What people say
“I entered the QuillBees contest without expecting much, and a while later I was holding my own book. Foreshadowing Child is my first, and the team took it as seriously as if I were an author with ten behind me.”
“My poems are in Hindi, and I wanted them handled with care. QuillBees did that. Unkahe Lafz looks and reads the way I hoped, and I never felt rushed or talked down to.”

Questions authors ask
Do I need a finished manuscript?+
No. Some authors write to us with an idea and some with a book that is ready to print. Pick the stage that is closest and we will take it from there.
What kinds of book do you work with?+
Any kind: stories, poetry, non-fiction, children's books, art and comics, photo books and more, in any language. If it is a book, tell us about it.
What will it cost?+
It depends on what the book needs, so we do not quote before we have read about it. Once we have, we will talk about it openly and in writing.
Who will see my work?+
Only our team. We use a sample to reply to you, and we do not share it.
What if you are not the right fit?+
We will tell you honestly, and say what we would do in your place. A clear no is better than a slow maybe.
