Questions people ask before writing a book with us

What does Human Touch Publishing do?

We help experts write, publish, and launch a book. That covers ghostwriting or co-writing in your voice, four stages of editing, custom cover and interior design, print and ebook formatting, publishing, distribution, audiobook production, and launch support. We're based in Nashville, Tennessee, and work with authors across the US.

Who is this for?

Founders, executives, consultants, coaches, speakers, and proven experts who have something worth sharing and very little time to write it.

How long does it take to write and publish a book?

About four months for most of our authors, from the first interview to a published book. We build the schedule around your calendar so it doesn't take over your life.

Do I keep the rights and royalties?

Yes, all of them. You own your book and keep all of your royalties. We act as publisher of record, which means we handle the setup and paperwork while the book stays yours.

Who actually writes my book?

Real human writers and editors. We can coach you while you write, co-write it with you, or write the whole thing in your voice from conversations with you.

What kind of editing do you do?

Four stages: developmental editing for structure, line editing for voice and clarity, copyediting for grammar and consistency, and a final proofread before print.

Where will my book be sold?

In print and ebook on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books, and Walmart, plus library channels. We can also produce the audiobook.

Can you turn my podcast or talks into a book?

Yes. If you've already said it on a mic or a stage, we can shape that material into a book that still sounds like you.

Do you offer guarantees?

Yes, five of them, in writing. Four cover how we work with you: Human First, Finish the Book, Owned Direction, and Make It Matter. The fifth is our Bestseller Guarantee: if your book doesn't hit bestseller status in at least one category within 12 months of release, you get your money back. guarantee terms

How much does it cost to work with you?

Every book is different, so we give you a custom quote after a free call. For most of our authors the real cost is their time, and our process is built to protect it.
