Founded by long-time book editor and author Lee Klancher, the company is comprised of a team of independents seasoned at trade houses. With the attention of professionals trained in publishing industry trenches, our books are created with skill and care from the first word typed on the screen through to the last edit marked on the digital proofs. Our web design, ePubs, publicity campaigns, manufacturing, and sales efforts are also carried out by people with many years of experience in their respective fields. 

High-quality content is only part of the puzzle of creating a successful book, particularly in today's volatile market.
