Hi Reader, Over the last few newsletters, we’ve talked about what actually goes into publishing a book well. Not just writing it, but editing it properly. Designing a cover that positions it in the most advantageous way in the market. Formatting it so it prints cleanly and reads beautifully. And at some point, publishing a book stops being theoretical. You stop learning and in taking information and start doing the “thing”. If you’re an author ready to publish your book, this moment is...

Hi Reader, We have the privilege of working with authors who are not only sharing ideas, but shaping the conversations that define our time. Women’s LEAP by Micheline Nader is one of those works. This is not simply a book about leadership. Nor it is about AI. Or even about Women. It is an exploration of what it means to lead in a moment where artificial intelligence is reshaping the systems around us, and where the responsibility of leadership is evolving just as quickly. Women's LEAPReclaim...

Hi Reader, This week, as we look at the calendar, we are reminded of how many different holidays and observances exist across the world at any given moment. Some are solemn. Some are joyful. Some are rooted in centuries of tradition. Others are newer, emerging from modern movements and evolving cultures. Across the globe, people are celebrating in various ways. Some are honouring the day after Buddha’s birthday and enlightenment. Others are observing Culture and Literacy Day. In different...

Hi Reader, Right now, we are planning book launches for September and October. Which might surprise you. Because in a culture of instant uploads and overnight visibility, it can feel like publishing should move quickly. Write the book. Upload the file. Announce it. Done. Except that is not how thoughtful publishing works. And it is certainly not how strategic launches work. As authors, you are working within timelines that are longer than the instant gratification rhythm of the internet. A...

Hi Reader, Mother’s Day is this weekend, and as a women-owned and women-operated business who are also mothers; this time of the year holds a soft spot. Yes, it’s a holiday, and yes it can be over-commercialized. Yet we also believe it’s a cultural moment that deserves your messaging and marketing to be handled with care and recognize the relevance of the moment. If your book speaks to motherhood, family, healing, leadership, identity, resilience, generational patterns, personal growth, or...

Hi Reader, This coming weekend is Independent Bookstore Day in Canada while in the United States was celebrated on March 31st. Whether you caught the U.S. date or not, this time of year offers something more valuable than a calendar reminder. It is an opportunity to pause and take an audit of your book and its current distribution channels. If part of your publishing strategy includes building relationships with independent bookstores, this is an excellent time of year to reach out, introduce...

Hi Reader, If you want your book to be taken seriously, editing is not optional. It is the single most important investment you will make in the quality of your work. It is also where a significant portion of a responsible self-publishing budget should be allocated, because editing shapes the integrity, clarity, and credibility of the final product. Many authors use the word “editing” as if it describes one service. In reality, editing is a sequence of distinct stages. Each one serves a...
