Founder, kelly forsythe.
Our speciality is out-of-the-box ideas. We love brainstorming new ways to reach wider audiences, and connecting our authors to those readers. Our mission is to make introductions, enrich relationships, and deepen the connection between reader and author for more meaningful literary experiences.
