We began our mission to present quality books to the world in May 1994, when Phenix & Phenix Literary Publicists founder Leann Phenix had one inaugural client: historical novelist Janice Woods Windle. Within two years of publication, True Women, the author's first book:

• appeared on both the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists;
• sold more than 500,000 copies;
• was translated into eight languages;
• had a widely successful 16-city book signing tour;
• became a CBS mini-series, airing during Sweeps Week.
  
  From this success, the company steadily began building a reputation as one of the most well-respected media relations firms in the United States and around the world. As the publishing industry was revolutionized by the evolution of digital printing and new markets and print-on-demand publishing opportunities emerged for authors, the Phenix & Phenix team saw the need for a high-quality independent publishing alternative. BookPros was born to fill this need and together, BookPros and Phenix & Phenix offer the most comprehensive set of publishing and publicity services available.
  
  There are a few authors who are content with having their books available online or to pass out to friends and family but others have the goal of seeing their book on the shelves of major bookstores. BookPros has the services and key partners to help those authors who are serious about writing to realize his or her individual goals.
  
  Because even the most experienced authors find the publishing process far too complex to tackle alone, many authors give up on the system altogether. With BookPros, everything from editing to publicity is handled for the author in an all-encompassing package. BookPros' publishing imprints—Ovation Books, Synergy Books and Bridgeway Books—provide a single-source alternative for authors seeking to publish their manuscript, including editing, design, distribution, publishing and printing services. Once a BookPros title makes it through the publishing process, Phenix & Phenix steps in with a full-service publicity campaign to launch the title in the mainstream market.
  
  Every member of the BookPros/Phenix & Phenix team believes that books have the power to change lives and are dedicated to working with talented authors to create quality products and share each unique message with the world.
