Brigantine Media publishes books, e-books, and DVDs in three genres: business, fiction, and educational.

The best books result from collaboration between author and publisher. Our editors and designers help shape the author's vision into top quality business books that are valuable assets.

The principals at Brigantine Media have both strong marketing and publishing experience. We know what it takes to make a successful book, both with professional editing and design, as well as through marketing muscle. We specialize in creating special and bulk sales opportunities for the books we publish.

Brigantine Media embraces the newest and best marketing tools to showcase our books on the Internet and to sell through special sales, speaking appearances, and social networking opportunities.
