Simply better for authors
Many companies take away your book rights, royalties and control. We think that's unfair. So we decided to make a fairer service for you - the author.

Royalties
They take 50% to 70% of your royalties
They keep your accumulated royalties and then only pay out to you once a year
You keep 100% of your royalties
All your royalties are paid to you every month directly from Amazon
Rights
Force you to sign over your book rights
Small print means you forgo ownership of film rights, audio rights and foreign language rights
If you want to get your rights back, you're forced to wait out the contract period, or spend thousands to buy back your rights
You keep 100% of your rights
You keep 100% of your rights. You keep your film, audiobook, and foreign language rights forever.
We fundamentally believe you should always be able to keep the rights to your book. You've spent so long writing it, why give it away now.
Terms
Lock you into long-term or lifetime contract
Unexpected extra charges
No lock-in or restrictive contract
One fee. No hidden or extra charges
Submission process
Frustrating submission process. You could be ignored, or you may wait months for a reply
No submission process. You simply contact us and Peter & Caroline will talk to you about your book
Timeline
After the 90 day submission process, if you then get accepted you're forced to wait again. The average extra time to finally get published is 2 years. So this make the total time to publish nearly 2.5 years
As soon as your book is ready, we'll publish it. During this time you're working with us to make a great book. Not waiting around.
Support
Outsourced support, so you never know who you are talking to.
Many companies hide from customers, making it difficult to get help. Infuriating!
Frustrating 'no-reply' emails and customer support 'tickets' so you can never get through to talk to a real human for help.
Personal 1-on-1 support from Peter and Caroline so you can be sure of continuity of service
Contact from Peter and Caroline throughout the process, so you never feel lost or in the dark
We hate 'no-reply' emails. You can always talk to us when you need help. In fact, why not say hello directly to peter@bespokeauthor.com
