What authors usually misunderstand

Many authors expect a book to be published in weeks. Professional production — editing, design, formatting, metadata, and distribution setup — takes time to do correctly.

FloodGate's approach

FloodGate provides a structured timeline at project start. You always know what stage your book is in and what happens next.

What this means for you

Plan for months, not days. Quality production is worth the wait.
