Experience the difference with your initial consultation and subsequent collaboration.
Our Manifesto
Combining the best word mastery and highest visual aesthetics, our team crafts a customized publishing experience of caliber. With the vast majority of the team having over 20-30 years of experience in their respective specialties, their expertise is apparent from your initial consultation. From ghostwriting, editing, and art design, to formatting, printing, branding, public relations, marketing and distribution, a hybrid approach is developed with attention to structured and detailed project management.
Your legacy as an author is paramount.
Concentrating on the marketability and profitability of your book, a business strategy is discussed upfront with our industry experts, as well. With calendared precision, we collaborate with our authors to meet timely benchmarks and pride ourselves in providing in-depth collaboration and continual communication throughout the process.
Your book and potentially, a feature film, documentary, mini-series, museum exhibition, animation and/or webinar curriculum from your book will further be explored in the manuscript development and review. Marketing and making the most of your book’s assets is always an included focus.
Learning the art of branded entertainment under our tutelage, you will be positioned to elevate your professional standing, connect with your desired audiences, appeal to your targeted businesses and garner invitations as a recognized author, speaker, expert and/or media interviewee. In addition to publishing your book, we will also provide the necessary author/speaker, press and promotional tools to launch your writing and speaking career, as well as your media status.
As one of our selected authors, you will have exclusive access to events and sessions that inspire and promote your creativity, visibility and notoriety providing introductions to international thought leaders, studio executives, curators, agencies and more.
