I run a book publishing and distribution company for independent authors and publishers. We distribute to bookstores, big box stores and libraries nationwide, as well as online, direct to retailers, and direct to consumers. In addition, our company functions as an incubator for small and independent publishers. We select small and self-publishers who have a vision that can be cultivated into a successful venture; then we develop their venture into a viable business.
Greenleaf Book Group's mission is to fuse our broad knowledge of the established book industry with refreshing new ideas, empowering the small and independent publishing sector and challenging the system with an inventive business model. We support the small and independent publishing community and set ourselves apart from other book distributors by forging long-term relationships with clients and industry professionals while fostering a positive, driven culture. If you have a great book concept, or know someone who does, I'd love to hear more about it and see if it could be a good fit for us!
