Get to Know Beth & Lisa

We are authors and co-hosts of the Writers With Wrinkles podcast. After years of hearing cautionary tales about publishing, we decided to open an author-first company that treats writers the way we want to be treated. Every decision we make comes from lived experience and a deep belief that creating a book should feel empowering and joyful. 

We handle every detail required to transform your manuscript into a beautifully published book. From copyediting and proofreading to production and technical steps, we manage the process so you don't have to. 

You keep full creative control, retain all rights to your work, and get 100% of the royalties. No revenue sharing, no hidden clauses, no surprises.

We took everything we loved about publishing, fixed what we didn’t, and built something better for authors.

What Makes Us Different

If we do not believe your manuscript is publication-ready, we’ll be honest and offer thoughtful guidance. We’re not here for quick wins or shortcuts. We’re here to help you publish the best version of your book.

We use the same tools a traditional publisher employs, paired with an author-first approach rooted in transparency, care, and respect.

Writing a book is hard. Navigating what comes next shouldn't be.​

 

Over five seasons, Beth and Lisa have interviewed dozens of literary agents, editors, publishers, booksellers, and bestselling authors to gather insight into the craft of writing and the realities of the publishing process. What emerged is the framework for this book, Write. Revise. Publish.

 

Whether you’re wrestling with a first draft, deep in revisions, preparing to query agents, or considering self-publishing, this book meets you where you are and helps you navigate what comes next.
