44 titles written, 262 editions, 14 languages. Every edition is uploaded by hand, format by format, store by store.
Publishing a book can cost nothing or a few thousand euros, and the difference is not the book: it is who does the work. With a traditional publisher you pay nothing, but you have to be chosen. Doing everything yourself costs little and the result is whatever you are able to produce. With a studio you pay for a finished book: our publishing package starts at 1,500 euros.

Every row in the table is a form of its own: the cover in the size that store wants, the description, the categories, the keywords, the price for each market, the ISBN, the rights. Then the file gets tested on a reader, and if a typo turns up the whole round starts again.
This is the work that sits between a finished manuscript and a book someone can buy. It is not writing, and almost nobody explains it to a first-time author.
What we do for our own catalogue we do for our clients' books: writing, layout, cover, upload to Amazon KDP and StreetLib, listings filled in one by one, and campaigns to support them.
