Why founders and consultants publish books
A business book puts your thinking where clients, partners and audiences can find it. It gives prospects something to read before a sales call, gives event organizers a reason to book you, and turns your method into something people can quote and pass on.
Nova Publishers works with founders, executives, consultants and coaches. Some arrive with a finished manuscript, some with talks, articles and slides, and some with an idea and no time to write it, in which case a Nova ghostwriter can write the book with you.
Editing around one clear idea
Strong business books are built around one framework readers remember. Your editor shapes the argument around it, chapter by chapter, and checks every case study and example for credibility and permission before it goes into print.
A typical business book runs 50,000 to 80,000 words. The line edit keeps the prose direct and in your voice, so the book sounds like you in a meeting, not like a textbook.
Formats, timeline and launch
A print and ebook edition starts with Launch Pro at $1,899 and takes 8 to 12 weeks from the accepted quote and payment. The cover and interior are designed to sit beside the business books your readers already buy, and an audiobook can be added from $1,800.
Your book is published under your name in your own accounts, you keep 100% of retailer royalties, and bulk print runs give you copies for clients and events. Signature and Elite add podcast bookings and Amazon Ads management, and Elite adds Kirkus and BookLife trade review submissions.

Usually indirectly: Nova Publishers' business authors use the book for credibility in sales conversations, speaking, consulting and podcast invitations more than for royalties. The book works best when it's built around one clear idea you're known for.
If you can't set aside regular writing time for most of a year, Nova Publishers recommends ghostwriting or co-writing. If you can write but need structure, a developmental edit on your draft is usually enough.
Most business books Nova Publishers works on run 50,000 to 80,000 words. Much shorter can read like a pamphlet, and much longer loses busy readers in the middle.
No, Nova Publishers works directly with authors, so you don't need an agent to publish your business book with us.
Very important: Nova Publishers' editors push business books toward one named framework or method, because that becomes what readers remember, quote and hire you for.
Yes, Nova Publishers recommends three to seven case studies woven through the book, with written permission from anyone you name. Vague, anonymous examples that read like fiction hurt credibility more than they help.
From the accepted quote and payment, Nova Publishers takes 8 to 12 weeks on Launch Pro and 12 to 18 on Signature. If you need ghostwriting first, add from 3 months, depending on the book's length and genre.
