The Vandorize method
How we work
There are six possible stages. We identify which ones your project needs and the right order for them.
- 01
Assess
We read the work closely and give an honest view of its strengths, gaps and realistic opportunities.
- 02
Develop
Editorial and creative work that strengthens the material itself before anything is packaged or promoted.
- 03
Position
Defining genre, readership, comparable titles and the language used to present the work and its author.
- 04
Build
We prepare the book for publication, strengthen its retail presence and help it find its audience.
- 05
Expand
Where the material supports it, considering series, story worlds and characters as long term intellectual property.
- 06
Adapt
Exploring screen, audio and international formats with materials developed to a professional standard.
Next stage
Your story. Its next stage.
