Frequently Asked Questions

Do you guarantee publication or representation?

No one honestly can. What we guarantee is a professional, well-researched submission strategy and materials built to give your manuscript its best chance.

Yes — we can build a submission strategy for traditional publishing, or guidance suited to self-publishing, depending on your goals.

Based on genre fit, current wishlist criteria, and track record with comparable books.

We recommend finishing ghostwriting or editing first — publishing assistance works best with a complete, polished manuscript.

Testimonials

I didn't think a ghostwriting team could nail banter — that felt like the one thing that had to come from me. I was wrong. My leads/characters sound exactly like I hear them in my head, chemistry was lit.

"Author, Contemporary Romance 2020"

My story just got better, and I know these guys will nail it.

"IRIS."

I came to IWF with two characters and a vague ache of a premise. What I got back was a fully realized love story with the exact slow-burn tension I couldn't articulate but always wanted.
