We offer help for new authors who want to get their books out, while retaining full creative control over their content. We work closely with our authors, a relationship built on guidance and mentoring. We offer assistance in all stages of moving from manuscript to book – from writing and editing, through book production and publication to ongoing marketing.
We will not dictate to you any plot changes (though we’ll point out where things should be improved). We will not dictate what cover to use (though you’ll have to use our artists). We will not abandon you as soon as the next project is due. We believe in building a long lasting relationship, based in mutual respect and trust. We offer expert advice and assistance, to complement your strengths and make sure your novels are the best they could be.
Rather than keep an in-house team, we work with dedicated professionals, experts in their fields. Our usual suspects are:
Publisher: Assaph Mehr
Assaph is an experienced author, designer, marketer, and product manager, who uses these diverse skills on book publishing. Acutely aware of the needs and challenges of indie authors, Assaph combines his life-long love of books with his business, design, and marketing skills, to ensure books are produced to the highest standards, and hit the market with a long-term strategy.
Acquisitions Editor: Eric Klein
Eric is a successful entrepreneur, public speaker, and author. Fueled by a lifelong love of books, he was part of the editorial team for the Peerlyst security series, and is now managing Purple Toga acquisitions and the anthology series.
Cover Designer: Ellie Bockert Augsburger
Ellie is the Creative Manager of Creative Digital Studios. Ellie works closely with our authors to understand their vision and create gorgeous covers that pop off the shelf.

Literary Editors
We work with several literary editors, from developmental to copy, and always match the author to the best-suited talent to help them perfect their current project.
Please Contact Us if you any query to any of our team, and we shall endeavor to reply as soon as practicable.
