Packages & Pricing

Five ways to publish with us. Every price published.

We publish all our prices. No discovery calls required to find out what something costs. No sales script designed to keep you on the phone until you commit. If you want to know what publishing with us looks like, scroll. The number is right there.

This is rare in our market. Most publishers in the Caribbean hide pricing behind a contact form. We do not. We believe an author should be able to read, think, and choose without a sales conversation getting in the way. When you do book a consultation, it is to discuss your book, not to negotiate the cost.

Digital Debut, GYD 140,000 (USD 700)

The starter tier. Ebook-first, distributed to Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo. Best for first-time authors with a memoir, a poetry collection, or a family history they want professionally produced on a careful budget. You can add print later. Six to eight weeks.

Professional Launch, GYD 350,000 (USD 1,750)

The full pipeline for serious authors. Developmental edit, copy edit, proofread, professional cover, ebook and paperback, global distribution through Amazon and IngramSpark. Twenty-five author copies in the box on your doorstep. Ten to twelve weeks. The right tier for memoir, novel-length nonfiction, and most first books that mean something.

Authority Standard, GYD 700,000 (USD 3,500)

Professional nonfiction for executives, subject-matter experts, and business authors. Everything in Professional Launch, plus indexing, endnotes, a premium cover, the hardcover option, fifty author copies, and a launch profile on La Caribeña News. Twelve to sixteen weeks.

Shaw Authority Package, GYD 1,500,000 (USD 7,500)

Full ghostwriting under the Team Shaw Caribbean imprint. We sit with you for eight to twelve hours of recorded interviews and build the manuscript from there. Premium production, global distribution, a hundred paperback copies, twenty-five hardcover copies, an Amazon Bestseller campaign, full La Caribeña News amplification, launch event coordination, and six months of post-launch support. Sixteen to twenty weeks. The author retains copyright and one hundred percent of royalties. The contract makes it stick.

Subscription, GYD 25,000/month (USD 125/month)

For the writer who is not ready to commit to a package yet. Monthly group Zoom, a private newsletter, a manuscript tools library, peer workshops, and a thirty-minute private check-in with us each month. Cancel anytime. Built for authors scoring below eighteen on the Manuscript Readiness Rubric who want structured momentum.

What every package shares.

Packages one through four take a fifty percent deposit to begin, with the balance due at the final-proof signature gate. The subscription tier bills monthly. We accept MMG+, bank transfer, and Stripe-processed cards. International authors pay in USD; Caribbean-resident authors can pay in GYD at the listed rate.

Across every tier, the same five author protections apply. Your ISBN is in your name on standard packages. Your KDP, IngramSpark, and Apple Books accounts are yours. Royalties flow directly to your bank. Nothing publishes without your signed approval at three gates. You can take your book and leave at any time with no fee.

What we don't charge for.

We do not take a percentage of your royalties. Ever. The platforms send your money to your bank, not ours.

We do not own your ISBN on standard packages. Your name is on the registration as the publisher of record. Only the Shaw Authority Package places the TSCP imprint on the spine, and that arrangement is contractually structured so all rights revert to you immediately if we cease operations.

We do not charge for the things that should not be billable: reading your manuscript before quoting, answering your questions in writing, sending you a status update when you ask for one, or telling you your book is not ready and you should work on it more before signing with us.

We do not bill for revisions inside the rounds your tier includes. We do not bill for extra proofs. We do not bill for emergency phone calls during launch week. Surprise invoices are not a business model we are willing to run.

Which package is right for me?

You are a first-time memoir, poetry, or family history author on a careful budget. Digital Debut is the right tier. You get a professionally edited ebook on the major platforms, with the option to add print later. If your manuscript is closer to seventy-five percent ready and you are willing to do one more revision pass, this is the one to pick.

You are writing a serious first book in the seventy-thousand-word range and you want it on the shelf at Amazon and IngramSpark with your name on it. Professional Launch is the right tier. You get the full editorial pipeline and the printed paperback. This is the tier most of our authors choose.

You are an executive, a subject-matter expert, or a senior professional writing on your field. Authority Standard is the right tier. You get hardcover-ready production, indexing, endnotes, and a launch profile on La Caribeña News that puts your book in front of Caribbean business media on day one.

You are a Caribbean public figure, a senior executive, or a professional whose schedule will not allow you to draft a manuscript. Shaw Authority Package is the right tier. We write the book under our imprint. Your name is on the cover. Your copyright. Your royalties. The contract makes it explicit.

You are not sure yet, or you scored below eighteen on the readiness rubric, or you want to write more steadily before committing to a package. The Subscription tier is the right starting point. Move into a package later when you are ready.

Frequently asked questions about pricing.

How much does it cost to publish a book with TSCP?

It depends on the tier. Digital Debut is GYD 140,000 or USD 700 for an ebook-first launch. Professional Launch is GYD 350,000 or USD 1,750 for the full pipeline with print. Authority Standard is GYD 700,000 or USD 3,500. The Shaw Authority Package, our full ghostwriting tier, is GYD 1,500,000 or USD 7,500. The Subscription tier is GYD 25,000 or USD 125 per month. Every number is on this page. No discovery call needed.

Which package is right for a first-time memoir author?

Most first-time memoirists fit Professional Launch at GYD 350,000. It includes the full developmental edit, copy edit, proofread, cover, ebook, paperback, and global distribution. If your budget is tighter and you can publish ebook-first, Digital Debut at GYD 140,000 is the path. If you are still drafting, the Subscription tier at GYD 25,000 per month gives you coaching and accountability while you finish the manuscript.

Why do you publish your prices?

Two reasons. First, hiding prices behind a discovery call wastes the author's time and ours. Most Caribbean authors are choosing between us and three or four other options. Showing the number lets them compare directly. Second, opacity in this market has historically been used to charge different authors different amounts for the same work. Publishing the price makes that impossible. We charge what we charge, and you can hold us to it.

Can I pay in installments?

On packages one through four, payment is split fifty-fifty. Fifty percent is the deposit that begins production. The remaining fifty percent is due at the final-proof signature gate, the same moment you approve the book for printing. For the Shaw Authority Package specifically, we will discuss extended installments on request. The Subscription tier bills monthly and you can pause or cancel at any time.

Do you accept MMG+?

Yes. MMG+ is available for Caribbean-resident authors paying in GYD. Bank transfer in GYD or USD is also available. Card payments are processed through Stripe in USD. International wire transfers are accepted for larger packages. We send you the payment instructions when you sign the contract.

What rights do I keep when I publish with TSCP?

You keep the copyright in your book, on every tier, including the Shaw Authority Package. You keep your KDP, IngramSpark, and Apple Books accounts in your own name. You keep one hundred percent of royalties. You hold three signed approval gates through editing, design, and final proof. You can leave with the manuscript at any time.
