About Where Books Begin

Where Books Begin, LLC was founded in 1992 by veteran editor Ellen E. M. Roberts to bring the old-time editorial attention back to authors. Roberts, who had been an acquisition editor at St. Martin’s Press, William Morrow and Prentice Hall, as well as a sales manager at Columbia University Press over a period of 25 years, understood that 80% of book income is earned by the top 5% of titles. She knew from her work in sales that it is the author rather than the publisher whose name actually sells books. Where Books Begin concentrates on helping authors get their reputations as well as their books into the best possible shape before the book is sold. This is crucial in today’s volatile publishing atmosphere.
