Not So Well Read

30 Second Book Review ✨ The Serpent Called Mercy 

This book was such a quick, fun, easy read. I was engaged from the very start and the more I read the more I fell in love with the main character, Lythlet.

World-building falls a bit to the side, but this is the kind of fast-paced adventure story where I was fine to just nod my head and keep moving forward. Because under all of the monsters and action, is a very clear lesson about friendship, privilege, greed, and ambition. 

If you need a quick, palate-cleanser fantasy, pick this one up!!

During this phase, we're reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

As the manuscript goes through several phases of editorial work, the cover and interior design takes place, while format decisions about paper stocks and printing treatments are made.

Editorial & Design

While the books are on press, the pre-order links go live and the marketing campaign ramps up with waves of review copy mailings to media and influencers.

Pre-order

The finished copies have released on the book's publication date. Go give it some love!

I’m a genre-obsessed reader who has made books my entire life–literally, I own a independent bookstore and founded a non-profit book festival in my hometown. I believe that reading is meant to be fun and so there’s no such thing as a “guilty” pleasure read. I’m here to help folks find their next favorite book sans stigmas, expectations, or required reading.
