ABOUT POLYVERSE
Many words. Many universes. Many stories. At Polyverse, our mission is to turn these stories into completed titles. With consistent industry research, and a tendency to spend time in bookstores, Polyverse can help you find the right path to get your product on the shelf.
During brainstorming meetings, we discuss genre definitions, marketability, and create a strategy specifically tailored to building your title. With a priority on communication, Polyverse is happy to take a phone call or sit down for a cup of coffee. We even offer optional live design sessions, where we implement requested cover and format changes during the meeting.
We are based in Santa Barbara, and love our local bookstores! In fact, we are active with over 14 retail locations on the West Coast. We also maintain and monitor global sales channels so your title will be available through the Baker & Taylor distribution network.
The Polyverse team is happy to schedule a complimentary consultation to give advice and feedback on the state and potential for your project.
