Getting readers' attention is on every author's mind. Trad. Indie. Big 5. Small press. We get it. How do you connect? How to leave an impression beyond the book? How do you help get them to pick up that debut title, that first book in a new series or genre?
It's all about branding. We can help you create a logo, find the perfect items to make your next convention book attract attention, and even create merch to sell to your readers.
