Who we are
Alison, Janet and Jeev met as new authors and bonded over the trials and tribulations of navigating traditional publishing without an agent. Between us, we’ve been published by everything from tiny two-person publishers to imprints of the big four. We’ve negotiated our own contracts, worked with agents, left agents who were wrong for us, self published rights reverted books and found our own opportunities. Add to that, we’ve mentored a lot of people who have been signed by publishers (and we’ve read a lot of contracts). We’ll be on hand to help.
