Your route to publication
1 / 7
Base Camp
Discovery & Research
We learn your story, goals and readers.
Week 1
Every book starts with a conversation. A publishing strategist learns what your book is about, who it's for and what success looks like to you — then researches your genre, comparable titles and audience.
Your part
Share your idea, draft or notes and your goals.
Our part
Research your market and recommend the right path.
Whether you're writing yourself, co-writing or working with a ghostwriter, we build a detailed outline and develop the manuscript chapter by chapter with regular check-ins.
Your part
Review outlines and chapters; join interview sessions.
Our part
Outline, draft and develop the manuscript with you.
Developmental, line and copy editing sharpen structure and language, with tracked changes so you approve every suggestion. A second editor proofreads the final pages.
Your part
Accept, reject and discuss editorial changes.
Our part
Edit at every level and proofread the final text.
Our designers research your genre and present original cover concepts. You choose a direction, we refine it, and you receive the full print wrap plus launch graphics.

Our part
Design, refine and prepare every cover asset.
Typesetters design the interior for print and ebook — chapter openers, typography and layout — and validate every file against retailer requirements.
Your part
Approve the sample chapter and review proofs.
Our part
Typeset, proof and validate print and ebook files.

Our part
Publish across ebook, print and audio channels.
A launch campaign built for your audience: advance reviews, advertising, author platform and outreach — with monthly reporting so you always know what's working.
