Digital Debut: Your book, professionally published, ebook first

Your book, professionally published, ebook first.

Digital Debut is the starter tier for first-time Caribbean authors. You get a professionally edited ebook, a clean cover, an ISBN registered in your name, and distribution to Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo. The price is GYD 140,000, or USD 700, and you can add print later when you are ready.

The price.

GYD 140,000. Or USD 700 for international authors.

Payment is split fifty-fifty. Fifty percent deposit begins production. The remaining fifty percent is due when you sign the final-proof approval, the same moment you authorize the ebook to go live on Amazon, Apple, and Kobo.

MMG+, bank transfer, and Stripe-processed card payments are all accepted.

Who this package is for.

First-time memoirists working on a careful budget. Poets ready to put a collection out without a printed run on day one. Family historians who want a book the grandchildren can read on a phone, anywhere they live in the world. Authors who want to test the manuscript on the digital shelves before committing to print.

Digital Debut is also right for the author who has read about the cost of vanity publishers and self-publishing services and wants a real ebook launch without the markup. The price covers the work. There is no second invoice.

This package is not the right fit for executives, business authors, or anyone whose book needs print copies in hand on launch day. Look at Professional Launch or Authority Standard instead.

What you get.

A copy edit by a professional editor. The reader will not catch the grammar or the typos because the editor caught them first.

A clean, basic cover designed for the digital storefront. Recognizable at thumbnail size, professional in the listing, and built to the platforms' specifications.

Ebook formatting that displays correctly across Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo. No reader complaints about broken paragraphs or weird spacing.

An ISBN registered in your name. You are the publisher of record on every platform. Your name appears on the registration database.

Distribution to Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo. Three of the largest ebook platforms in the world.

One round of revisions after the editorial pass. You read the edits, mark what you want to keep and what you want to change, and send it back.

Same-day review at every editorial gate. Four to eight hours, usually less. You are not waiting weeks for a reply.

Timeline.

Six to eight weeks from signed contract to live ebook.

Weeks one and two. Editorial pass. You receive the edited manuscript with tracked changes.

Week three. Your revision response. You sign off on the editorial gate.

Weeks four and five. Cover design and ebook formatting. You approve the cover at the design gate.

Week six. Final proof. You sign the publication gate. The ebook goes live across Amazon, Apple, and Kobo.

Weeks seven and eight. Buffer for revisions, platform approval, or schedule shifts. Most authors come in inside week six.

How Digital Debut protects you.

Your name is on the ISBN. You are the publisher of record on every platform.

Your KDP, Apple Books, and Kobo accounts are in your name with your bank wiring. Royalties flow directly to your bank, never ours.

We do not take a percentage of your royalties. Not a cent. The platforms pay you. We are paid the one-time service fee on this page.

Nothing publishes without your signed approval at the editorial, design, and final-proof gates.

You can take the book and leave at any time. Your manuscript file, your cover file, your account access. Nothing is locked behind us.

Frequently asked questions about Digital Debut.

What is included in the Digital Debut package?

Copy edit, basic cover design, ebook formatting, ISBN registration in your name, distribution to Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo, one round of revisions, and same-day editorial review at every gate. Six to eight weeks from contract to live ebook. Price is GYD 140,000 or USD 700, fifty percent deposit, fifty percent at final-proof signature.

Can I add print later if I start with Digital Debut?

Yes. Many Digital Debut authors add a paperback edition six to twelve months after launch once the ebook has proven the audience. We offer a paperback add-on at a discounted rate when you upgrade within twelve months. The cover is redesigned for print, the interior is laid out for paperback dimensions, and the new edition lists on Amazon and IngramSpark. Pricing for the add-on is published when you ask. For full rights and account ownership details, see our author rights page.

Where will my book be sold?

On Digital Debut, your ebook is distributed to three major platforms: Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo. Together these cover most ebook readers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. We can add Google Play Books and other platforms on request. If you want IngramSpark for global library and bookstore distribution, you need the Professional Launch tier or higher because IngramSpark is built around print.

Do I have to be in Guyana to publish with TSCP?

No. We publish authors across the Caribbean and the diaspora. Authors in Trinidad, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada have the same access to every tier. Payment is in GYD for Caribbean-resident authors and in USD for everyone else. Editorial calls happen on Zoom, in the time zone that works for you.

Wondering whether Digital Debut is the right fit?

If you need print on the shelf at launch, look at Professional Launch. If you want hardcover and a Caribbean media launch profile, look at Authority Standard. If your manuscript still needs work before you commit to a package, the Subscription tier is the place to start.
