A publishing partnership
A manuscript deserves a thoughtful path to readers.
Two commissioning editors will read it. You will hear back within fourteen days, with actual notes — even if the answer is no. We invest in the book and recover it from sales — which is exactly why we only take on what we believe in.
How it works

Average time from signed contract to finished books in your hands: five to seven months.
