Services for Publicists & Agents

As publicists and agents know well, publishing a book is just one step of a book’s lifecycle, and it involves a community of people working on different aspects of it. With over 35 years in the industry, we know that different books have different needs and act to bridge the gap between publisher, author, and outside agent to meet those needs. We put our extensive experience and network of relationships within the industry to work to build the connective tissue and set a strategy to make each step of a book’s lifecycle a success.
