Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want to know about the programs, the process, pricing, and whether a book is right for your practice.

The Programs & Process

What exactly does Million Dollar Author do?

We turn professional services entrepreneurs into the 1-of-1 Authority in their market by writing and publishing a bestselling business book — and deploying it to attract premium clients. We've refined the process across 300+ books in 40+ industries, all delivered in about 90 days.

Do I have to write anything?

For MDA Elite, no — we interview you and do all the writing. For MDA Accelerator, you write with our coaching, templates, and editing support guiding every step.

What if I'm not a good writer?

For Elite, it doesn't matter — you'll never write a word. For Accelerator, our templates and coaching handle the structure; you provide the expertise. Writing ability has never been the bottleneck for any of our clients.

How long does it take?

Both programs run 90 days from kick-off to published book. We've refined this process across 300+ books to make that timeline reliable, not aspirational.

How much of my time will it take?

Far less than writing a book yourself. In MDA Elite (done-for-you) you spend roughly 20–25 hours total across the 90 day process. In MDA Accelerator (done-with-you) you write with our templates and coaching, roughly an hour a day over 30 days. Either way, the heavy lifting is on us.

What's the difference between MDA Elite and MDA Accelerator?

Elite is 100% done-for-you: we interview you and handle all the writing, editing, design, publishing, and launch — you never write a word. Accelerator is done-with-you: you write with our Rapid Writing System templates and weekly coaching, with the same professional editing, design, publishing, and launch. Both run 90 days.

What kind of books do you publish?

Business books only. We help professional services entrepreneurs position themselves as the 1-of-1 Authority in their niche. No memoirs, no fiction — only books designed to generate premium clients.

Pricing & Investment

How much does it cost?

Both programs are a significant, ROI-positive investment priced per program. Because the right number depends on your goals and which program fits, we discuss it directly on a strategy call rather than list a flat price. What matters most: a book that brings in even a few premium clients typically returns many times its cost.

Why don't you publish your prices?

Because the honest answer to “what does it cost?” is “it depends” — on your goals, your program, and the outcome you need. A flat price would either overstate or understate what's right for you. We'd rather show you what a book could return for your specific practice, then talk numbers in context.

Is it worth the investment?

For professional-services experts, a book is a client-acquisition asset, not an expense. One premium client won through the book often returns many times its full cost — and it keeps working for years. It's also why we back the work with our ROI guarantee.

How do you compare to publishers like Scribe Media?

Most publishers are built to produce a good book. We're built to produce a book that produces clients — positioning, writing, production, and launch engineered around business results for professional-services experts.

Am I a Fit?

Who is this for?

Professional services entrepreneurs — consultants, attorneys, financial advisors, agency owners, coaches — who are excellent at what they do but aren't yet recognized as the obvious authority in their market. If you have deep expertise and want it to translate into premium clients, you're who we built this for.

Do I need an existing audience or platform?

No. The entire point is to build your authority, not to require it up front. Many of our clients started as the best-kept secret in their market with no meaningful platform.

Do I need to have a book idea already?

No. Part of our process is helping you find the single most powerful book — the positioning and angle that will actually generate clients. You bring the expertise; we help shape it.

What industries do you work with?

More than 40, spanning professional services — from law and financial advice to consulting, agencies, healthcare, and beyond. The common thread is expertise sold on trust, not the specific industry.

The Book, Results & Guarantee

Will it be a real, professionally published book?

Yes — professionally ghostwritten (or coached), edited, designed, and published to a standard that competes with major-house titles, with a bestseller launch. A book that looks amateur undermines authority, which is the opposite of the point.

Will my book become a bestseller?

A bestseller launch is part of both programs, and we've done it across 300+ books. More important than the badge is what the book does afterward: position you as the 1-of-1 authority and bring in clients.

Who owns the rights to my book?

You do. It's your expertise, your name, and your book — you own the copyright and have final say on the content.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes — our ‘You Can't Fail’ Guarantee: we guarantee you will achieve ROI on your investment within 90 days of publishing. If you don't, we keep working with you until you do.

How many books have you published?

More than 300, across 40+ industries — which is how we've made the 90-day timeline and the process reliable rather than aspirational.
