Your story. Your name. Your royalties.
Scriters writes, edits, publishes, and markets books for people with a story worth finishing. Public pricing, milestone payments, and a contract that leaves you owning 100% of your work, including the Amazon account it sells from.
Rates on the site, not behind a sales call. Quotes in 24 hours.
One team, idea to published book
Hire a single service or the whole pipeline. Either way, the work is scoped in writing and delivered on your accounts.
The book-services industry has a trust problem. We built Scriters against it.
Rates are on this website. Most agencies hide prices so they can quote whatever the call suggests you will pay.
Milestone payments of about 30% to start. If we stop earning your confidence, you stop paying.
Books publish under your own KDP account, so Amazon pays you directly. Any service that publishes under theirs controls your income.
Nobody honest can guarantee a bestseller. We promise defined work, real deadlines, and weekly numbers you can read.
Your book is written by a named human writer, and the contract says so. Where software assists, we disclose exactly how.
If your manuscript needs a $500 edit instead of a $5,000 rewrite, that is the quote you get. We would rather keep you than upsell you.
Scriters vs a typical book-services agency
No named competitors, no cheap shots. Just the practices that separate a service you can trust from one you should question.
| Scriters | Typical agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Published on the site | Hidden until a sales call |
| Payment | ~30% to start, rest on milestones | Often 100% upfront |
| Your Amazon KDP account | Yours, we work inside it | Often theirs |
| Royalties | Amazon pays you directly | Sometimes routed through them |
| Copyright | 100% yours, in writing | Sometimes retained |
| See the writing first | Free sample before you pay | Rarely offered |
| Bestseller guarantees | None, honestly | Yes (and unenforceable) |
| Cold sales calls | Never; quote in writing | Common |
Why we cost less than the big firms
Premium ghostwriting runs $30,000 and up; publishing packages hit $29,000 at the top end. Our prices are a fraction of that, and here is the real reason, not the one you are afraid of.
You talk to the people doing the work, not a closer paid to inflate your quote.
We are a small international studio, and we tell you that plainly. Less overhead, same craft.
Retailers pay you, not us. We charge for defined work once, not a cut of your book forever.

Questions authors ask first
What does Scriters do?
Scriters is a full-service book company: ghostwriting, editing, cover design, formatting, Amazon KDP publishing, marketing, and audiobook production. You can hire one service or the whole pipeline, and everything is delivered on accounts you own.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing is public: ghostwriting from $0.18 per word, editing from $0.013 per word, cover design from $349, publishing packages from $449 to $1,999, and marketing from $499. Every project gets a fixed written quote before any payment.
Do I keep the rights and royalties to my book?
Yes, all of them. Contracts are work-for-hire, books publish under your own Amazon KDP account, and retailers pay you directly. We never take a royalty share or publish under our own accounts.
How do payments work?
Milestones: roughly 30% to begin, with the balance tied to deliveries you approve. We never ask for 100% upfront, and the schedule is in the contract.
How do I know I can trust Scriters with my book?
Fair question in an industry with a mixed reputation. Check the things unreliable companies avoid: our pricing is public, you pay about 30% to start (never 100% upfront), your book is published on your own Amazon KDP account so royalties are paid to you directly, you keep 100% of the copyright in writing, and you can see a free writing sample before you commit. We never cold-call authors and never guarantee bestsellers.
Your prices are lower than the big firms. Is that a red flag?
It is the opposite of one. We cost less because we have no commissioned sales team, we run as a lean international studio (which we tell you openly), and we charge once for defined work instead of taking a permanent cut of your royalties. Low price plus full ownership plus milestone payments is a fair deal, not a trap. The trap is high pressure, hidden pricing, and a company that keeps your accounts.
