Hey, I’m Tom Morkes, CEO of Insurgent Publishing, a book publishing and marketing company that brings unconventional nonfiction to the creative outliers of the world.
We’ve published a half dozen books, including Paid to Exist and The Money Freedom Roadmap, both by Jonathan Mead, The High-Performance Athlete by Dr. Jason Winkle, and The Growth Hacker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Jeff Goldenberg and Mark Hayes.
We also provide full-service book marketing services, launching multiple bestsellers including: The 7 Day Startup, Stop Thinking Like a Freelancer, Do You Talk Funny?, The Art of Work, and The End of Jobs among others.
You can read about how I launched these books here and here (external links).
I believe in transparency, which is why I share my experiences on this blog, and teach what I learn (as an example, here’s a free 7 day course on how to launch a book to bestseller, which shares Insurgent Publishing’s approach to book launches).
