FAQs

  • We offer a variety of services and offer you the freedom to choose from our menu of options so you’re not stuck paying for services you don’t need. Every book is different and every author's journey is unique. We value transparency, so we offer each service a la carte for a set, standard price. Our services can be customized into a bundle package that is personalized to YOU and we offer a tiered discount depending on the number of services you choose. 

    1 service = Flat rate

    2-5 services = 10% discount

    6+ services = 20% discount

    For example, if you chose:

    Social Media Management - $25 an hour at 3 hours a week for 4 weeks
    Content Pull - $50 for 100K words
    Promotional Content Creation - $100

    You would receive a 10% discount on your total invoice! That’s a savings of $45!

    But if you decide you want to add on 2 more services, you’ll get an even greater savings! For example:

    Social Media Management - $25 an hour at 3 hours a week for 4 weeks
    Content Pull - $50 for 100K words
    Promotional Content Creation - $100

    Newsletter Creation - $60
    Email management - $20 an hour at 2 hours a week for 4 weeks

    You would receive a 20% discount, saving you over $100

    We leave selecting your services entirely up to you and your needs. If you choose 3 services to start and decide to scale up, we will automatically apply that new discount percentage to your next invoice. Our goal is to support you the way you need to be supported, so we have put the power in your hands.

  • Due to the customizable nature of our packages, we want to spend 15-20 minutes in a quick chat about your book, your brand, your needs and expectations. We see you as more than a client, we see you as a creator and an artist. It is important to us that we build a rapport and build trust in each other. The initial consultation is not to try to sell you on products or services you don’t need, it is to get to know you and your voice so we can give you the best service possible.

  • Great question! We are a team of 3 writers with our own skillsets, strengths, and credentials. Between us we have 3 BA degrees, 1 MA degree, and a combined 37 years of experience in our respective fields, including social media management and marketing, editing, drafting, and proofreading, and client care and service. For more specific information, check out our About Us page!

  • At this time we are not publishing books.

  • At this time we are hosting events in very small, local capacities. We aim to scale this as appropriate in order to do it well and do it right. For now, we offer event sourcing, application management and tracking, and event prep!

  • This is a great question, and you might notice that not everyone who offers ARC services has this same requirement. The security of the intellectual property of our clients is of the utmost importance to us, and we take the hard work authors put into their novels very seriously. Pirating ARCs is, unfortunately, very common. As an author support service we are going to do everything in our power to protect that intellectual property, and that includes vetting our ARC readers. Integrity matters, even on the internet.

  • Your time and money is valuable. Our time and skills are valuable. In order to ensure that your expectation and our skills are aligning, we design custom contracts for each author that outlines timelines, services expected, deliverables, and anything else that may come up in our contact call to ensure that everyone knows everything that is supposed to happen. We want you to have a document that we signed saying “This is what we’re going to do for you, at this price, by this time”. The contract protects us both, and is a map for our relationship.

  • We are currently building our ARC reader team, building a library of templates and graphics exclusively for our community, and interviewing authors to sign on as clients. Make sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter to stay up-to-date with everything we are doing. Any new opportunities, events, and happenings will be included there!

  • Oh no! We hate to hear that! First things first, please refer to the contract we emailed you. Then, please send us an email at info@ashleyindiehouse.com with the contract attached and some details about the issue. Someone will reach out to you within 24-48 hours so we can come up with a solution. Your satisfaction is our number one priority, and we want to make it right, every time.

  • No, we will never compromise our author’s work by using Artificial Intelligence. At Ashley Independent House we are committed to authentic, human created content.
