“I love books. Thin and substantial hardbacks, slender and compact paperbacks. I love the texture of a book, its feel in my hand. I love the typeface, the slipcase, the artwork on the cover. I love the soft smell of crisp, new paper, or the warm, wooden odor of a used classic.”

Let’s Start a Conversation
That’s our parrot, Chiku. He’s standing by waiting to hear from you. And so are we.
Need help start to finish? With the editorial work? Or maybe you have a manuscript that’s been thoroughly edited by another editorial specialist and you need book design and production? If it’s a good fit, we are willing to meet you wherever you are as an independent author.
When you reach out, please give us a brief rundown of your project’s topic and status, including whether you have a complete manuscript and if it’s been through any editorial stages yet. Also, please share your expected timeline for the project’s completion, keeping in mind that producing a quality book is a thoughtful and detailed process that takes at least a few months after the manuscript has been written.
We look forward to hearing from you.
