Trade Publishing Services

 

Consulting Services Our trade publishing practice covers all facets of the business, including adult, juvenile, and mass-market books together with such components of the book distribution system as wholesalers and on-line retailers. A few of our Associates are experienced as booksellers as well. Our basic services include:
  • strategic development,
  • editorial review,
  • marketing assessment,
  • back office and supply-chain operational study, and
  • on-line applications for publishers.

We also offer a one-day strategic review for small and mid-sized trade publishers.

Trade publishers concerned with succession planning, valuation or recapitalization, should review our various Transaction Services.
