Scribe Media has built a strong reputation in the business book publishing world since 2014. Founded by Tucker Max and acquired by Enduring Ventures in 2023, they've helped publish over 2,000 books, including 23 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers. Their client roster features impressive names like David Goggins and Tiffany Haddish.

What they do well: Scribe's interview-based ghostwriting process is genuinely innovative—they capture your voice through recorded conversations, so you never have to write a word yourself. Their quality standards are exceptional, with design and editing that rivals traditional "Big Five" publishers. They're selective about clients (rejecting about 30% of applicants), which means they only work with authors they believe in.

Who they're best for: Established executives, CEOs, and entrepreneurs earning $250,000+ annually who need a premium service and have the budget to match.

Typical investment: Their flagship Scribe Professional package runs $56,000 over 12 months, with Elite Ghostwriting starting at $135,000+. Marketing support requires an additional $18,000+ investment beyond the base publishing package.

If you're a consultant or coach looking for faster timelines, integrated marketing, and more accessible pricing, Co*Author might be a better fit for your needs.
