New offering helps accomplished professionals turn their expertise into authoritative, professionally published books that may strengthen extraordinary ability green card petitions
CLEVELAND— October 22, 2026—Manuscript Partners, a ghostwriting and book publishing firm led by veteran author and publicist Hugh Taylor, today announced a new service designed for professionals preparing to apply for the EB-1A “extraordinary ability” green card. The service helps applicants write, publish, and promote a substantive book about their work, creating a public record of expertise that may support several of the evidentiary criteria U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) uses to evaluate petitions.
The EB-1A visa offers a path to U.S. permanent residence with no employer sponsor and no job offer, but it sets a high bar. Applicants must show that they stand at the very top of their field and have earned sustained national or international acclaim. USCIS generally asks applicants to meet at least three of ten regulatory criteria and then weighs the evidence as a whole.
For many highly qualified professionals, the obstacle is not a lack of achievement but a lack of documentation. Their most important work often lives in client engagements, internal projects, and private conversations that an immigration officer will never see.
“Many of the most accomplished people I meet have done remarkable work that simply isn’t on the public record,” said Hugh Taylor, President of Manuscript Partners. “They ask me, ‘Can a book support the EB-1A application process?’ Yes, though we can’t guarantee results, a serious, well-produced book can help. It puts your ideas in writing, gives the media a reason to cover you, and creates a foundation that others in your field can cite and build on. It can help an EB-1A applicant present a much more complete picture of their expertise.”
While a book is not an EB-1A criterion on its own, a substantive book may help support several criteria at once, including authorship of scholarly work, published material about the applicant in professional or major media, and original contributions of major significance to the field. Published authors are also frequently invited to speak, review the work of others, and advise organizations, which may open doors to additional criteria.
The Manuscript Partners process is built for busy professionals who are not writers by trade. It begins with a discovery call and an approved book summary and chapter outline. A series of recorded interviews, typically about eight hours in total, captures the author’s knowledge and voice, and existing written material can often shorten the process. The firm combines this structured interview method with AI-assisted writing calibrated to each author’s voice, and authors review every chapter as it is completed.
Manuscript Partners handles editing, typesetting, cover design, ISBN registration, and distribution, with books published through its sister firm, Apateon Press, an independent publishing imprint. Each project also includes a press release and media outreach designed to build a documented record of recognition around the book. A typical project takes four to six months from approved outline to publication, though the timeline can be expedited when necessary. Authors retain their copyright, and nothing is published without their approval.
Taylor notes that timing matters. Because USCIS looks for sustained acclaim, a book released a few weeks before filing is unlikely to have generated the reviews, citations, and coverage that make it persuasive. Professionals considering an EB-1A petition are encouraged to begin the process well in advance and to work closely with a qualified immigration attorney.
The service is available now. More information is available at manuscriptpartners.com/eb1a.
Manuscript Partners does not provide legal or immigration advice, and publishing a book does not guarantee the outcome of any USCIS petition. Applicants should consult a qualified immigration attorney about their specific situation.
