Questions
Frequently asked questions
If your question is not here, ask us — a real person answers.
Do I choose my own specialist?
No — and that is the point. You order from Marlowe, and our team assigns the specialist best suited to your book by service, genre, availability and track record. You can message them directly once they are assigned, and Marlowe stays responsible for the result.
How do I pay?
Online through Flutterwave, by card. Your order begins only after our server has confirmed the payment with Flutterwave directly. Marlowe never sees or stores your card details.
What happens if I am not happy with the work?
Request a revision from your order page and explain what should change. Every package includes revision rounds. If something has gone wrong beyond a revision, use Report a problem on your order, or Support in your account, and a Marlowe admin will step in.
Is my manuscript safe?
Your files are stored privately and are never publicly accessible. Only your assigned specialist and the Marlowe team can open them, and every download is checked against your order.
What if nobody responds to a delivery?
Once work is delivered you have a review window to approve it or request changes. If we hear nothing within that window, the order completes automatically so your specialist can be paid for finished work.
Can I get a quote for something not listed?
Yes. Use the contact form to describe your project and we will send you a custom quote.
Do you publish to platforms other than Amazon?
No. We specialise in Amazon KDP, for Kindle and paperback, and would rather do one platform properly.
