Straight answers

The questions people ask about the price.

What's the difference between $250 and $600? +
A Personal book ($250) is a memoir, life story, celebration, memorial, or gift — your conversations become a finished book. A Professional book ($600) adds peer research, fact-checking, external sourcing, and argument structure so the book holds up in front of clients, editors, and your industry.
Why is it so much less than a ghostwriter? +
A ghostwriter spends months interviewing and writing by hand, so they charge tens of thousands. Bookie does the interviewing and the writing for you, which is how a finished book can cost $250 instead of $30,000.
What if I want more than one book? +
Each book is priced separately. Make one for yourself, one for your mother, one for the whole family — as many as you like.
Can I try it before I pay? +
Chapter one is free, and there is no card to start. You only pay when you have heard it and want the rest of the book.
What about a printed copy? +
Your finished book downloads as a PDF or Word file you can print anywhere. Full-service printing is coming soon.

Chapter one is free. You only pay when you want the rest.
