What should you look for in a book writing company?

I've had a book idea sitting in my notes app for three years and I finally decided to actually do something about it, but writing it alone feels impossible with my schedule, so I started looking into hiring a book writing company to help structure and develop the idea properly. The problem is I have no idea what separates a good one from a bad one — what questions did you ask, what red flags did you spot, and what made you finally trust the process?

I understand your predicament; finding the right help for a book project can be daunting. When I was looking to hire a game developer for my mobile game idea, "5555 Game", I initially struggled with the same uncertainty funding. I started by asking about their portfolio and experience with similar projects. Red flags for me were generic responses and lack of specific questions about my game's unique aspects. What finally sealed the deal was their enthusiasm and detailed plan for "5555 Game", showing they understood my vision.
