December is a great time for reflecting on the year behind us. Here at Page Two, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible books our clients published in 2016—over thirty of them! Several have landed on “Best of 2016” book lists, several have been bestsellers, and several have won or been shortlisted for awards.

Today we spoke with a writer who asked, “Doesn’t every author want a bestseller?”
Believe it or not, the answer is no.
We work with people who publish books for a wide variety of reasons: some want the additional revenue of a book; some want to share information as broadly as possible; some want the credibility a book can confer that may lead to bigger speaking engagements, more consulting contracts, and a higher profile in their fields.
