Stories we helped tell.

Behind every spine on this shelf is a writer who took a leap. Here are a few of the books — and the authors — we’ve had the honor of publishing.

The Salt-Worn Shore

MAREN HOLLOWAY

Literary Fiction · Debut Novel

From rejected manuscript to Kirkus-starred debut.

Maren had been querying agents for three years. The Salt-Worn Shore was a quiet, character-driven novel about three generations of women on the coast of Maine — exactly the kind of book traditional publishing kept telling her was “too quiet for the market.”

“Capitol Quill saw what twenty-two agents didn’t. They didn’t make my book louder — they made it better.”

We paired her with senior editor Elena Park for a developmental edit, brought in our in-house illustrator for the cover, and launched with a Kirkus + Publishers Weekly campaign. The book sold 18,000 copies in its first six months.

Builder’s Mind

DEVON OJO

Business & Leadership · Nonfiction

A founder’s playbook became an Amazon #1.

Devon had spent twelve years building software companies and had a thousand pages of operating notes. He didn’t have the time — or the framework — to turn them into a book.

“They acted as my ghostwriter, my editor, my designer, my marketer. By month four, I had a book on the shelf at the airport.”

Our team interviewed Devon over twelve weeks, drafted alongside him, designed a clean Bauhaus-inspired cover, and ran a coordinated LinkedIn + podcast launch. Builder’s Mind became Amazon’s #1 business book in its category for nine straight weeks.
