STEP 2: BOOK PACKAGES

---

After reading your free first chapter, you’ll have a clear sense of how your story can come to life—how your voice sounds on the page, how memories can be preserved in a way that’s both moving and meaningful. If you decide you’d like to move forward, payment is required before we create and deliver your personalized outline. This ensures we can devote the time, care, and creative attention your story deserves from that point forward.

Once payment is received, you’ll receive your custom chapter-by-chapter outline and choose the book package that best reflects the depth of your journey—whether it’s a few defining chapters or a full, sweeping life story. However much you choose to share, we’ll help you preserve it with clarity, beauty, and lasting meaning.

Each chapter will be between 900 and 1,100 words, giving the reader just the right amount to absorb without feeling overwhelmed. This format keeps your story moving at a compelling pace, creating momentum and anticipation—chapter after chapter—with your voice naturally drawing the reader forward.

To help you decide on the right length, keep in mind: 10 chapters (at 1,000 words each) typically produces a printed book of about 55 to 60 pages. This is perfect for a short life overview, a tribute to a specific time period, or a milestone memoir.

On the other hand, most full-length biographies range from 150 to 300 pages, depending on the level of detail. If you’d like your story to explore a wide range of life experiences, relationships, or themes, you might consider a 20-, 30-, or even 40-chapter biography. The beauty of our process is that it grows with your story. You don’t have to know everything up front—we’ll help shape it with you, one chapter at a time.

15 Chapters — $1,500 — $100 per chapter

At Eternal Ink, we do our best to make this process both accessible and sustainable—for you and for us. Below is everything you need to know about payment, pacing, and how we get your book written.

We currently accept the following payment options:

• Venmo @ETERNAL_INK (Preferred) 

• Cash App $ETERNALINKDB

• Wise (for international clients)

• Check or Cash (for in-person or mailed arrangements—please note: for checks, no work will begin until the check has cleared)

We’ll send you clear instructions for your chosen method once you’re ready to begin.

To begin your full book project, we require a minimum payment of $1,000.

That initial amount includes:

• Your complete chapter-by-chapter outline

• Your first 10 written chapters, based on your recordings

No additional chapters will be written beyond Chapter 10 until further payments are made.

We understand that paying $3,000 upfront for a 40-chapter book isn’t feasible for everyone. That’s why we offer a simple and flexible plan:

• Each $100 payment = 1 completed chapter

• You can pay as you’re ready—one chapter at a time or in larger increments

• Once the full agreed-upon payment is received, we will complete the remainder of your book without delay

This allows you to move at your own pace while still seeing steady progress.

We’re committed to working quickly without sacrificing quality. If you send us multiple chapter recordings in a day (up to 5 per day), we’ll match your momentum and aim to return 5 completed chapters within 24 hours—as long as there are no internet or technical delays.

If anything slows us down, we’ll keep you updated daily so you always know where your project stands.

Your story matters—and we’ll treat it with the care, urgency, and respect it deserves.

If you have questions about payment or pacing, we’re always happy to talk it through.
