What to know before you decide
- Ask for a written list of deliverables, formats and revision rounds.
- Confirm who owns the manuscript, cover files, website, ISBNs and platform accounts.
- Separate professional fees from advertising spend, printing, government fees and other third-party charges.
- Avoid providers that promise guaranteed sales, reviews, rankings or bestseller status.
