FAQs

Done-For-You Book Publishing for First-Time and indie Authors

Do you accept all types of books?
- Ritter House Publishing reserves the right to decline projects that include content which may conflict with our core values. This includes, but is not limited to, sexually explicit material, excessive graphic violence, or hate-promoting content.

How long does the process take?
- Most projects are completed in 6 - 10 weeks, depending on the package level and manuscript length. If you're on a tighter deadline, a rush option is available for an additional fee.

Do I own the book?
- Yes! You maintain 100% ownership of your book, your content, and your royalties. We don't take any percentage of your sales or rights—this is your book, your brand, your legacy.

Do you help with cover design?
- Yes. Every package includes either a basic or custom cover design, depending on your tier. If you need something more advanced (like illustration or photo-based montage), we off an upgrade option.
- To keep your publishing journey simple and streamlined, we ask that all illustrations or artwork be provided by you prior to formatting. At this time, Ritter House does not offer custom illustration services. Please ensure you have full permission or ownership of any visual content submitted. We'll take it from there and make it shine!

Can I include images or illustrations in my book?
- Yes—especially for poetry collections, memoirs, or children's books (client provided).

What if I need more editing or revisions?
- Each package includes a full round of editing (based on your tier), but if you'd like an extra round or deeper development, add-on editing services are available.

Is marketing included?
- Every package includes a social media graphic to help promote your launch and the Legacy package includes multiple graphics + a flyer. For additional marketing services, we're happy to refer trusted partners.

Do you offer payment plans?
- Yes. A 50% deposit is required to book your project. The remaining balance is due upon final delivery. Custom payment options may be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
