announce the launch of LevelFiveMedia, a multi-faceted
company whose mission is to serve authors by helping
them create and develop the ideas and messages that will
attract and motivate passionate, loyal readers. The
partnership will provide services to improve authors’ media
opportunities, expand their platforms, and enhance their
ability to reach and mobilize their constituencies. First and
foremost the goal is to create value for authors, which in
turn creates value for publishers and other media partners.
L5M will go beyond traditional literary representation by
offering integrated services including marketing
consultation and media development. We believe this
integrated approach will return some of the power to
authors, who are--first, last and always--what the book
business is all about.
With a combined half-century in the industry, the
founders of L5M have a wealth of experience. Both started
out as booksellers, Hemming at Case Western Reserve and
Hanselman at Harvard. They each went on to establish
independent bookstores in their communities. Both joined
the publishing ranks in sales and marketing roles, rising to
high-level editorial and publishing positions, Hemming
most recently as President & Publisher of HarperCollins
General Books and Hanselman as Senior VP and Publisher
of HarperBusiness, HarperResource, and
HarperSanFrancisco.
Together they have published countless best-selling and
award-winning authors.
