Am I beating this year-long reading slump? No one make any sudden movements.

recent reads: two hits and a miss

**Consideration** means reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

**Editorial** has several phases, which occur on a parallel track with early cover designs.

Editorial

**Design** includes the cover process and interior layout, as well as format decisions like paper stocks and special treatments.

Design

**Printing** means the final files are at the printer and we’re reviewing color proofs and early off copies hot off the press.

Printing

**Published** is when the book releases into the world! Go give it some love.

Marines

Reading has never been something I’ve been interested in doing wholly alone. The joy of reading is magnified when it’s experienced in the company of fellow book lovers. I’m Marines, a reader, reviewer, content creator, event organizer, editor, and champion of a well-told story. Here on this page, I’d love to be your companion as we navigate the tides of literature, create a community connected by a love of books, and work together to bring fresh stories to life.
