MindStir Media, an award-winning self-publishing company, is easing the financial burden for authors by offering flexible financing options through Affirm. The move allows writers to spread the cost of professional publishing services into manageable monthly payments, making it easier than ever to bring their books to market.
MindStir Media’s packages combine editing, book design, marketing, and mentorship from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author J.J. Hebert. With Affirm, eligible authors can access 0% APR for six months or longer-term options up to 36 months, depending on the package and approval.
For example, the Emerald Publishing Package, priced at $13,099, can be financed as six interest-free payments of $2,183.17 per month or 36 monthly installments of $454.05 at 15% APR. Rates vary from 0%–36% APR, subject to eligibility and state regulations.
“MindStir Media has always been about providing great value to authors,” said J.J. Hebert, CEO of MindStir Media. “By offering Affirm, we’re giving authors the flexibility to pursue their publishing dreams without the stress of upfront costs.”
The company’s self-publishing services, endorsed by celebrities like Shark Tank’s Kevin Harrington and praised by publications such as USA Today and Newsweek, have become more financially accessible. Authors can now select Affirm during checkout and manage payments while benefiting from MindStir Media’s full suite of publishing support.
For self-publishing authors, upfront costs have long been a barrier to entry. By combining comprehensive publishing services with flexible financing, MindStir Media positions itself as a more inclusive and author-friendly solution in a competitive market increasingly embracing digital-first publishing and online mentorship.
