Case study 1

No Regrets; The Forgiving Heart & Better Without You

by Donna Lynch

For Donna Lynch’s debut we designed a market-aligned cover that captured the book’s emotional tone and improved discoverability; for her follow-up we produced a short, story-led trailer optimized for social sharing. The combined visual identity and video content strengthened her author brand and provided reusable promotional assets for launches and outreach.

The Poe's Project

by Isreal Centeno

We edited and professionally formatted Isreal Centeno’s manuscript, created a bespoke cover, and handled publishing setup so the title met retail standards for both ebook and print. We also produced a cinematic 30–60s trailer to introduce the book’s tone and boost pre-release visibility — delivering a market-ready edition and promotional asset package that amplified early interest and reviewer engagement.

Night Games

by Jim Blanas

We supplied a professional cover, a concise trailer, and light social media promotion to give Night Games an immediate promotional lift. The package delivered polished presentation and ready-to-post content that made it easier for the author to begin audience-building and scale into paid campaigns.
