Working draft — pending counsel review
Competitive-comparison pages carry legal risk if any claim about another company can't be verified. This page is a non-attorney draft, posted for transparency while we engage outside counsel to review competitive claims specifically. We do not have verified, current data on any other company's pricing or features, so this page states only facts about CD-Publishing itself — anywhere we'd normally compare, we ask you to verify with the other company directly instead. If anything below conflicts with the engagement agreement at checkout, the engagement agreement controls. Email info@conspiracyden.com with questions.
Instead of asserting facts about a competitor we haven't independently verified, here's exactly what CD-Publishing is and what it charges — you can compare it yourself.
Stage 1 (Idea to Book) $1,499 · Stage 2 (Draft to Book) $4,999 · Stage 3 (Polished to Press) $11,999 · Stage 3 Marketing-Only $3,499 for finished manuscripts. One-time fees, no royalty cut. Ask any publisher you're evaluating: is their price all-in, or does it grow with add-ons before you're told?
We are not a publisher in the trade-publishing sense — we charge a fee for the work, not a commission on your sales. You own the copyright and the royalties, full stop. Ask any publisher you're evaluating: do you keep 100% of your royalties, or does the company take a cut?
The Forge drafts chapters with AI against your voice and your Framework canon (characters, locations, relationships). Nothing moves to production without your explicit sign-off in the Approvals queue. We don't bundle a human ghostwriter or editor into any tier — see who this isn't for if that matters to you.
Reject your first milestone within 72 hours of delivery and we refund you automatically, no review required — see the Quality Charter for full terms. Ask any publisher you're evaluating: is their guarantee automatic, or is it a "case-by-case" promise?
We'll expand this page with a direct side-by-side once we have counsel-reviewed, independently verifiable data about other companies' current pricing and terms. Until then, we'd rather ask you the right questions than guess at someone else's answers.
