One price for the book. Or one chapter at a time.
A ghostwritten book has cost twenty thousand dollars because it took a stranger four months to learn what you already know. We got that part down to twelve sessions. The writing and editing are still done by people, in house.
Deliverables are identical whichever way you pay. Spreading it across the twelve chapters costs 12% more overall, and you can stop at any chapter and keep everything captured.

Parts of your draft are produced with AI assistance. In the United States and some other countries, purely AI-generated text may not be protected by copyright on its own — what is protected is your own material and the human authorship in the finished book. Every BookLore book receives substantial human editorial work, and we give you a written production record so you or your attorney can register it accurately.
Amazon KDP and some other retailers ask you to declare AI-assisted content when you upload. We hand you a one-page statement describing exactly how your book was made, so you can answer that question truthfully in about a minute.
Your Canon
Every finished book is indexed into a canon that belongs to you. It is included, it is exportable, and there is no subscription — we will never charge you to keep your own words.
- Built automatically when your manuscript is approved
- Paragraph-level index and concept registry
- Answers questions from your book, citing the page
- Portable export — yours whatever happens to us
- No subscription. You never pay to keep your own words.
Launch Essentials — $995
Cover design, ISBN registration in your name, print and ebook distribution setup, and a launch asset kit. Add it at checkout or any time before production.
Three more — Author Platform, Audiobook and a Bestseller Campaign — are offered once the manuscript is approved. All one-time, and none of them affect what you already own.
Teams — $4,900 per author
Books for your leadership team, and one canon that keeps everyone saying the same thing.
Author DNA — from $14,000
Once the manuscript is finished it can become a governed canon that answers in your voice and cites the paragraph. Nothing to decide now — it needs a finished book first.
Stop whenever you want. You pay only for the chapters you've locked, at the by-chapter rate, and everything else is refunded within 10 business days.
