Our vision is to reimagine what publishing can be—bold, collaborative, and purpose-driven—by amplifying genre-defying voices across fiction, non-fiction, YA and kids books. Because great books aren’t defined by a category.
Keep creative control, bring your book professionally to market, and retain a bigger share of the profits.
