Author Growth Partnership
More Than Publishing. A Partnership for Your Success.
Publishing a book is only the beginning.
Helping it reach the right readers takes strategy, creativity, consistency, and a partner who believes in your story as much as you do.
The Cushing Publishing Author Growth Partnership is our premier author development program, designed for writers who are ready to build more than a book—they're ready to build a lasting author platform.
Unlike traditional publishers or marketing firms, we work alongside you as an extension of your team, providing personalized guidance, strategic planning, creative marketing, and ongoing support throughout your launch and beyond.
What We Help You Build
Every partnership is customized to meet your goals and may include:
Brand positioning
Author platform development
Book launch strategy
Social media planning and management
School and library outreach
Podcast and media opportunities
Press releases
Speaking opportunities
Promotional graphics
Event planning
Review generation strategies
Monthly marketing calendars
Weekly strategy sessions
Every plan is built around your book, your audience, and your long-term vision.
Why an Author Growth Partnership?
Books don't succeed simply because they're published.
They succeed because readers discover them, connect with them, and recommend them to others.
Our role is to help create those opportunities while allowing you to focus on what you do best—writing and connecting with your audience.
A Boutique Experience
To provide every client with exceptional service and personal attention, Cushing Publishing accepts only three Author Growth Partnership clients each year.
This intentional approach allows us to invest deeply in every project, build meaningful relationships, and create customized marketing strategies that reflect each author's unique voice.
When you become an Author Growth Partner, you aren't simply hiring a marketing consultant.
You're gaining a dedicated publishing partner who is invested in your long-term success.
Is This Right for You?
The Author Growth Partnership is ideal for authors who:
Are serious about growing their readership.
Want a personalized marketing strategy.
Need accountability and encouragement.
Value long-term brand development.
Are willing to actively participate in promoting their work.
Want an experienced partner to guide them through the process.
Our Promise
We believe every meaningful book deserves an opportunity to find its readers.
Our commitment is to provide thoughtful guidance, honest advice, creative solutions, and unwavering support as you build not only a successful book launch, but a lasting author career.
Because great books deserve more than a publication date.
They deserve a future.
One thing I'd add at the bottom:
Applications Now Open
Because we intentionally limit this program to three authors each year, we encourage interested authors to contact us early to discuss availability and determine if the partnership is the right fit.
