The publishing studio of Crystal Swain-Bates

You have something worth publishing. We turn it into a book worth putting your name on.

Maybe you’ve written the manuscript. Maybe you’ve been teaching the book for years in your courses, workshops, or mastermind, without ever putting it on the page. We take what you’ve created and turn it into professionally published books, workbooks, and guided journals that support your business and reflect the quality of your expertise. From shaping the content to designing the finished product, we handle the work of bringing it to life.

Her book was already inside her membership. We built WANTED Woman directly from her membership portal, shaped her course content into a manuscript in her voice, then designed and published it.

It launched with a foreword by Paul C. Brunson and reached bestseller status.

Meet Crystal

Hi, I'm Crystal. And I care about your book as much as you do.

From the desk of Crystal Swain-Bates

To the expert with a book in you,

Most people think of a book as the finish line. For me, it's the beginning. I can look at a book and immediately see what else it could become: a workbook, a guided journal, a workshop, a whole line of products built from the same ideas.

And I got tired of seeing two things. Accomplished people sitting on knowledge they could publish, and accomplished people who finally did publish, only to get burned.

I've seen authors pay thousands to a hybrid press, only to find out they don't own their book. They can't list it on Amazon themselves. They can't change the price. They can't even get their own files. I've seen brilliant experts hand over their life's work and get back a cover that looked ten years old the day it launched.

You deserve better than that. So I built better.

Here, you keep 100% of your rights and your royalties. Your book is published under your own accounts, so it's yours. Always.

And it looks like it belongs next to the bestsellers. My clients tell me the same thing all the time: their books look more modern and more polished than anything they got anywhere else. That's not an accident. I have a strong eye for design, and I obsess over the details, because your book is a reflection of the quality you bring to your clients every day.

I've sold more than 750,000 copies of my own books, so I know what it takes to make a book that people actually pick up, buy, and use.

Your book is your legacy, your business card, and your best salesperson. Let's make it something you're proud to hand to anyone.

With care, Crystal Crystal Swain-Bates Founder & Publishing Director

P.S. If your book is still living inside a course or a membership, that's exactly where we start. See how Course-to-Book works.

FAQ

Questions authors ask

Which service is right for me?

It depends on what you already have. If your book is living inside a course, membership, or video library, start with Course-to-Book. If you have a published book, Workbook Creation turns it into a companion product. If you have a manuscript, Book Publishing designs and publishes it. Not sure? Book a call and we'll tell you.

How does Course-to-Book work?

We review your courses, recordings, and teaching materials, find the book inside them, and build the structure with you. Then we write the manuscript in your voice, you review it, and we edit, design, and publish it. Projects start at $12,000. It's how we built Coach Cass's bestseller directly from her membership portal.

I don't have a manuscript. Can you still build my book?

Yes. If you've been teaching the material in courses, workshops, or a membership, Course-to-Book builds the book from that content. You don't need to write anything first.

Will a book built from my course sound like me?

Yes. Your own teaching is the foundation for the voice, language, and point of view. We adapt spoken material for the page, and you review the manuscript to make sure it represents you accurately.

What does Book Publishing include?

Book Publishing is $3,500 and includes custom interior and cover design and publishing for your publish-ready manuscript. If your manuscript needs more work, add editing starting at $1,500.

What is an official workbook, and do I have to write it?

An official workbook turns the frameworks and action steps in your book into guided exercises, so readers apply what they read. You don't write it. We write every exercise straight from your book, in your voice, and you review and approve.

Can my book and workbook launch together?

Yes. The Book + Workbook Bundle edits, designs, and publishes the book you've already written and creates its official workbook, so both launch together.

How long does it take?

Workbooks take about seven weeks from kickoff to final files. Publishing timelines depend on your manuscript. Course-to-Book schedules are set after we review your source material. We'll map out yours on a call.

Do I keep my rights and royalties?

Yes. Everything is published under your own accounts. You keep your intellectual property, full rights, and 100 percent of your royalties.

How does payment work?

Every project is split into two payments: 60% to begin, and 40% when your final files are delivered.

How do I get started?

Book a call and tell us what you're working with: a course, a book, or a manuscript. For workbooks, you can also see your finish date with our timeline tool.
