This isn’t just storytelling. It’s strategic authorship—optimized for AI, remembered by humans, and built to last.
What is an Authority Asset?
It’s not content. It’s your platform. An Authority Asset is a strategic, story-driven book designed to compound trust over time, drive high-value referrals, and shape how both humans and algorithms perceive your expertise. It’s your best proof: permanent, elegant, and unmistakably yours.

Books are a Legacy Investment.
Most professionals spend more on Google ads in a few months than one of these books costs in full. But ads vanish. Books endure.
Your story – when told with clarity, depth, and strategy – becomes the most powerful trust-building asset your firm will ever own.
We’re not selling content. We’re building reputations that compound over time.
Expertise should be the minimum requirement of our profession. Authority is how you present that expertise to the world, in a way that is authentic, rewarding, and long-lasting.
You've Got the Story. We've Got the Strategy
Let’s map your book, your platform, and your next chapter of authority.

Myths Series FAQ’s
What exactly is included in each package?
For the Myths Series, each tier represents a different level of authority-building:
Launchpad – For professionals, coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs validating their book concept. Includes a strategy call, custom outline, sample intro chapter, and lead magnet. Perfect for early stage ideas.
Leverage – Your full solo-authored book under the Myths imprint. Ghostwritten, edited, designed, and published for authority, trust, and referrals.
Empire – Everything in Launchpad and Leverage – plus podcast guest appearance, lead funnel support, audiobook, and strategic consulting.
Note: Anthology Offerings (Legends, Terraform, follow a separate model, as do Bespoke Options. See Imprint Pages and above on this page for those details.)
Is the audiobook included?
Yes – in the Empire tier. You can record it yourself or work with a professional narrator. In the Leverage tier it’s available as an optional add-on.
What is the lead magnet?
It’s a high-converting PDF version of your intro chapter, branded and lightly optimized with landing page copy. You’ll use it to build your email list, spark referrals, and drive leads from podcasts or speaking engagements.
I’m not ready to commit to a full book. Now what?
Start with the Launchpad (or one of our anthology series.) In Launchpad you’ll leave with a finished chapter, strategy roadmap, book outline, and lead magnet. If you upgrade to a fully written book package within 90 days, your Launchpad fee is fully credited.
How long does the process take?
Most full books are completed in 8-14 weeks, depending on your availability and tier. Anthologies run on a cohort model and begin when a group of 6 attorneys is confirmed. Empire projects may include additional time for audiobook production and post-launch strategy.
Who is Books for Experts?
Books for Experts is led by Carl Taylor, a lawyer and published author who personally oversees each book and strategy. This isn’t a mass market ghostwriting shop – it’s a high-trust, boutique publishing studio and full service authority building engine for lawyers.
Can I book a consult without committing?
Yes. Your first strategy call is 100% free. No pitch deck. no sales push. Just an honest conversation to map your next authority move – whether you hire us or not.
Anthologies Series (Legends and Terraform) FAQ’s
How do the anthology books work?
Each anthology in the Legends or Terraform Series features six attorneys from a specific state (Legends) or from a future-driven legal niche (Terraform). Each lawyer contributes a professionally crafted chapter based on a structured interview process. We ghostwrite, edit, design, and publish the entire book under the Books for Experts banner.
How much does it cost to be featured?
Each lawyer pays $5,000 to be included. One founding attorney per book will receive first placement in exchange for leading the cohort. This model creates urgency and rewards initiative.
What’s the difference between Legends and Terraform?
- Legends is for prestige and legacy: top lawyers in a given state, practice area, or reputation tier. Think of it as your Hall of Fame chapter.
- Terraform is for vision and the future: reform-minded or tech-forward lawyers shaping what law will look like in 5, 10, or 50 years?
Who writes the chapter? Do I have to write anything?
No writing required. We conduct an in-depth narrative interview with you, then ghostwrite your chapter to ensure it’s polished, compelling, and aligned with the book’s overall theme.
Do I own my contribution?
Yes. You retain copyright to your chapter. You’re free to reuse it however you’d like, including for your website, newsletter, or podcast content.
Do I get royalties?
Royalties are only paid out once the book earns more than $100/year per (after Amazon takes its cut). Above that threshold you keep 100% of your share. Most contributors see the real value in the prestige, visibility, and lead generation, not royalties.
When does the book go live?
As soon as all six contributors are locked in and interviewed, we begin production. Turnaround is typically 8-12 weeks from the final interview. You’ll receive digital and print copies, and a full suite of marketing assets to promote your involvement.
Can I refer someone else for a future book?
Yes. We’re always expanding to new states and new future-facing themes. Referrals earn priority placement – and in some cases, discounts or exclusive bonuses.
