Book Made Real · Business
Turn what you know into something readers can use.
For founders, consultants and professionals who want a clear, focused authority book. We organize your frameworks, examples and lessons into a manuscript with a reader-first structure. A book can support your business; no lead, sales or financial return is guaranteed.

15,000 / 30,000 / 50,000 words at the three price points. These are our scopes, not market-average price claims.
Your selected-length manuscript, structured outline, human editorial read-through, editable DOCX and reading PDF, with one consolidated revision round. Covers, retail EPUB and print formatting, physical copies, distribution and marketing are separate. Additional endnotes and revision rounds are priced before payment. No expert peer review or guaranteed publishing outcome is included.
Have a longer or unusual project? The optional $149 written brief can identify a workable scope. You do not need it for a standard purchase.
A real studio, with a visible body of work.
Explore the studio’s eight published books, including Zakari and the Great Grocery Adventure, Follow Zion, The Crimson Roar and 5 Minutes from Success. These are studio examples, not invented client testimonials or a promise that the starting package duplicates a much larger book.
Your commissioned book is personally created by Darius F. Sanders. AI tools may be used in the creative process. You keep your author credit and royalties. Rights in human contributions are documented at delivery; AI-only elements are not promised to be exclusive or copyrightable.
To prepare, write a few sentences about the intended reader, purpose and the material you already have. Contact name, cover author name, category, email and a short project idea are required. Long-form orders also collect reader, tone and starting point; the working title and supporting files can follow. Upload manuscripts or authorized images privately after payment.

Questions before you buy
What does business cost?
Starting $1,750, typical $2,800, and expanded from $4,200. The selected length and optional extras determine one visible purchase total. No mandatory consultation or Blueprint.
What is included?
Your selected-length manuscript, structured outline, human editorial read-through, editable DOCX and reading PDF, with one consolidated revision round. Covers, retail EPUB and print formatting, physical copies, distribution and marketing are separate. Additional endnotes and revision rounds are priced before payment. No expert peer review or guaranteed publishing outcome is included.
Can I add publishing files and artwork to my manuscript order?
Yes. Optional retail EPUB is $199, paperback interior PDF is $249, or both are $399; formatting 51,000–60,000 words adds $100. A finished ebook and paperback cover adds $299. Category-specific options include five chapter-opening illustrations for $225, five simple diagrams for $250, and a memoir section of up to 12 supplied photos and captions for $249. Nothing is preselected. Review the exact itemized scope before payment. Printed copies, ISBN purchase, retailer upload and distribution are excluded.
Can I order hardcover files for a long-form book?
Yes. Add the $199 hardcover adaptation to a purchased paperback interior and finished cover. Choose your paperback size, name KDP or IngramSpark, and choose a separate hardcover size from that printer’s available list. All five standard KDP hardcover sizes are offered: 5.5×8.5, 6×9, 6.14×9.21, 7×10 and 8.25×11. The book interior and cover design are adapted to that selected case-laminate format. KDP requires 75–550 final pages; word count does not guarantee eligibility. We check final specifications before adaptation. If incompatible, approve a suitable printer or receive a refund of the unperformed $199 adaptation. Picture-book hardcover remains the separate same-trim IngramSpark option.
Do I need a consultation or the Blueprint first?
No. Choose a category and scope, enter your contact name, cover author name and email, review the total, and pay securely. Book-production orders require a short idea before payment; long-form orders also collect the intended reader, tone and starting point. Picture books require your chosen size. Upload materials privately after payment. Email carries receipts and approvals; optional project texts or a short call can be requested at checkout. The $149 written brief and $499 Blueprint are optional.
Is the writing and artwork made with AI?
Your commissioned book is personally created by Darius F. Sanders. AI tools may be used in the creative process. AI-generated elements are identified for retailer disclosure and may not be copyrightable, unique or exclusive.
What do long-form prices cover?
The selected manuscript length, structured outline, personal editorial read-through, editable DOCX and reading PDF, plus the stated revisions and source checks. Approve the outline and sample chapter by email before the full draft. Covers and retail EPUB/print formatting are optional, itemized checkout add-ons. Physical copies, distribution and marketing are excluded. A reading PDF is not a print-ready interior.
How do cancellations and revisions work?
Book orders are fully refundable before the production-start email is sent. Afterwards, only the last completed milestone is earned: 20% after source review and delivery of the production brief, 80% after the complete first proof, and 100% after final files. The remaining balance is refundable. Studio errors do not consume a revision round. Extra scope requires your written approval.
When will I receive my book?
Targets after complete materials and production confirmation are 3–4 weeks for picture books, 6–10 weeks for other manuscripts, and 8–12 weeks for research-heavy work. Missing material and your review time pause the schedule. These are not guaranteed rush deadlines.
