Book Production
Exacting and professional production is what we give to every book and to every author across our hybrid and custom publishing programs. GFP consults on the best way forward for each author and assembles fully custom proposals to meet the needs of that book. Our extensive pool of vetted resource and service partners—from book coaches to developmental editors to cover and web designers—gives us the ability to provide a wider array of capabilities than any other firm.

Publishing Led by Design
The author approached us with a memoir that reads like a novel, with communists, crime bosses, and romance, too. Added to that was a treasure trove of photos and illustrations that begged to be showcased in full color. Challenge accepted.

From the Great Wheel to the Great Read
Books can form the basis of a profitable and unique ancillary product line, whether your main business is finance, cannabis sales, or tourism. Girl Friday helped one client, heavily invested in Seattle’s famed waterfront properties, to create a branded product line of keepsake children’s and coffee-table books.
