You're a founder, CEO, or executive with years of hard-earned expertise worth putting into a book
You want a book that holds up on any shelf — not a glorified business card
You have a real business and see the book as a strategic asset — for authority, deals, speaking, recruiting, or all of the above
You're ready to invest $60,000 and commit to a 6–8 month process with a world-class team
You value quality over speed — though you'll get both
This isn't for you if
You're looking for a memoir, novel, or fiction project — we only publish nonfiction for business leaders
You want to write the book entirely yourself and just need someone to print it
You're primarily focused on Amazon royalties — most books sell under 1,000 copies regardless of publisher
You're shopping for the lowest price — we're not the cheapest and we're not trying to be

Author.Inc made the impossible possible. They've been a true partner, and I can't imagine what it would have looked like to go through this without them.

author stories
Meet the bestselling authors who trust our team.
Codie Sanchez
How Main Street Millionaire Became a #4 New York Times Bestseller With 2,000+ 5-Star Reviews.
Yes. Our process captures your authentic voice through recorded conversations — not a ghostwriter interpreting your ideas. We won the Zapier Innovator of the Year Award for our proprietary voice fidelity process. AI doesn't generate any content. It transcribes your words and organizes them into the structure we built together. Readers will feel like they're hearing directly from you.
How is this different from ghostwriting?+
Ghostwriters don't understand your industry. They don't speak your language. And the back-and-forth to get the voice right can take months. Our process captures your expertise directly through guided recording sessions — your words, your frameworks, your stories. The manuscript reads like you wrote it, because the content came from you. We just structured and polished it.
How long does it take?+
First draft in 30–60 days after your recording sessions. Fully published book in 6–8 months. Traditional publishing takes 1–3 years. We collapse the timeline on the hardest part — getting the first draft done — so we can spend more time on the editorial refinement that makes the book exceptional.
Do I retain ownership?+
100%. You own all intellectual property and keep every royalty. The book is published under your name. You can print copies at cost whenever you want, sell from your website, use it for prospecting, speaking — whatever you want, forever. This is a core principle of how we operate and one of the biggest ways we differ from traditional publishers.
What does the $5,000 deposit secure?+
Your deposit reserves your spot with Author.Inc. It's fully refundable and applied directly to your first payment — not an additional fee. Within 24 hours, our co-founder will reach out to schedule your confirmation call and walk through everything before your formal publishing invitation is sent. We work with a limited number of authors per quarter.
Why is there a call before the agreement?+
We want to make sure it's a fit on both sides before signing anything. This call is designed to ensure mutual fit, answer any remaining questions, walk through your publishing invitation in detail, and align on timing. It's a welcome conversation — not a sales pitch.
What if I have questions before placing a deposit?+
If you'd rather talk first, that's completely fine. You can schedule a call to discuss your book, goals, and which service makes sense. There's no pressure to commit before you're ready.
Who is Charlie Hoehn?+
Charlie is Author.Inc's co-founder and a 4x New York Times bestselling editor. He's worked with Tim Ferriss, Codie Sanchez, Noah Kagan, Ramit Sethi, and many of the most successful nonfiction authors of our time. He leads weekly coaching calls every Thursday and is involved at key milestones throughout your book's journey.
What if I want more than just publishing?+
Our Scale service ($180,000) turns your book into a full business platform — premium offer architecture, category-of-one positioning, deal flow systems, content engine, and direct access to Charlie at every milestone. Scale is invitation-only and requires a conversation. You can also start with Publish and ladder into Scale at any time.
