The conversation starts with you. What’s your vision for the book? What kind of support do you need to make it happen? 

A project director will create a plan to help you get there, whether you already have a manuscript or you’d like support with the whole process–from brainstorming content ideas and writing to design and printing. We’ll assemble a team of publishing professionals who specialize in each element of your project and work closely with you each step of the way.   

We produce books as well as shorter creative products including catalogs, brochures, pamphlets, maps, and marketing materials.
