Authority Publishing
Expertise deserves permanence.
A published book remains the strongest proof of authority an expert can hold.
AI search is changing how authority is discovered. We turn your knowledge into a published book, ebook or author platform, built to stand as evidence wherever your name is searched, asked about or recommended.

Why It Matters
A book is the oldest form of authority engineering. It still works.
Anyone can publish a blog post. Far fewer people finish, design and publish an actual book — which is exactly why it carries weight. It signals depth, completion and credibility in a way that a web page cannot, and it gives AI systems and human readers alike a permanent, structured artefact to point to.
01
Performance beats a feed
Social posts scroll away. A book sits on Amazon, in search results and in AI answers indefinitely, doing quiet work long after it's published.
02
A structured entity, not just a document
A published book with proper metadata, an ISBN and an author record gives AI systems a clear, verifiable entity to associate with your name.
03
The credibility transfers
"Author of" carries weight in a bio, a pitch, a speaker profile or a website — well beyond the book's own sales.
How It Works
From manuscript to published authority asset.
i.
Your manuscript
You send your copy, however it currently exists — draft, transcript or finished text. We agree layout, fonts, cover direction and finish.
ii.
AI Search & GEO
Full Generative Engine Optimisation implementation. Locus configuration, entity schema, geographic signals.
iii.
WordPress Systems & Architecture
Cornerstone Pro builds, dynamic content, Looper systems, and component architecture for scalable sites.

✓
Published & indexed
Live on Amazon KDP and/or print-on-demand, with ISBN, author record and — where included — your own author site.
What's Included
Production, not just formatting.
01
Editorial typesetting
Proper paragraph and character styles, consistent headings, page numbering, contents and front matter — built once, applied throughout.
02
Cover design
A cover designed to your brief and fitted precisely to your chosen format, whether ebook, paperback or hardback.
03
ISBN & imprint
An ISBN is registered for your book — Amazon-assigned as standard, or independently issued through Ellie White where wider distribution beyond Amazon is wanted.
04
Publishing & distribution
Live setup on Amazon KDP and, where appropriate, wider print-on-demand distribution — no stock to hold, no minimum print run.
05
Author entity
A consistent author record across your book listing, Amazon Author Central and your own website — so AI systems and readers find one clear picture of you.
06
Author platform (optional)
A dedicated author or book website, built on the same infrastructure as the rest of your digital presence — extendable with GEO and AI visibility work later.
Editions & Pricing
Three editions, built around how serious the project is.
Pricing reflects real production time and real costs — typesetting, design tools, ISBN registration and proofing rounds — not a guess. Every edition includes two full rounds of revisions.

Three rounds of revisions included
Start with Authority
On revisions and scope. Each edition includes a defined number of revision rounds because most projects need them and we'd rather price that in honestly than pretend otherwise. Beyond the included rounds, or for late manuscript changes, re-typesetting after content additions, or repeated re-sends of cover briefs, further work is billed at £95/hour, agreed with you before any work begins. Manuscripts over the typical word count, heavily illustrated books, or projects needing significant editorial tidy-up first are quoted separately once we've seen the material.
Images, footnotes & endnotes — priced separately. Default pricing assumes manuscripts are supplied as plain text with images already print-ready: correct resolution, correct format, no editing required. Where images need retouching, upscaling, colour correction or sourcing, this is charged per image once we've seen what's involved. Footnotes and endnotes are excluded from default typesetting — cross-referencing and renumbering by hand is genuinely slow, careful work, and is quoted as a fixed premium per manuscript once we know how many you have.
Ellie White
Your book is published through Ellie White, our publishing imprint — a genuine ISBN owner with its own catalogue, editorial process and print-on-demand infrastructure. Your Amazon KDP account is set up and held in your own name throughout; we take no responsibility for ongoing sales, royalties or account administration once your book is live.
