Business Book Publishing

Brigantine Media is a small publishing house with big projects.

Our books, e-books, and DVDs include the topics of business, fiction, and education. Business and education authors are CEOs, business speakers, and professionals who have real-world insights to help people in business and education add to their skill set. Fiction authors are primarily Vermont and regional writers.

We select projects based on our evaluation of the interest in the marketplace for the topic and title. Brigantine Media editors and creative team help authors shape their material into well-crafted, professional books and DVDs.

Together with our authors we add marketing expertise to promote our titles to the widest audience possible.
