WE PROTECT YOUR BOOK
We can’t guarantee you conventional success, but we can help you ensure that you remain true to your own True North and that you thereby do not get caught in the grinding gears of the highly commercialized modern day publishing industry. Because there, you could well find yourself being subjected to the almighty cookie cutter.
When “will it sell?” is thee topmost question from agents, editors, and publishers alike… a perfectly valid question, but perhaps not ideally the first question.
And when your book is being read by industry experts primarily for how it can be categorized in a bookstore… and if it even can be… books can become compromised and less than what they could have been.
The publishing establishment continues to insist “it knows best,” even as its track record nowadays is questionable. It’s not exactly a thriving, robust industry… and it hasn’t been for a very long time.
And so, the AEON ATELIER exists in part as a place where writers can ensure that they are remaining true to their art and their creativity… and staying true to the vision at the heart of their visionary book. Indeed, most of our writers are introducing “a new paradigm of thought” in one field or industry or another.
With a blend of creativity, strategy, and innovation, we help your book to become what it’s meant to be and what it’s possible for it to be. And we get clear on your intention and desire for the book before ever placing it before the “critical” eyes of those who will ultimately determine its fate in the publishing world.
WE PRIORITIZE:
Listening to your manuscript to detect what it wishes to become… rather than forcing it into a box before it ever had a chance to be birthed.
The creative impulse over the commerce element.
The exercise of the imaginal muscle and the expression of the original vision, retaining its integrity… over the taming and shrinking and “playing it safe” that is so often encouraged.
