Our Mission
We're humans who believe in putting wild creativity before the latest get-rich-quick publishing scheme. (Though don't worry, we'll help you make money too.)
​​
Born from our founder's years in Amazon's book trenches, we started as your insider guide to conquering the 'Zon. Now we're your full-service creative conspirators – from story development to marketing mischief and everything in between.
​​
We're here to transform your head-in-the-clouds story dreams into actual books that breathe, bark, and exist in the real world. Think of us as your creative contractors – we'll help you build those castles in the sky, then plop them onto solid ground where you can actually live in them. Dragons and all.
No AI-generated nonsense or soulless market trends here. Just real humans helping other humans turn their glorious imagination-spawn into books people actually want to read (and buy!).
Meet The Team
Janet Margot
Meet Janet: From the halls of Conde Nast to the guidebooks of Lonely Planet, Janet Margot has built a decades-long career in media, publishing and book marketing. A veteran of Amazon, she helped build the advertising platform specialized for books and owned the advertiser experience, including international expansion. Since then, Janet founded Book Geeks Media, a consultancy helping independent authors and publishers to grow their business on and off Amazon. From time to time, she also serves as a fractional Product Manager in the tech world where she gets to work on juicy things like using algorithms to solve book-related business and customer problems. When not consulting, she is busy writing about art, love, rock n roll and tattooing.
Victoria Dougherty
Meet Victoria: She didn't mean to become a storyteller - it just sort of happened while she was busy founding an avant-garde theater company in 1990s Prague (as one does). After cutting her teeth in the post-Communist arts scene, she returned to the States and decided that what the world really needed was more Cold War spy thrillers with a supernatural twist.
Several books later, including her Cold War Chronicles series (The Bone Church, The Hungarian, Welcome to the Hotel Yalta) and a historical fantasy trilogy (Breath, Of Sand and Bone, Savage Island), she's proven that mixing genres is more fun than following rules. When she's not sending characters through time-bending adventures, she pens award-winning personal essays on her blog COLD, which WordPress dubbed a Top Recommended Blog.
In her parallel life as an editorial consultant, Victoria helps corporations like AB InBev, PepsiCo, and the American Institute of Architects find their voice - though she's pretty sure none of them have ever had to write a scene involving both KGB agents and ancient magic. Their loss, really.
Bradley Charbonneau
Meet Bradley: Board member of Wide for the Win, President of Utrecht Toastmasters, and BOOM Chicago improv comedy alum whose favorite numbers tell his story best: Zero (the books he'd written while perfectionism ran the show) and One (the day he finally started writing). That single day snowballed into a 2,808-day writing streak and 39 published books, proving that sometimes all it takes is showing up to the page. When he's not helping other authors break through their creative blocks or teaching entrepreneurs to command the stage, you'll find him emceeing events and reminding everyone that the hardest step is the first one—and he's got the numbers to prove it.
