I accidentally manifested my dream job. Secretly, I started two weeks ago. Here is what happened: In 2020, I completed a manuscript for the Navalmanack, but I had no idea how publish a book, or any inkling of what do to next. Tucker Max gave me a pep talk (in his own way) and Scribe Media helped me publish "The Almanack of Naval" which changed my life creatively, financially, and gave me some very nerdy street cred. The team and service were incredible. I became a fan, referred friends, and hired Scribe again for The Anthology of Balaji (coming October 24!) Suddenly in May, my author buddy Jimmy Soni whispered rumors of turbulence at Scribe. People said they shut down. I didn’t believe them. So I called the CEO. He said the company wasn’t shut down, but had financial troubles and was open to new ownership. Luckily, I have friends who buy companies. (I recommend having these.) Enter Sieva Kozinsky and Xavier Helgesen of Enduring Ventures. When I brought them the idea of buying Scribe, they sprung into action. The team, services, and business model were strong. But financial infrastructure was nonexistent and spending was out of control. Leadership had made some bad decisions. Enduring Ventures fronted salaries and expenses for the team to take care of authors, and (very fortunately) closed the deal. Then I got a very surprising phone call. All I wanted was for Scribe to survive so good people kept their jobs and I could publish books. My GRANDEST hope was to be a small investor. But… they asked me to join the team as CEO. I soul-searched, wife-talked (thanks Jeannine Jorgenson!) and emerged VERY excited to join this team and carry this flag. Scribe Media is the pioneer of the entire category of Professional Publishing, which is what today’s authors truly need. (Scribe is also the biggest and best in the industry.) To me, the future of publishing is clear – authors deserve the full financial benefit of their work, and the full creative freedom to create and use their books AS THEY SEE FIT. I already started work at Scribe Media and this team is crushing. We’ve got over 150 authors’ work in progress, new books coming, new authors signing… and THRILLING opportunities ahead. What began as doing right by good people turned into an incredible opportunity to lead a new chapter for Scribe. I guess Karma is real. As CEO of Scribe, my job is to help you publish your book, your way. A book can build your reputation, spread your ideas, be your ticket to podcasts or stages… it might even make you a bit of money. If you have ever considered writing a book, take a look at Scribe. We ensure you publish a book of impeccable, world-class quality. We can also make it a minimal time investment. We would love to brainstorm what a book could do for you and show you the services we offer. Schedule a meeting with us now (link directly below) Join us on the shelves...
