Putting you in control of your publishing journey
Bespoke editing, design, marketing, and printing services
Marketing a book is one of the most significant tasks faced by authors in the 21st Century. Traditional and self-published authors alike spend many hours a week promoting their works, when perhaps they'd rather be working on their next book!
That's where we come in.
"Marketing is no longer about the stuff we sell, it's about the stories we tell."
With over 3.8 billion users, social media has become one of the largest and most effective ways of boosting your author profile and brand.
