Frequently Ask Question
Do I have to be an experienced writer to participate?
Nope! Weโll guide you through the writing process and provide developmental and technical editing. Think of your chapter as a long-form blog postโwe help make it shine.
How long does my chapter need to be?
Chapters are typically 2,500โ3,500 words. Weโll provide you guidance to help you structure your message so itโs clear, compelling, and aligned with the bookโs theme.
Who owns the rights to my chapter?
You retain the copyright to your work. Eaton Press holds exclusive publishing rights for 2 years to include your chapter in the book and related materials.
Do I get to approve edits?
Youโll have the chance to review and approve developmental edits. Technical edits and formatting are handled by the publishing team for consistency and quality.
Will I get a copy of the book cover with my name on it?
Yes, youโll receive a personalized cover graphic for social media and email promotion (not for publishing or Amazon use).
What is the time commitment?
Youโll write your chapter, attend two training sessions, complete a short author interview, and support the launch with a contact list and a few social shares. The writing process is the most time intensive and typically takes 2-4 hours.
What if I want to participate but canโt attend the in-person launch event?
No problem! The in-person launch is optional. All authors will be featured in the virtual launch, receive full marketing support, and still get the same visibility and benefits from the book. You wonโt miss out on any of the impact.
Can I use my chapter as a lead magnet?
Yes! You can share your chapter with leads, clients, and referral partners to build authority and generate business.
