Many communications today are virtual and transitory. That’s why some companies are turning to the traditional book to give themselves and their brand a more enduring, tangible presence. When everything’s digital, real becomes cool.
How can we help?
Having produced many books of this type for clients, we can help you with your own book project by
- Co-developing the concept with you
- Carrying out or helping you with the research work required
- Collecting written contributions and conducting interviews
- Writing, editing and proofreading the final text
- Providing advice and project management
We do not undertake design or make arrangements with printers, but can introduce you to specialised book designers who can do this for you.
