Putting authors first is our mission—and our business model.
We pioneered Relationship Publishing® to give authors a more profitable way to publish by retaining the rights to their work. BBPG has spent over three decades refining a seamless, full-service process to elevate the author's vision, and we're the only publisher with in-house solutions for all phases of publication, distribution, and promotion. From New York Times bestsellers to Pulitzer Prize winners, our talent roster has made us one of the most successful independent houses in the country.

Services
Publishing
Whether you're an aspiring writer or a proven talent who has been published by a major house, few—if any—authors have the expertise and resources required to craft a manuscript in line with industry quality and compliance standards. BBPG's end-to-end editorial division ushers you through this complex process with seamless, turnkey solutions designed to elevate each author's dynamic project.
Licensing
BBI is built to deliver a turnkey experience for our authors. In addition to handling the negotiation and management of subsidiary book rights, we collaborate with organizations across the globe for country-specific sales integration, and have developed a broad network of partners who translate, export, and present our titles to retailers around the world.
Social Media Campaigns
Build a sustainable social presence that supports your book without turning you into a full-time content creator. We define which platforms matter, what content drives discovery, and how social reinforces your publicity and sales.
Public Relations
Get your book in front of trade media, reviewers, and industry gatekeepers before launch. We build a coordinated publicity plan that creates early awareness and momentum so your book enters the market with context, not silence.
Distribution
Our distribution services work in synergy with our fulfillment management, and since we handle all book inventory and order processing needs, our publishers and authors can focus on building their brand and business.
Marketing & Advertising
Paid advertising is used strategically at key moments to reach the right readers, not to chase volume. Campaigns are timed and structured to amplify your publicity rather than operate in isolation.
