Got Questions? We've Got Answers

Everything first-time authors want to know before taking the leap.

Do I need a finished manuscript to get started? +

Not at all! While we do work primarily with completed manuscripts, we also welcome authors who are still writing. We can provide guidance, developmental feedback, and a publishing roadmap while you finish your book. Reach out at any stage — we'll meet you where you are.

How long does the publishing process take? +

From a completed manuscript to a published book, the process typically takes 3 to 6 months. This includes editing, design, formatting, and distribution setup. The exact timeline depends on the length and complexity of your book, and we keep you informed every step of the way.

Will I retain the rights to my book? +

Absolutely. You retain 100% of the rights to your book. Realign Publishing operates on a service model — we help you publish, but your intellectual property is always yours. You maintain full creative control and ownership throughout and after the process.

What genres do you work with? +

We work across all genres — fiction, non-fiction, memoir, self-help, children's books, poetry, business, and more. Our team has experience with a wide variety of genres and we tailor our approach to suit each book's unique needs and audience.

How much does it cost to publish with Realign? +

Our packages are designed to be transparent and affordable for first-time authors. Pricing depends on the services you need — from editing-only packages to full-service publishing. We offer a free consultation to discuss your project and recommend the best package for your goals and budget.

Where will my book be available? +
