Authors who let us name them.

The fixed-price proposal meant I knew exactly what I was committing to before I signed anything. The work came in on time, on budget, and I kept every right. That's rare.

I'd worked with three other services before American Publisher. The difference is the attention — every stage felt considered, not just processed. The book looks and reads exactly as I imagined it.

Zero KDP rejections — they handled everything. Metadata, categories, A+ content. My book was live and correctly categorised on the first upload. I haven't touched the account since.

Section 06 — Guarantees

Things we put in writing.

Each of these is in your contract, in plain English, on page one.

Author retains 100% of rights.

Copyright transfers to you on final payment. We never licence, resell, or retain any claim on your work.

Fixed price, fixed scope.

The number in the proposal is the number on the invoice. If scope grows, we re-quote in writing before any additional work begins.

KDP-acceptance promise.

If your files are rejected at upload for a technical reason we caused, we fix it free — typically within 24 hours.

Confidentiality, always.

A mutual NDA is signed before any brief is shared. We never disclose client names, titles, or any project detail.
