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.
AI tools support research, drafting and illustrations; Darius F. Sanders personally reviews commissioned books. 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.

Is the writing and artwork made with AI?

Physical copies, distribution and marketing are excluded. A reading PDF is not a print-ready interior.
