Book Publishing Help — Project Review and Custom Quote

Ever wanted to write a book, or have a manuscript ready for self-publishing? Start with a 30-minute online project review with Candy Red LLC. We will talk about the stage of your book, what you already have, approximate page count, whether you want paperback and/or eBook, and the help you want with editing, cover, formatting, and listing setup. After the call, we will send a written scope and price quote for your project.

How to schedule your call

At checkout, provide the best phone number to reach you. In the cart's order notes or special instructions, write your preferred days and times to talk and your time zone. If you do not see a phone or order-notes box, complete checkout and email your name, order number, callback number, preferred days and times, and time zone to teeshirtshack2@gmail.com. We will confirm your appointment by email; your preferred time is a request, not a confirmed booking. Please do not send a full manuscript through checkout.

Project review call: $49. If you hire us for the book project, we can credit the $49 call fee toward the agreed project price. Contact us before paying the project balance so we can arrange the credit.

Publishing assistance for an existing completed manuscript starts at $750. A typical project of up to 100 black-and-white pages and one trim size may include basic corrections, interior formatting, a cover design, KDP paperback upload guidance, description and listing support, and two correction rounds.

More complete paperback and eBook publishing support starts at $1,500. For a completed manuscript, this may include broader basic proofreading, formatting for paperback and eBook, cover setup, book description and author bio, listing keywords/categories, two correction rounds, a simple promotional flyer, and author-copy guidance.

The final quote depends on the manuscript and requested work. Major rewriting or ghostwriting, illustrations, color interiors, additional pages, complex layouts, and extra revisions are quoted separately. You retain ownership of your work and your own publishing account; approval, sales, and royalties are not guaranteed. Publishing platform and printing charges, if any, are separate.
