Process
How your book is created
Seven steps from the questionnaire to your book. The most important one is concept approval. Once your material is complete, it takes about 6 to 10 months, depending on the model.
From questionnaire to book
-
Questionnaire
Free of charge, about 15 minutes, with uploads. We review every enquiry. If it is a good fit, you receive a booking link.
-
Strategy session
3 hours, online or in Vienna, €4,900 net plus VAT, credited in full if you commission your book. You receive your book strategy, a sales and financing plan and a binding quote.
-
Contract and material
Contract with your company, payment via ablefy. Then you deliver all your material.
-
Kick-off and concept
Two hours online. We then develop the title, core message and chapter structure.
-
Concept approval
One hour online, then you give the concept your binding approval. After that, the book is not fundamentally restructured. Before that, you can withdraw.
-
Writing and revisions
With Author, you write, with feedback at two milestones. With Expert and Authority, we write the complete manuscript. After the rounds of revisions, you approve it.
-
Final polish and publication
Editing, proofreading and the final linguistic polish, then the cover based on our design templates, typesetting, print PDF and e-book. With Author, you receive the files. With Expert and Authority, your book is published in the savaara imprint.
