Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)

How to Get Published — A Drop of Ink

Think about that quote from Byron: *a drop of ink* is a starting point…and for you as an author, when you combine many "drops of ink" you have the potential to impact millions - yes *millions* - of people.
Whether you've just penned your table of contents or completed the first draft of your magnum opus our team specializes in walking you through the publishing process. We are equipped to help with every step of the way - from the book proposal stage to books rolling off the press and everything in between.

Along with Tom's undeniable talent to translate concepts into concrete actions, he brings out the best in the people he partners with and serves. Honest, dependable and fiercely dedicated, I confidently recommend him for your next project.”

Philip Yancey

“I echo what others have said about Tom's professionalism and expertise in all areas of publishing. What impresses me even more, though, is his character. I never had the sense that Tom saw me only as an author or client. We quickly became friends, and he cared as much about my personal life as my professional life. In today's compartmentalized world, that's a rare quality indeed.”

Philip Yancey, Bestselling Author, Spiritual Thinker, Fellow Pilgrim

Ryan Hall

"I would have never written my latest book if it were not for Tom's encouraging nudges. In my opinion, all authors struggle with the self-doubt that comes with writing, so having someone who really believes in you and then has the skills, connections, and channels to get the finished product out in the world is what every author needs in their corner. Tom is the best "corner man" in the business!"

Ryan Hall, America’s Fastest Full and Half Marathoner, Coach, Host of the RunFree Podcast
