The process
How working with Marlowe works
No accounts, no bundles, no marketplace bidding. You order the one service you need, a specialist is assigned, and you track everything on a private page only you can open.
- 1
Tell us about your book
Where it has got to, what you think it needs, and when you hope to publish. A few sentences is enough.
- 2
We read it properly
Someone on the team looks at what you have sent and works out what your book actually needs — which is not always what you asked for.
- 3
A quote and a specialist
You get a fixed price, a delivery date, and the name of the person who would do the work.
- 4
The work happens
Your specialist works to the agreed date and stays in touch while they do it.
- 5
Delivery and revisions
You read the work and say what you think. Revisions are part of the job, not an extra.
- 6
Whatever comes next
Editing done and now it needs formatting or a cover? Tell us, and we carry on from where we left off.
A real person replies
Every enquiry is read and answered by someone on the team, usually within one business day.
Your manuscript stays private
Anything you send is seen only by the people working on your book, and never shared or published.
An honest assessment first
We tell you what your book needs — including when the answer is that it does not need us yet.
One service at a time
Start with what your book needs now. Add editing, design or publishing whenever you are ready.
Why separate orders
Each service is its own order — on purpose
It is not an inconvenience, it is the reason the work comes out right. Each stage needs the finished output of the one before it.
- 01
Editing comes first
You order editing. Your editor works on the manuscript. You accept the delivery. That order is complete and closed.
- 02
Then formatting — a new order
Your edited word count is now final, so formatting can be done properly. You place a separate order with its own price and its own specialist.
- 03
Then the cover — a new order
Formatting sets your final page count, which sets your spine width. Only now can a print cover be built to spec.
- 04
Then KDP publishing — a new order
With final files in hand, publishing is straightforward. Again, its own order, its own specialist, its own delivery.
You are never obliged to order the next stage, and you can leave as long as you like between them. If you would rather commit to several services at once, request a custom offer and we will quote the whole project as one fixed price.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
If your question is not here, ask us — a real person answers.
Do I need to create an account to order?
No. There is no registration and no password. You place your order, pay, and we email you a private link to your order page. That link is how you track progress, message your specialist and collect your files.
Why is each service ordered separately?
Because they happen at different times and depend on each other. Editing changes your word count, which changes your page count, which changes your cover spine. Ordering separately means each service starts with the finished version of the last one — and you only pay for what you need now.
How do I know my manuscript is safe?
Files are stored privately and are never publicly accessible. Only the specialist assigned to your project can open them, download links expire, and we do not share or reuse any part of your work.
What happens if I am not happy with the delivery?
Tell your specialist on your order page before accepting the delivery. Revisions are included on every service. Delivery is only marked complete when you accept it.
Can I talk to someone before ordering?
Yes, and we would encourage it if you are unsure which service you need. Message us on WhatsApp or use the contact form and a real person will answer.
What if my project does not fit a package?
Request a custom offer. Tell us what you need and we will send you a fixed quote with a fixed delivery date, valid until a stated expiry, that you can accept and pay in one click.
Which currencies can I pay in?
Prices are shown in US dollars by default, and you can view them in GBP, EUR or NGN. Payment is taken securely at checkout.
Do you publish to platforms other than Amazon?
No. We specialise in Amazon KDP only, for both Kindle and paperback. We would rather do one platform properly than several superficially.
Not a standard job?
Need something custom?
Every book is different. Tell us what you need — length, genre, deadline, anything unusual — and we will send you a fixed quote with a fixed delivery date. Accept it and pay in one click, or ignore it entirely. No pressure, no obligation.
