Taking Senior Academics to Trade Book Success in 9 Months or Less
Scholars to Storytellers helps academics bridge the gap between university presses and commercial publishing, turning specialized knowledge into books that reach mainstream audiences and transform careers.
We don't just edit manuscripts—we transform how academics think about their work, helping you find the compelling narrative within your research and develop the voice that agents and publishers seek.
Our selective approach means we only work with scholars whose ideas have genuine commercial potential, providing personalized guidance to navigate the unfamiliar terrain of trade publishing. From crafting proposals that sell to securing literary representation, we offer a direct pathway to bringing your expertise to mainstream audiences—without sacrificing intellectual integrity or scholarly credibility.
Founded by John Ghazvinian—historian, journalist, and author with a six-figure advance from Knopf/PenguinRandomHouse—Scholars to Storytellers bridges the gap between academic expertise and commercial publishing success.
