We work with authors who are first-timers, small publishing companies that are overburdened and need professional assistance at the front end of the book creation process, or authors who believe that they should self-publish rather than to run the gamut of agents and traditional publishers in a literary market that has long since outlived its business model. Our core competencies lie in the creative process itself and in the translation through manuscript to design of book and cover, ending with the coordination of the printing process, where necessary. We also work with electronic books on all platforms. Although we like to say that we escort our authors "from concept to cash register," we actually manage a consortium of professionals who do expert and well-regarded work in book marketing, confining our internal efforts to the process only through the book printing phase, as indicated above.
