Lawyers: Become a book author in one hour
1. Title and outline. First we suggest a half dozen potential titles and taglines. After you select one of our topic ideas or provide your own, we send you a suggested table of contents with questions we will pose in an interview.
2. Interview. Our veteran attorney-editors will schedule a one-hour recorded Zoom session with you at a mutually acceptable time, during which we will obtain your answers to our questions plus any other content you want to provide.
3. Manuscript. We transcribe, edit, and organize the content you provided, and supplement it with our own content. We use a GPT loaded with our thousands of law book pages in your specialty, and guide the GPT to create original, consumer-oriented versions of our practitioner-drafted and attorney-edited material.
4. Branding. We design a front cover, and provide descriptive content for the back page. We use your photo and bio to create an About the Author section.
5. Review and printing. We send everything to you to look over, and make any changes you request. Upon approval, we obtain printed copies and ship them to your office. We also email you a PDF.
We will create your custom book for a one-time fee of $2,500, payable half upfront and half upon completion. The book is yours to permanently keep and use as you wish.
Use the calendar to the left to learn more in an appointment with me. I will show samples of books we have created and answer your questions.

How many printed copies are included?
Our price includes a dozen printed copies. You can print more using the PDF we provide, or we can add copies to our initial print run at our cost plus 10%.
How long does the production process take?
Our work takes us about six weeks to complete. Add another week to schedule your interview, and another week for your review of our manuscript, for a total of 8 weeks on average.
Do I have a say in the book’s title and its cover design?
What specialties do you have practitioner-drafted content for?
Asset protection, bankruptcy, business litigation, criminal law, drunk driving, employment law, estate planning, family law, personal injury, and Social Security disability.
How can I use my book?
Display it in your office, offer it on your website, promote it on social media, sell it on Amazon, link to it in your lead-nurturing series, and give it to referral sources. We can help with promotion, though we have to charge extra for that work.
Do I own the rights to my book?
Yes, 100%. And we put that in writing.
May I repurpose the book’s content, say for blog posts, webinars, etc.?
Definitely. The book and its content belong to you.
Do you use ChatGPT?
Yes, but only to rewrite the content that we provide. We have over 100,000 pages of practitioner-drafted content that we have GPTs redirect for consumers. Every book we create is 100% custom and based on a combination of our GPT-rewritten law book content and the information we receive from you.
What portion of the book does my content comprise?
On average 20 pages out of a 100-page book are specific to you and your practice. We typically begin each book with an FAQ section and end with a conclusion provided 100% by you in our Zoom session. We also draft an About the Author section and finish the book with a pitch to retain your firm.
May I edit your writing before publication?
Yes. We send you the finished manuscript for review and approval before printing any copies. For efficiency we ask that you provide all your changes in one batch.
