Absolutely, if your goal is a standout launch with stronger credibility markers and higher market positioning. Premier helps first-time authors enter the industry at a noticeably more professional tier. If your goal is to just get your book out there so that you can say you’re a published author, one of the lower tiers is probably a better fit for you.
Many first-time authors don’t have the full amount upfront. We offer flexible payment options so you can begin the process without delaying your publishing goals. If you’re committed to finishing your book, we’ll work with you to find a manageable structure.
