We Turn Creator Audiences Into Bestselling Books
Cedar & Stone is a publishing house built for creators. We develop the manuscript, commission the illustration, manage the printing, and run the launch.
Let's talkTucker Budzyn's book hit #3 of all books on Amazon
Of All the Sniffs I Love the Most, written with Tucker Budzyn.
We developed the manuscript, commissioned the illustration, managed the printing, and ran the launch campaign. The book is still a bestseller.
Tucker already had the audience. We built the book around it and handled the publishing.

A traditional publisher's team, without the traditional timeline
Creators who want to publish usually have two options: wait two years for a traditional deal with slim royalties and little control, or self-publish and figure out every piece alone.
We're a third option. You get a full publishing team and keep creative control, on terms that assume you already have an audience ready to buy.
