Media Reach

What we do

Two disciplines, one partner.

Most authors have to stitch together an editor, a designer, a distributor, and a marketing agency — and hope they talk to each other. We bring publishing and marketing under one roof so your book is built well and launched loud.

Pillar 01

Assisted Publishing

We do the professional heavy lifting while you keep full ownership. From manuscript to shelf-ready title.

  • Developmental editing, copyediting & proofreading
  • Interior design, formatting & cover-ready files
  • ISBN registration & metadata optimization
  • Retail & library placement across 40,000+ outlets
  • Studio-quality audiobook production

Pillar 02

Professional Marketing

A great book still needs to be seen. We give yours a bold, credible presence across every screen.

  • Book trailers & promotional films
  • Author branding & social media video
  • TV, radio & digital billboard advertising
  • Short-form content for TikTok, Reels & YouTube
  • Strategic press & media outreach

FAQ

Answers before you ask.

Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes — 100%. This is assisted publishing, not a traditional deal. You retain full ownership of your work and all of your royalties. We provide the professional labor; the book stays yours.
Is assisted publishing a scam?
No — but the category has bad actors, which is exactly why we lead with transparency. Assisted publishing means you pay a professional team to edit, design, and distribute your book while you keep 100% of your rights and royalties. The scams are the operations that hide their pricing, quietly take your rights, or promise guaranteed bestsellers. We put pricing in writing, never take your rights, make no income claims, and we're a member of the IBPA.
Will my book become a bestseller?
We can’t promise that — and you should be cautious of anyone who does. What we guarantee is professional editing, design, and distribution, plus honest marketing support. Actual sales depend on the book, the market, and the effort behind the launch. No ethical publisher can guarantee results.
Can I see a contract before I pay?
Yes. Everything goes in writing, and you’re welcome to review the agreement — or have your own attorney review it — before you commit. Transparency isn’t a favor here; it’s how we work.
What happens if I’m not satisfied?
We set expectations up front and put the terms in writing. Our Refund & Cancellation policy spells out how things work, and we’ll walk you through it before you start — we’d rather be clear early than surprise you later.
How do you decide which books to take on?
We’re selective. We take on projects we believe we can serve well and produce to a professional standard. If we’re not the right fit for your book, we’ll tell you — honestly.
Who owns my ISBN and files?
You do. Your ISBN is registered to you as the publisher of record, and you receive your production files. You’re never locked into working with us.
How is this different from a traditional publisher?
A traditional publisher takes your rights and a share of royalties in exchange for doing the work — if they accept you at all. We do that same professional work for a fee, with no gatekeeping, and you keep control, rights, and royalties.
Can I start with just one service?
Absolutely. Work with us à la carte — just editing, just a book trailer, just distribution — or bundle everything into one of our publishing packages.
What does it cost?
Pricing is fixed and transparent, in US dollars. Packages run from $1,749 (Launch) to $11,499 (Traditional), and individual services are available on their own. You'll get a clear quote at your free consultation.
Where will my book be available?
We distribute worldwide through IngramSpark, the industry-standard global print-and-distribution network, reaching more than 40,000 retailers and libraries — including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple Books. Audiobooks reach Audible, Spotify, and Apple.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. Your first consultation is completely free with no obligation — it's a real conversation about your book and a plan, not a sales trap.
