Taking Authors From Manuscript to Marketplace
When it comes to providing literary services, you’d think our competition would try to differentiate themselves. NOPE! There are countless other companies you can talk with about handling your book, and they all sound painfully similar. You can check. It’s okay…we’ll wait.
FIRST, we GET it! We’re a company run by folks with writing in our souls; we’ve been putting pen to paper since grade school. We provide best-of-industry consulting services with astutely personalized attention to detail. Between us, we’ve written and ghostwritten more than 20 books and edited hundreds — all published by major or independent publishers. We’ve overcome all those rejection letters to get there. How? We understand the challenges the independent author faces at every stage.
Which all boils down to a promise: We’re not going to just hand you off to a third assistant to an eighth vice-president. You’ll always get the direct attention you need for your project. ALWAYS!
SECOND, we’ll talk to you straight. Our company founders have a combined track record of over 80 years of calling things the way they are. Which is why, when we say we’ll take you from manuscript to marketplace™, we’re not kidding
