Why Phoenix

We look at your book as a whole, not one task in isolation. The same team can connect goodreads advertising with the editing, publishing, marketing or media work around it, so each piece supports the next. We explain what we recommend and why, agree the scope with you before starting, and never promise sales, rankings, coverage or reviews.

Custom packages available

Built around your project.

Every author, book, audience, timeline and goal is different. Tell us what you're trying to accomplish and we'll recommend a suitable approach.
