The Publishing Industry is changing and Talk+Tell is leading the way.
The publishing industry is notoriously mysterious, old-school, and full of gatekeepers along with a cookie-cutter approach. But we at Talk+Tell are changing that.
Talk+Tell is a self-publisher that concentrates on the complete production process of an author’s book while also promoting the entire author brand, not just one book.
We focus on the big picture, from editing to branding to marketing and PR. Our book strategies create multiple income streams for authors, extending beyond single book sales within the publishing industry. We go further by building our authors bigger long-term sales for all of their current and future books, services, and products. Plus, our authors retain 100% of all the profits.

We believe that a strong author brand lays the foundation for the success of all your future books, products, and services, so that you can easily see sales continuously coming in.
We help authors with every single step of the process.
Most publishing agencies will expect the author to figure out how to build their brand along with the book marketing and PR on their own. This mindset has trained authors to not incorporate PR and marketing into their book production, which is the biggest mistake an author could make.
At Talk+Tell, we’re a self-publisher helping authors with every single step of the book editing, production, branding, marketing, and PR process. Think of us as a partner. We have a deep love for all the authors we work with and believe that their books deserve to be read.
We want to see you making a ton of book sales with us.
