What We Offer

Your Personal Gateway to the Literary World

We offer a deeply personalized literary curation service that acts as your private bibliophile, meticulously selecting books tailored to your unique tastes, curiosities, and intellectual journey. Our process involves detailed consultations to understand your reading history, preferences, and goals, followed by the delivery of handpicked titles with thoughtful commentary on why each was chosen for you. This service transforms overwhelming choice into a deliberate and enriching discovery of authors and genres you might otherwise never encounter.

We offer comprehensive author services designed to nurture a manuscript from its initial concept through to a polished, publication-ready work. Our team provides developmental editing that focuses on narrative structure, character depth, and thematic coherence, alongside line editing for language precision and stylistic consistency. We then guide authors through the complex landscape of publishing options, offering clear, strategic advice on traditional querying, hybrid models, or independent publishing to align with their personal and professional objectives.

We offer tailored literary programming and research for organizations, book clubs, and educational institutions seeking to deepen their engagement with the written word. This includes designing themed reading series, facilitating expert-led discussions, and creating custom syllabi or reading lists that explore specific historical periods, social themes, or literary movements. Our programming is crafted to foster vibrant discussion, critical thinking, and a shared sense of community around the powerful experience of reading.

Why Choose Us

The StoryAxis Core Difference: Depth, Discernment, and Dedication

We distinguish ourselves through a philosophy of deep listening and intellectual partnership, rather than transactional service.

We invest time to understand the nuanced goals of each client, ensuring our recommendations and guidance are not just good, but perfectly aligned, whether you are a reader seeking your next favorite book or an author refining a pivotal chapter.

We do not accept payments for placement in our recommendations, and our publishing advice is based solely on what is best for the manuscript and the author’s vision. This unwavering focus on quality and authenticity means you receive honest, carefully considered counsel that you can trust completely, from an objective assessment of a manuscript’s strengths to a book recommendation that genuinely matches your taste.

Choosing StoryAxis Core means gaining a dedicated partner invested in your long-term literary journey. We build lasting relationships, following up on recommendations, celebrating your publishing milestones, and adapting our guidance as your interests or projects evolve. We measure our success by your satisfaction and growth—by the joy of a perfect reading match, the confidence of a polished author, or the success of a transformative literary program—making us a steadfast resource in your pursuit of a richer life with books.

“StoryAxis Core curation service completely revolutionized my reading life. The books they suggested were so perfectly attuned to my interests that I’ve discovered more new favorite authors in six months than in the past five years on my own. It feels like having a brilliantly well-read best friend who just gets me.”
