A full-spectrum production engine that transforms raw expertise into market-ready, bestseller-grade non-fiction — in 90 days.
2-minute application. Selective intake.
STATUS: UNWRITTEN // POTENTIAL: UNREALIZED
Your expertise is the signal. We build the transmission infrastructure.
BRIDGE THE GAP →You've spent years building frameworks, closing deals, and leading teams. The intellectual property is there — but converting it into a structured, market-ready manuscript is a completely different problem.
Most founders try anyway. Most founders stall. The issue was never the ideas — it was the production system.
You've built businesses, led teams, closed deals. But the book? That's a different machine entirely.
Six-figure ghostwriting delivers unscored manuscripts. Life Engine delivers algorithmically scored authority assets.
A stage-locked engineering pipeline that transforms raw expertise into a scored authority asset. Each gate must clear before the next begins.
Eliminate omission risk. Ingest all artifacts. No summarizing, no rewriting, no deciding what matters — yet.
Build a distortion-free map of the client's IP. Normalize inputs. Preserve contradictions. Detect motifs.
Separate durable insight from conversational noise. Deconstruct anecdotes into principles.
Lock the argument before prose. No writing proceeds until the structure survives pressure.
Restore human authority without reintroducing noise. Produce within constraints. Score iteratively.
Prevent substandard release. Manuscript scored against objective criteria before delivery.
Every project that exits the Life Engine is a deployed asset — engineered, scored, and market-ready.
A non-fiction book engineered from concept to market-ready manuscript using the Life Engine's full-spectrum production pipeline.
A proprietary evaluation system that scores every manuscript against structural, cognitive, and market criteria associated with bestseller performance. This is the quality gate that separates scored authority assets from unscored manuscripts.

Life Engine is selecting 5 founders and operators to receive the full production engine at an 88% subsidy off the standard rate. In exchange, these founding projects help validate and demonstrate the system.
No compromises on quality or deliverables. You receive the same forensic extraction, voice calibration, BSA optimization, and production pipeline as a full-rate engagement.
Chapter 1, Executive Summary, and a BSA preliminary score — delivered at full quality before you commit. If the work doesn’t speak for itself, you walk away.
A reduced rate in exchange for being among the first through the engine. When these spots fill, standard pricing applies.
5 spots. When filled, standard pricing applies.
Life Engine partners with a curated group of leading literary agents who specialize in high-impact nonfiction in business, leadership, psychology, and innovation.
Our role is not to replace agents — it is to prepare authors and ideas so that agents can do their best work: placing powerful, market-ready books with the right publishers at the right time.
Our Agent Network is intentionally small and invitation-only. We work only with agents who share our commitment to intellectual rigor, narrative clarity, and long-term impact.
Not every Life Engine project will pursue traditional publishing — but for those that do, our Agent Network provides a meaningful pathway into the marketplace.
Two engagement levels. Same engine. Same algorithmic quality threshold.
Full-spectrum book production — from expertise extraction through market-ready manuscript, interior, and cover.
Everything in Enterprise Narrative, plus audiobook production, launch strategy, and ongoing optimization.
A book isn't an expense — it's infrastructure. Model the downstream value.
Published authors command 2-5× higher speaking fees. Your book becomes your credential.
Authority positioning enables premium pricing. Clients pay more for published experts.
Books generate warm inbound leads. One enterprise deal can return the entire investment.
Compounding media opportunities, podcast invitations, and industry recognition.
* Projections based on market data from published executive authors. Individual results vary based on market positioning and execution.
A book is infrastructure, not a deliverable. Every engagement produces assets that compound across your business.
50,000–65,000 words extracted, structured, and refined from your existing expertise. BSA-scored above 9.0 before release. Interior designed for print and digital.
Your book’s structure maps directly to a course or certification program. Chapter gates become module gates. Thesis becomes curriculum thesis.
Each chapter contains a standalone talk. Your book produces 10–15 keynote-ready frameworks without additional content creation.
Proprietary models, diagnostics, and frameworks extracted during production become licensable intellectual property you own outright.
BSA scorecard, market positioning brief, and competitive analysis. Data-backed evidence that your book outperforms category benchmarks.
Print-ready PDF, eBook (EPUB/MOBI), Kindle-optimized, audiobook-ready manuscript. All formats, all platforms, all rights retained by you.
Precision requires boundaries. Here is exactly what Life Engine does — and what it does not.
We don't accept every project. Life Engine is built for founders, operators, and subject-matter experts whose IP has structural depth. If your expertise can sustain a book-length argument with defensible claims, you're a fit. If you're looking for a vanity project or memoir without a thesis, we'll tell you upfront.
The timeline is enforced by the stage-gated pipeline itself. Each stage has defined inputs, outputs, and gate criteria. There are no open-ended revision loops or subjective editorial debates. The structure prevents timeline drift by design, not by promise.
Yes. Stage 2 (Forensic Baseline) and Stage 3 (Signal Isolation) produce artifacts you review before any writing begins. You approve the structural blueprint, the thesis lock, and the voice calibration. Nothing enters production without your sign-off on direction.
It doesn't ship. The Bestseller Algorithm scores against objective structural, cognitive, and market criteria. If the score falls below threshold, the manuscript re-enters the revision cycle at our cost — not yours. The release gate exists to protect your asset, not to rush it.
Revisions are built into the pipeline at Stage 5 (Voice Synthesis). Iterative BSA scoring drives revision cycles until criteria clear. This isn't a "three rounds of edits" model — it's a score-driven loop that continues until the manuscript meets threshold. The system decides when it's done, not a calendar.
That's what it's built for. Unlike legacy ghostwriting which optimizes for narrative or memoir, Life Engine produces authority assets engineered to establish category credibility and drive downstream conversions — speaking, consulting, program enrollment, or enterprise sales.
No. We don’t rewrite you. The extraction process captures your actual voice — your cadence, your frameworks, your way of explaining things. The production pipeline engineers your existing voice into a structure that sells it. You approve the voice calibration before any writing begins.
You do. Completely. All rights, all formats, all revenue. Life Engine builds the asset — you own it outright. We don’t take royalties, we don’t retain rights, and we don’t claim co-authorship. Your name, your book, your intellectual property.
Archive submission plus 3–6 structured interviews. We extract, you approve. The heavy lifting is in the production engine, not on your calendar. Most clients spend 8–12 hours total across the engagement — the rest is our pipeline working on your existing content.
We’re not an agency. We don’t run campaigns, manage accounts, or sell retainers. We build a single, defined asset with contracted deliverables, milestone check-ins, and an algorithmic quality gate that prevents anything substandard from shipping. Every stage has a defined output you approve before the next stage begins.
If you have 10+ years of deep expertise, a body of existing content, and the ambition to turn it into a category-defining book — apply for a production assessment.
