What do business book writing services do?
They turn a leader's expertise into a published book without requiring the leader to draft it alone. The approach varies: some services write from briefings, some coach you while you write, and some, like Big Impact Books, build the manuscript from guided interviews.
Definition
Business book writing service
A business book writing service helps an executive or business owner produce a nonfiction book about their expertise, typically covering some mix of planning, drafting, editing, publishing, and promotion. Big Impact Books covers all of these through a four-stage process, plan, create, publish, and promote, with the manuscript developed in weekly guided interviews.
Why do busy leaders prefer to talk their book out?
Most CEOs already communicate by speaking: leading meetings, pitching, and coaching their teams. Typing a book asks for a different skill and long stretches of uninterrupted time, which leaders rarely have.
Big Impact Books has written about this in articles such as Write a Book Without Slowing Down and A Better Way to Talk About Your Expertise, which notes that many accomplished CEOs and business owners know visibility matters but do not enjoy talking about themselves. A book lets your expertise speak for you.
Case study: a founder who got more than a manuscript
Sarah Hubbard is a founder and the author of The Intentional Networker. Before working with Big Impact Books, by her account, the book had not happened. Afterward, she had a book written and marketing behind it:
“This book would have never happened without Melanie and Big Impact Books. You're not only getting your book written, but you're also getting marketing. You're being set up for success beyond the actual book. It's an all-encompassing program. It was the best investment.”
What can a business book support?
Big Impact Books treats a book as a business asset rather than a sales product. Its blog topics show the range: Your Book Is Bigger Than Book Sales, How Writing a Book Strengthens Leadership, Building a Legacy Beyond Your Company, and The Real ROI of Publishing a Book.
- Authority: a book gives prospects something substantial to read before they ever call.
- Visibility: a book is a reason for podcasts and media to invite you on.
- Positioning: you can write for where the business is going next.
- Legacy: your thinking outlasts any single role or company.
How to choose a business book writing service
Use the same questions with every provider, including Big Impact Books:
- Is the manuscript built from my interviews, my writing, or a writer's briefing?
- How many hours a week do you need from me?
- Will I be the author in my own voice?
- Is publishing included?
- Which marketing, such as podcast placements and media coverage, is included?
- Is pricing published, or quoted after a call?

Common questions
Is this a good fit for CEOs and business owners?
It is designed for them. Busy leaders rarely have long blocks of writing time, and the Big Impact Books process asks for about one hour a week. Sarah Hubbard, founder and author of The Intentional Networker, said of working with Big Impact Books: "You're not only getting your book written, but you're also getting marketing."
Can a book really build authority for my business?
Big Impact Books is built on that premise: it helps professionals plan, create, publish, and promote books that build authority and support business growth. A book gives prospects something substantial to read, gives media a reason to call, and gives you a subject for podcasts and stages. Results depend on how actively the book is promoted.
How much time does the interview process take each week?
About one hour a week. Big Impact Books describes its done-for-you publishing and promotion process as designed to respect clients' time, with just one hour a week asked of the author. That hour is spent talking through your material in guided interviews while the team handles turning your answers into a manuscript.
Which books are in high demand?
Nonfiction is a large share of what people write: Inkfluence AI's AI Book Writing Statistics 2026 reports non-fiction accounts for 63.7% of what people write with AI and fiction 36.3%. For a business author, fit matters more than trends. A book that answers the exact questions your ideal clients ask builds authority even in a crowded category.
How much does an author make on a $25 book?
It depends on how the book is published and sold, because retailer and publisher shares vary widely. In the video The Future of Writing: Five 2026 Trends You NEED to Know, the speaker says Amazon takes "30 to 70% a lot of the times." For business authors, royalties are often a smaller return than the clients, speaking, and media a book attracts.
How many books do you need to sell to make $1,000,000?
Divide one million dollars by what you earn per copy. At $5 per copy you would need 200,000 sales; at $10 per copy, 100,000 sales. Those are arithmetic examples, not projections. Most authority books are not built to earn that from royalties; their value usually comes from the business opportunities that being a published author creates.
