Paige Wright Books was founded by Paige Stover Hague, a Boston-based publisher and book marketer with over twenty years experience in the business. Her career as a writer and publisher was fated from birth because yes, Paige Wright is her given first and middle name.
Her early career was in professional publishing where she worked on both the
editorial and marketing sides of the business. In 2000 she established her
own consulting firm providing a full range of services to authors and people
who are recognized subject-matter experts looking to leverage their
knowledge into revenue-generating products. The services offered by the firm
run the gamut of author support — manuscript review, revision, production,
representation, and publication.
Paige Wright Books helps writers bring a draft manuscript up to the
standards of a trade publisher, bring a book proposal to a literary agent,
and assist the author during the publication process after they are under
contract. The parameters of our role are flexible allowing us to provide the
degree of support that best meets your needs.
Paige Wright Books works hand-in-hand with Acanthus Publishing (
