We are a dedicated self-publishing and author services company. We are not affiliated with Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or any traditional publishing house.

GENERAL

How do I create an account?

You’ll need a valid email address, signed agreements authorizing us to print and distribute your book, and secure payment details for printing fees and receiving royalties from your sales.

What file formats do you require for my book?

For print books: one PDF for the full cover (including spine and bleed) and a separate PDF for the interior content. For eBooks: an EPUB file for the interior and a high-resolution JPEG or PNG for the cover.

What do I need to publish a book with Book Publishers Den?

A fully completed account setup (all steps finished), plus your ready cover and interior files. If you want wide distribution, you’ll also need an ISBN for each format (we can provide one during title setup if you prefer).

Do you provide any guarantees?

Please refer to our full Terms and Conditions. We prioritize your security with a clear, legally binding contract and NDA before any work begins — outlining exactly what services you receive and the agreed terms.

What if I don’t need the full package?

No problem — you can select only the services you want. We often adjust pricing when you remove certain options. Contact one of our consultants; they’ll help customize a plan and quote that perfectly fits your needs and budget.

Can I get feedback or a consultation on my manuscript?

Absolutely — our editing and coaching services are ideal for authors seeking constructive input. We can provide feedback at any level: big-picture structure and concept, flow and pacing, character development, or line-by-line copyediting suggestions. Just let us know your priorities — and if you’d like, our editors can implement the changes for you.

How involved do I need to be during the process?

That’s completely up to you. Some authors prefer close collaboration with frequent reviews and input; others provide core details and let the writer handle most of the drafting. You always have final approval on content. We customize the workflow to match your schedule, communication style, and desired level of involvement. For memoirs or autobiographies, we strongly recommend working closely together to ensure authenticity.

Can I meet the ghostwriter in person?

We operate fully online for maximum efficiency and global accessibility — using phone calls, video meetings, email, and chat for seamless collaboration. In-person meetings are not standard, as they can slow down timelines and impact team productivity. However, for exceptionally large projects (typically orders over $30,000), we can arrange a face-to-face meeting if needed. You’re always welcome to visit our office for a coffee and informal chat!

How long does the process usually take?

The timeline depends on your project scope, book length, genre complexity, and your preferred review cadence. Most full-length books follow a weekly or bi-weekly review cycle with the author. A typical 200–300 page manuscript takes 5–8 months from start to final delivery, allowing time for thoughtful drafting, revisions, and polishing. We can accelerate the schedule for urgent projects (with additional priority fees) while maintaining quality.

How do you screen and qualify your writers?

Every writer goes through a rigorous screening process. We verify credentials, review samples of published work, and test their skills. Only those with a proven track record of successfully written and edited books are accepted into our network. Assignments are made based on genre expertise, style match, and availability to ensure the best fit for your project.

Are your services completely confidential?

Yes — 100% confidential. We never share, reuse, or repurpose any of your content, ideas, or information. Our strict privacy policy is clearly posted online, and we happily provide a formal non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for your peace of mind. Your story remains yours alone. (With your permission, we may feature a testimonial on our site after publication.)

Do I have to credit or co-author with the ghostwriter?

No — never required. That’s the whole point of ghostwriting: complete anonymity unless you choose otherwise. The final book is 100% yours — you are the sole author and retain full rights and ownership. No matter how much your book earns, we claim no credit, royalties, or co-authorship. Credit is always optional and appreciated, but never expected or demanded.

Should I report a good or bad experience with my writer?

Yes — please do, in either case. Positive feedback helps us celebrate great work; legitimate negative reports (e.g., missed deadlines, unavailability, or failure to deliver per agreement) can lead to removal from our network. We take feedback seriously to maintain quality. (Note: Refusing unpaid extra work or requiring prepayment are not valid complaints — those are contractual matters.)

PUBLISHING

Will you help me publish my manuscript?

Yes, absolutely. We will help you publish your book whether you want self-publishing or typical-publishing. We assist our clients in every type of publishing such as traditional-publishing, eBook publishing, print on demand (POD) publishing.

In traditional-publishing, we will provide a list of publishing outlets and act as your literary agents. We will also work with our clients to develop a marketing strategy to attract buyers. In self-publishing such as soft or hard form, we will also guide you and offer the best available platforms. In the formatting and publishing process, we will always stand with our clients.

