Shahen Guiragossian
Brand Context
Shahen Guiragossian’s work is rooted in legacy, memory, and inherited history. His writing explores survival, identity, and the quiet endurance passed through generations, with a tone that is reflective, restrained, and deeply human.
The Work
Foundational creation and ongoing management of Shahen’s author brand following the publication of The Hawk. The work began with building his public author identity from the ground up — including brand positioning, messaging architecture, platform creation, and narrative clarity — and continues through long-term visibility strategy, PR execution, and strategic guidance as his career evolves. The partnership now includes developmental and publishing support for his second book.
The Focus
Establishing a coherent author identity built to last — one that could hold both a first memoir and future work without fragmentation. The focus has been on pacing, discernment, and continuity, ensuring each next step strengthens the body of work rather than resetting it.
Why It Matters
Ensuring future books grow from a stable, intentional core — not urgency or reinvention.
Julie Tomlinson
Brand Context
Julie Tomlinson’s work explores identity, becoming, and the interior life of women navigating change. Her writing sits at the intersection of self-reflection, quiet resilience, and long-view growth, with an emphasis on honesty over performance.
The Work
Ground-up creation and ongoing stewardship of a personal author brand, beginning with the publication of a debut novel that reached #1 bestseller status on Amazon across multiple categories. The work has since evolved into long-term positioning, visibility decisions, and brand architecture designed to support sustained authorship. Current efforts include shaping and preparing a second novel — distinct in scope from the first — while ensuring it remains coherent within the same underlying brand foundation.
The Focus
Building a flexible author brand capable of holding multiple bodies of work without fragmentation. The focus has been on continuity of voice, thematic throughlines, and pacing — allowing creative evolution without requiring reinvention.
Why It Matters
Authors often feel pressure to redefine themselves with each new project, especially when moving into different territory. This work demonstrates how a well-constructed brand foundation can support creative expansion over time — offering stability, confidence, and long-view clarity across books.
