What we do
Editing & Ghostwriting
Still Running Books is born out of our longstanding history of delivering polished, unbylined content - a sort of “slap a name on a story” or behind-the-scenes content creation and refinement. We offer decades of experience in uncredited writing and editorial support to third-party individuals and organizations.
As we formalize our footprint, the Still Running Books enterprise would elevate and bring our invisible hands to light; and so, effectively showcasing our behind-the-scenes efforts and enhancing our overall impact.
The standardization or official structuring of Still Running Books will provide a platform to recognize and integrate previously unseen work into our core narrative – featuring our specialized skills, fundamental appeal and value proposition.
Do you have a story concept or rough draft in need of editing, structural overhaul or complete rework, we can help!
Publishing & Marketing
Frankly, we are not publishing or marketing experts (not yet!). However, in light of our foundational experience noted above, we have begun the journey as industry practitioners. We intend to harness and leverage our technical expertise as applied learner-researchers and project developers to immerse ourselves into learning and gradually acquiring the requisite skills and knowledge.
While we’re exploring potential alliances and best practices from industry frontrunners, we recognize that personal accountability drives success; and so, we’re the architects for the outcomes.