What is the process of discovering a literary agent?

To publish your book traditionally, you need to find a literary agent to send your query letter or proposal. According to some writers, you have to send your sample work to more than 80 literary agents to secure a literary agent. This process is taxing and time-taking, but if you successfully find a literary agent, he works as a well-wisher for you and your manuscript. We will help you develop a customized query letter and best proposal and act as your literary agent to help you secure the publication deal.

What is the book publishing process?

There are many options for publishing a book. It totally depends on you what process you choose. Traditional publishing involves various publishing houses and literary agents that represent your book to different publishing outlets request them to publish your book. This process can be daunting especially for first-time authors. In the end, you will find a publisher that purchases the rights to print your manuscript.

It is a really time-consuming process and normally takes several months and years. Self- publishing is the easiest and popular nowadays. Just format the book and upload it on any platform with a cover motif. Now, it’s up to you whether you prefer self-publishing or traditional publishing. We offer both services by providing the right consultation and recommendations.

What is the major difference between traditional publishing and self-publishing?

Traditional publishing is time-consuming and overwhelming process for new authors. In this process, you have to find the right literary agent that convinces publishers to publish your book. Finally, he finds a publisher that agrees to purchase the rights to publish your book. In traditional publishing, your publisher is responsible for the final look of the book, publishing, and promoting.

Both traditional and self-publishing have specific advantages. Traditional publishing is best suited for potential authors because they will earn major profits and publicity with their book. Self-publishing is best for first-time authors because publishers don’t want to take a risk. So, they can just format their book and upload it on any digital platform with just a few processes. In traditional publishing, publisher can demand for change in your manuscript and you don’t get any rights.

On the other hand, self-publishing offer more freedom and you can retain your rights. In short, traditional publishing is quite a professional method because the publisher is responsible for the marketing and distribution costs. Many new authors take the benefit of self-publishing to prove their capability and marketability and can get the attention of agents and publishers. In comparison with traditional publishing, self-publishing is gaining popularity gradually.

Can I send the same proposal or query letter to multiple agents and publishers?

Yes, you can send specific sections of your work to different agents and publishers. But, the most effective method is to send a modified proposal or customized query letter to more than one agent and publisher. It is necessary to clear the idea of your manuscript in your query letter to catch the attention of the publisher.

Do you guarantee that my book will be published?

In self-publishing, we will guarantee that your book will be published. You will also get a copy of your book and we also submit it on Kindle, Amazon, and other eBook platforms for sale. In traditional publishing, we will support and guide you in this process by providing a comprehensive list of genre-appropriate publishers that help you publish your book and also take responsibility for marketing and distributing your book and you will easily get your goals but will not guarantee what the publishers responsibilities are.

MARKETING

How many book will I sell as a result of a book marketing campaign?

There is not a reliable way to predict book sales. With variables out of anyone’s control, such as media reaction to a book and author performance on interviews, predicting book or e-book sales is not precise. However, reputable marketing firms like ours only take on books that they believe, based on experience, have good potential for media coverage, which is the key to sparking book sales.

If I need Consulting rather than a full campaign, can Book Publishers Den help?

Yes! We offer consulting services for authors at various stages of the publishing process. It can include support in developing a pre- and post-publication plan for the long haul, team brainstorming for book titles and cover designs, advice on website content, Amazon optimization, assistance with Goodreads and other book support services, and many other areas where authors may need help.

Can you get me (author) interviewed on The Today show or other major national shows or an Article review in New York Times?

The Today Show and other morning and daytime talk/news shows are inundated with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of publicist pitches and books every day. However, the fact is we’ve placed both self-published and traditional authors on these shows numerous times. It’s never easy to get an author on a national TV show, but if your book is a good fit for a major show, we will make every effort to interest its producers. Big things happen for our authors every day.

Do you promote Controversial Books?

Typically, yes. The controversy is often helpful to publicity. It sparks debate, makes for exciting interviews, and can help a book stand out from the crowd. However, we do not promote books that contain hateful messages, encourage violence, etc.

My book is Self-published, is that a problem?

Absolutely not. We have more experience promoting self-published books than any other agency in the publishing industry. We were one of the first book publicity agencies to work with e-book, only self-published books, and e-book publishers.
