How pricing is confirmed
Estimates, not guarantees
Planning ranges assume confirmed capacity, payment, a signed agreement, and the materials we need. Retailer review time is separate.
Payment schedules
Blueprint is paid in full. Publishing and Accelerator default to 50% deposit and 50% before final handover. Guided Author and ghostwriting default to 40/30/20/10 across agreed milestones. Installments have a defined total and end when the balance is paid — there are no subscriptions.
Blueprint credit
The $497 Blueprint fee credits once toward an eligible larger project accepted within 30 days of blueprint delivery. It cannot be applied twice.
