What does a sermon-to-book project cost?
Every project is quoted individually; there’s no per-word rate or pricing grid. The honest answer is an explanation of what moves the number, and a free assessment that gets you a real one.
What actually moves the number
- Partnership level
- Three options: Book Draft delivers a complete manuscript with revision rounds. Publication-Ready adds the publishing setup so your book reaches readers on Amazon and beyond. Ministry Partnership is an ongoing content relationship built around your teaching.
- Scope of the archive
- A focused 4-8 sermon series becoming a mini-book is a smaller engagement than a full 10-12 chapter book drawn from a deep archive.
- Add-ons
- Study guides, small group curriculum, audiobook script prep, and similar extensions each carry their own scope. Some are included at higher partnership levels.
The other cost: your time
For a 10-chapter book, plan on roughly 15-25 hours of your own time spread over a few months: a 30-minute discovery call, 20-30 minutes of style guide intake, 1-2 hours of review per chapter, and a final pass. The heavy lifting (transcription, drafting, structure, polish) is ours; the voice and the final say are yours.

The free assessment looks at your actual archive and comes back with an honest read and a custom quote. No commitment either way.
