FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What if I don’t have a clear idea for my book?

No problem! Many (if not most) of our authors don’t have a clear idea for their book until they complete the first phase of the program. We’ll actually help you figure out which is the right book to write right now so in some ways being unclear about your topic can be beneficial.

What kinds of books are you interested in?

We have the most experience with personal growth/self-help books, but we also enjoy publishing memoirs, creative non-fiction, poetry, how to, and business books. Children’s books, trade fiction and erotica are not currently genres we work with.

What other books have you published?

You can see our full catalog at www.DifferencePress.com/catalog.

How much is the program?

This is not an inexpensive program but it is guaranteed to get you the results. You will get a book, but more than that you will have a platform from which to take your business to the next level. Ask any author, the return on investment for writing a book is priceless. We will discuss the investment as well as the return you can expect with your business on our call. I can assure you if this book isn’t going to yield you a massive return, we will be in agreement it’s not the right program for you.

Can I pick my own editor, designer, or ghost writer?

Nope! We will work with you to make sure you like your team and that you are being served but one of the ways we help you focus on your writing is that we take care of building a dream team to support you so you don’t have to. We will pair you with the people we think will serve you and your project best.

How much time do I need to complete these program?

Both kindlicio.us and bookilicio.us are split into 3 phases. Phase one is when we prepare to write the book. Generally this phase takes 3 weeks and will require 1-2 hours per week. If you have trouble finalizing your outline which is the outcome for this phase, you may choose to take my 6 week Free Your Inner Author class to help you along. Once you complete phase one, you start writing your book. You’ll be writing 5 hours a week for 6 consecutive weeks for kindlicio.us and for 15 consecutive weeks for bookilicio.us. Once you have finished phase two, we will prepare your book for publishing. To meet the minimum requirements you’ll need to dedicate 1-2 hours a week for 4 weeks. You may need to spend more time preparing for your marketing launch depending on how complicated your launch is.

Can you publish my foreign language book?

We’re happy to chat with you about this but foreign language books are not something we have experience with.

What are my future rights to my manuscript if, for example, I wanted to self publish hard/softcopies for my own use or sale?

We claim exclusive distribution rights for 3 years. After that you can publish your own version of this work. If you want to opt out of exclusivity for us we can talk about that. It is possible for an additional fee but there are some pros and cons you should understand first.

Are expenses other than the deposit incurred?

Probably not. It’s possible if you go outside of our editing or design requirements you’ll be charged for that. Also if you decided you’d like to print your book there could be additional fees. We try really hard not to nickel and dime you but do have some protections in there to make sure we can serve your needs for last minute or excessive changes.

Who holds the copyright?

Writers retain all rights to their work.

Do you have a payment plan or scholarships?

Sometimes we offer payment plans or scholarships for the right candidates. To find out if you are a fit for a scholarship, or to learn more about financing options, set up a call through this link.

If you still need more information, or you’d like to chat personally, I’m happy to spend 30 minutes with you. You can schedule that right here.
