Why we exist

Writing a great book is only half the battle.

Authors pour years into a manuscript, then watch it sit unnoticed and unread. The book is good. It just never reaches the readers it was written for.

In 1982, Naura Hayden published Astrological Love. Despite all her passion and effort, it sold 2,000 copies of a 5,000 print run, and the rest ended up in thrift stores. Years later a New York publisher came across the book, loved it, and republished it under a new title. Without changing a single word, it sold more than 2.5 million copies.

That story is why Scribando exists. How a book is presented and marketed matters as much as what's inside it, and we make sure your hard work gets the spotlight it deserves.

From agency to Launchpad.

More than a decade of launching books, now open to every author and every reader.

Where we work

Vienna, and wherever our authors are.

Our main office is in Vienna, Austria, named the world's most liveable city in 2022. It sits across from Liechtensteinpark, the grounds of an 18th-century palace, right next to the U.S. and Swedish embassies.

Our project managers work remotely from places like the UK, Greece and the U.S., so our international clients always have someone in a similar time zone.

In Vienna? Drop us a line at hello@scribando.com and come by for a meeting. Viennese coffee and a croissant are on us.
