We are Bookswarm
You have a host of factors to weigh up when you select a digital agency to work with. We know that. We get it. So we’ve thought about it, and these are the reasons we reckon you should be looking to work with us…
What makes us special?
- We understand publishing. We read the Bookseller every week. You don’t have to explain ONIX feeds, AI sheets, ARCs, TCM figures or ISBNs to us. This means we can spend more time talking about what you actually want to achieve, whether you’re a publisher or an author.
- We’re incredibly good value. We keep our costs very low and put together project teams of people we trust to deliver each piece of work.
- We’re nice people and we like to focus on the books you’re working on – because we really love books. We find that makes all the difference…
