Do you use AI to write books?

No. Every word of a Velmont manuscript is written and edited by people. We use software for transcription, research organisation, project tracking and marketing analytics, and we tell you exactly where.

How much does it cost?

Studio publishing packages run from $499 to $3,999 for authors with a manuscript. Signature ghostwriting starts at $45,000 and Premier at $95,000. Every project gets a fixed quote.

Do I keep my rights and royalties?

Yes, all of them. Books are published under your own imprint and accounts.

Do you only do nonfiction?

No. We write and publish across 16 genres, including fiction, children’s books, poetry and cookbooks.

How payment works

Pay as the book grows.

A deposit starts the project and secures your writer or editor.
Remaining payments are tied to approved milestones: blueprint, chapter sets, final manuscript, launch.
Anything outside scope is quoted in writing before work starts.
Ad budgets are paid straight to Meta and Amazon from your own accounts.
Royalties are paid by the retailers directly to you. We never touch them.
