Five ways to get your book out.

Defining Moments Press offers five book publishing services, from a $1,997 DIY course to a fully ghostwritten, done-for-you book and launch.

The Defining Moments Press services differ mainly in who does the work. Author Launch and Author Premium are done for you, Author Training is done with you, the Author Blueprint is DIY, and the Funnel service adds sales funnels to market your book. In every service, you keep all royalties and rights.

Which book publishing service should I choose?

Choose by where your book is today and how much you want to do yourself. Finished manuscript: Author Launch. No time to write: Author Premium. Want to write it with a coach: Author Training. Want to do it yourself at a listed price: the Author Blueprint.

For most professionals with a nonfiction story, the choice is between Author Training and Author Premium. Pick Training if you want the words to be yours; pick Premium if your time is better spent with clients.

What is the difference between done-for-you and done-with-you?
Done-for-you means the team does the work; done-with-you means you do the writing with coaching and support beside you. Defining Moments Press offers Author Launch and Author Premium as done-for-you services, and Author Training as done-with-you, which pairs one year of book coaching with formatting, design and a full launch.

How much do Defining Moments Press services cost?
The DIY Author Blueprint lists one payment of $1,997 on its checkout page. Prices for the done-for-you and done-with-you services are not published; they are discussed on a free discovery call with an Acquisition Editor, because scope depends on whether you need ghostwriting, coaching or just launch support. More in the FAQ
Are there hidden fees?
Defining Moments Press states there are no hidden fees. It is paid a fee for its service, and authors keep all royalties and rights. You can also order copies of your book at cost directly from the provider, so printing your own stock does not add a markup from the publisher. More in the FAQ
