Our AI policy

How Your Book Gets Made

We think you should know exactly how we work before you hire us, not after. So here it is, in plain English...

Your book comes out of your mouth

We record around six hours of structured interviews with you, across three sessions. Everything in your book originates with you: your ideas, your arguments, your stories, your clients, your language, your way of explaining things.

We don't invent content. We don't put words in your mouth. If it's in your book, you said it.

A human writes every word

We do not use AI to write or draft your book. Named human editors write it, from your own recorded words, working to a clear profile of how you actually speak so it reads unmistakably as you. Where AI helps, it is only with non-writing tasks, turning your recordings into transcripts and supporting our research and fact-checking. It never drafts or writes the prose, and it never decides what your book says.

Named human editors, start to finish

Every page is written, rewritten, structured, line-edited, fact-checked and proofread by named human editors who hold editorial responsibility for the finished book. We tell you who they are. Nothing reaches print without human editorial control.

We check every statistic, name, date and claim in your book against what you actually said. This matters more than anything else we do, a book with a made-up fact in it damages the credibility it was supposed to build.

You see a chapter before we write the book

We write one chapter and send it to you. If in the highly unlikely event, it doesn't sound like you, tell us and we'll rewrite it until it's totally nailed!

What this means for your copyright

You own everything we can give you, and we assign it to you in writing, along with signed assignments from every person who works on your book.

Where we sit

The Alliance of Independent Authors classifies publishing services as AI-Minimal, AI-Assisted or AI-Integrated. We are AI-Assisted: a human writes every word, and AI only ever supports the non-writing work around it.

We keep the receipts, so you can prove it's yours

Here's the risk nobody in publishing is talking about yet. AI detectors now flag careful, professional writing as "AI" whether a human wrote it or not, and any reader, publisher or journalist can run your book through one at the tap of a button. Authors have already lost deals over an accusation they couldn't disprove.

So we do something no one else in this market does. For every book, we keep a complete, timestamped record of exactly how it was made: your original interview recordings and transcripts, the dated version history of every draft, a record of exactly how it was produced at each step, and the source behind every fact. We hold it for seven years.

If your book is ever questioned, you don't defend it with your word against a detector. You have the receipts, and we produce them for you. Your recorded voice is the strongest possible proof that the ideas and the words are yours. We call it the Provenance Guarantee, and as far as we know, we're the only publisher in this space that offers it.

Why we do it this way

Because it means a working coach, consultant, advisor, agency owner or service provider can talk for six hours and hold a professionally published book ninety days later, without it taking hundreds of hours or 2 years in the making! That's not a trick, it's what happens when you stop paying someone to invent prose and start capturing what the expert already knows.
