Publishing packages

Four ways to publish your book properly.

Every package includes the same editing, the same attention to design, and the same care when your copies arrive. What changes as you move up is how far we take the moment, and how many readers we help you reach.

Included with every package

The Orbit Standard

Every author receives all of this, whatever they pay. Our packages differ in how loudly we announce your book. They never differ in how well you are treated.

When your book is ready

It doesn't get uploaded and abandoned. It arrives.

The day your copies reach you is the day you become an author. We refuse to let that turn up in a plain courier bag.

The Author's Kit box

Your copies travel protected in a branded Ink Orbit carton. Inside it, a separate box holds the things that mark the occasion.

A certificate of publication

Printed with your name and your title. Framed from Signature upward, engraved at Heirloom.

The Author's Kit

Bookmarks printed with your cover, a diary and pen for whatever you write next, and a card with a QR code to your author page.

A keepsake

An engraved glass memento from Signature upward, and an engraved trophy at Heirloom.

A family set

Copies packed separately, ready to give. The first people who should hold it are the ones who waited for it.

A presence, ready

Your author page, Amazon profile and Goodreads profile go live before your copies land.

Before you decide

Questions authors ask

Will you make my book a bestseller?
No, and we will never say otherwise. The average book sells fewer than a thousand copies in its lifetime, and any publisher promising you a chart position is selling a lottery ticket. What we sell is the part we control: a book made properly, and a launch handled with care.
Who owns the copyright?
You do, always. Your name stays on the book and the rights remain yours. We do not take a share of your royalties.
How long does it take?
Most books take eight to twelve weeks from manuscript to publication, depending on the package and how quickly you approve each stage. We agree the timeline in writing before we start.
What if my manuscript is longer than the words included?
Additional pages are charged at your package's rate. We count your manuscript and give you the exact figure before any work begins.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. If you start with Debut and want the launch treatment afterwards, you pay the difference. Nothing in our add-ons menu expires.
How do royalties reach me?
Through your dashboard, paid monthly. You keep 100% of the royalties on every channel we distribute to.

Tell us about your book.

Send us your manuscript, or just the idea. We will reply within 24 hours with an honest view of what it needs, which package fits, and what it will cost.

We usually reply within 24 hours.
