthors works as your publishing service partner. We help you prepare, design, publish and launch your book without taking ownership of your intellectual property. You remain the rights holder unless you independently enter into a separate agreement that says otherwise.
Do I keep my royalties?
Yes. When you publish through your own publishing accounts, the royalties generated from your book belong to you, subject to the fees, printing costs, distribution terms and royalty structure of the platform you choose.
Our role is to help you professionally prepare and publish your book not to take a percentage of your book sales unless a separate agreement specifically states otherwise.
Do you provide ISBNs?
Yes, depending on your publishing setup. We can guide you through obtaining and assigning ISBNs for your book. You may use your own ISBNs or, where available and appropriate, use an ISBN provided by the publishing platform.
For authors who want greater control over their publishing identity and the ability to use the same edition across multiple distribution channels, we can help you understand the advantages of owning your own ISBN.
Note: ISBN requirements vary by format and publishing platform. For example, KDP requires ISBNs for paperback and hardcover editions, while Kindle eBooks do not require an ISBN on KDP.
Do I need a finished manuscript?
No. You don’t necessarily need a completely finished manuscript before contacting us.
If you have a completed manuscript, we can help you move into editing, design and publishing. If you’re still developing your book, we can help you determine what you need to do next and recommend the appropriate support, from book strategy and development to editing and production.
Do you offer ghostwriting?
Yes, ghostwriting support may be available depending on the project. If you have the expertise, ideas or experience for a book but don’t have the time or writing experience to turn them into a complete manuscript, we can discuss the best way to develop your book.
Ghostwriting projects are assessed individually based on the subject, scope, research requirements, desired length and timeline.
Can you edit my existing manuscript?
Absolutely. If you’ve already written your manuscript, you don’t need to start over.
Depending on what your manuscript needs, we can recommend services such as proofreading, copy editing, line editing or developmental editing. Our goal is to make sure your manuscript is clear, consistent, polished and ready for professional book production.
Do you publish both ebooks and print books?
Yes. We can help you prepare your book for both digital and print formats, including Kindle eBooks, paperbacks and other supported print editions.
We can also help prepare the necessary files and publishing details for the platforms appropriate to your publishing strategy. KDP currently supports Kindle eBooks, paperbacks and hardcovers.
Can you help me publish internationally?
Yes. We can help you develop a publishing and distribution setup designed to make your book available to readers beyond your home country.
The exact distribution options depend on your book format, publishing platforms, ISBN setup and target markets. We will help you choose an approach that makes sense for your goals rather than simply publishing your book and leaving you to figure out international distribution yourself.
How much does publishing cost?
There is no one-size-fits-all price. The cost depends on the level of support your book requires, including manuscript editing, book cover design, interior formatting, publishing setup, distribution, marketing and additional services.
Some authors need help with only one part of the process, while others want a complete end-to-end publishing experience.
After understanding your manuscript, goals and requirements, we’ll recommend the appropriate scope and provide a clear project quote before work begins.
Can I use my own Amazon KDP account, and who owns it?
Yes. We recommend publishing through your own Amazon KDP account, which remains under your control. Your account, publishing information, tax and banking details, sales reports, and royalties belong to you. We can guide you through the publishing process and assist with preparing and uploading your book without taking ownership of your account. For security, we recommend keeping your login credentials private and providing access only when necessary.
How long does it take?
It depends on the condition and complexity of your book. A straightforward project with a finished, edited manuscript will move faster than a project that requires substantial editing, rewriting, design revisions or additional development.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific project before production begins.
Once a finished book is submitted to a marketplace e.g KDP, Amazon currently states that most new books are reviewed and made live within approximately 3 business days, although marketplace and book type can affect the timeline.
Do you guarantee bestseller status?
No, and we believe you should be cautious of anyone who does.
No legitimate publishing service can guarantee that a book will become a bestseller because rankings depend on factors outside a publisher’s or service provider’s control, including sales volume, competition, category, timing and reader demand.
What we can do is help you build a stronger foundation for success: strategic positioning, professional editing, compelling design, accurate publishing setup and a thoughtful launch strategy.
We don’t promise bestseller status. We help you create a book worth discovering.
