You're Not a One-Hit Wonder
We don't take on books, we take on people.
Because of our extensive experience in publishing, marketing, and public relations, we're able to build up a career for you, rather than a one-hit wonder.
Editorial Services
Books require a lot more work on the authors part than anyone thinks. That's why we're with you every step of the way, from developing your brand, strategizing socials and media content, and helping you build engaged followers and fans.
Branding & Social Media
Building up your author platform is everything to publishers, that's why it's one of our biggest services. We don't just teach you how to post or what hashtags to use. Rather, we sit down with you and properly execute social strategies based on your audience and preferences in a way that feels natural to you. The goal is to extend "You The Brand," which means everything we do should be as unique as you and your works.
Website Creation
Everyone needs a website in the World of Web. We have your back, working closely with you to design websites that work for you. Whether that be a user friendly website, blog, newsletter, portfolio--or a simple landing page telling people about you, your releases and other projects.
PR and Marketing
Let's be real, the best marketer for your book is you, the author. That's why we don't let you go in on this alone. Not only do we help target direct outreach to media professionals, librarians, and influencers, we help you write your brand story in a concise way as an extension of everything you do. Everything related to you and your book should feel natural to you. Working closely with us, we help guide you to determine what platforms and media outlets are a natural fit for you, your tone, your audience, and then we help you get there.
Continued Promotion
After the exciting launch of a book, your book needs continuous promotion for maintained sales. We help you continue retail and online promotions with custom strategies designed around your projects.
