Nonfiction Specialties

Strategy shaped around your subject and reader.

A book about leadership needs a different strategy from a memoir, a history title, a health guide, or an academic work. We adapt the pathway to the subject, reader, author authority, and places where the book can be useful.

Between categories?

Many books sit in more than one place.

A memoir may also be a health story. A business book may be a psychology book. A history title may be a leadership lesson.

We look at how readers, media, and organizations would actually describe your book, and build the pathway from there, rather than forcing it into a single box.
