What is a ghost-writer?

Maybe you have an important story to tell, but you just don’t have the time or expertise to write a manuscript yourself—ghostwriting may be just the service you need! Let one of our experienced EC ghostwriters help you transfer that praiseworthy idea floating around in your head, onto handheld paper to be published. Best of all, this anonymous partnership is confidential, so you’ll get all the credit as the author! (Please speak to your EC Publisher Consultant for more details.)

What size would my book be?

This is entirely up to you, but generally speaking a children’s book is roughly 8 x 8 and the standard size for a paperback is usually 6 x 9. Again, this is entirely up to you. When you publish with ECP, you run the show and choose what you like best!

How is the retail price set for my book?

You will get tired of hearing it, but this is entirely up to you! We will encourage you to keep your book competitively priced and at fair market value, but ultimately that decision is up to you!

What profit could I expect to get from a sale?

This is entirely up to you, you maintain control for setting your wholesale costs, your retail costs and your bulk costs.  You set the price, thus setting your own profit margin!

Are orders made through your contacts fulfilled by ECP or would it be my responsibility?

ECP will stand beside their authors, purchasing books at wholesale and selling at all of our events, nationwide. 

In addition, we encourage our authors to make an author’s page on Amazon. At events we will sell the physical copies, on our website we will direct to the Amazon link. All of this is seamless for the author. Books orders for Amazon are supplied by our printer – the author only needs to receive the profits directly into their checking accounts! Books ordered for physical sale are handled by ECP and are shipped directly from the printer. The author need not do a thing! Monies are directly deposited into your Paypal account!
