During this phase, we're reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

As the manuscript goes through several phases of editorial work, the cover and interior design takes place, while format decisions about paper stocks and printing treatments are made.

Editorial & Design

While the books are on press, the pre-order links go live and the marketing campaign ramps up with waves of review copy mailings to media and influencers.

Pre-order

The finished copies have released on the book's publication date. Go give it some love!

I have been a life-long reader, since I found
the Narnia books as a twelve-year-old. Books have been my constant companion since then, everything from C.S. Lewis to Tolkien, to Edgar Allan Poe and Hemingway. In my 20s I found Yann Martel and Margaret Atwood and Anne Tyler and fell in love with LitFic. In my early thirties I found Sheila Heti and Karl Knausgaard and Rachel Cusk and fell in love with Autofiction. And now, toward the end of my thirties, I’m finding all kinds
of new authors (thanks to BookTok), including N.K. Jemison, Octavia Butler, Tamsyn Muir, and many many others. I’m always looking for deeply flawed complex characters chasing after something profound. I’m so glad at this chance to meet new people and to build a community around great literature.
