Page Two
Page Two is different from other publishing companies. And, in this case, different is better. Non-fiction authors need to build a brand, a readership, and a media presence. At the same time, the world of publishing is shifting. Authors need a faster path to market, more creative control, and deeper engagement in their launch strategy than ever before. Page Two helps non-fiction authors and companies make smart and innovative publishing decisions. From super-bestsellers like Michael Bungay Stanier’s The Coaching Habit (now at 400K+ copies sold) to community-building publications for the Mastercard Foundation, our team has collectively published 1,000+ books. We’ve worked with authors on four continents and sold rights to our books in more than fifteen languages. Authors and corporate communications specialists need professional support, and we deliver transparent, customized publishing plans that leverage your unique assets to share your story, reach your intended audience, and grow your business.
