Dolphin Launches Publishing Imprint With Copper Books for Talent Across 42West, The Door, Shore Fire Media and More (EXCLUSIVE)

Dolphin is launching a new publishing imprint that will be exclusively available to the entertainment marketing and production company’s clients across its brands, including 42West, The Door and Shore Fire Media.

Created in partnership with Copper Books, works published under this partnership will be distributed nationally through Simon & Schuster.

Per Dolphin, “For the first time, the artists, athletes, founders, creators, and cultural voices represented across Dolphin’s family of agencies have a direct, end-to-end path from idea to bookshelf, whether that story is a memoir, a novel, a thought leadership title, a cookbook, or a children’s book.”

Through the partnership, which was announced at the Copper Books Book Fair in Nashville Monday, Dolphin will be able to offer clients a “true publishing pathway,” from editorial development to design-forward production to retail distribution through Simon & Schuster.

Dolphin has already dabbled in the publishing world over the years through its brands 42West, The Door, Shore Fire Media, Elle Communications, Special Projects, and The Digital Dept., which have worked on book launches, managed author tours, and led marketing for publication days.

“Our agencies have spent years being the team behind some of publishing’s most celebrated launches,” Dolphin CEO Bill O’Dowd said. “What we’re excited by now is the ability to be there from page one. With this partnership, we can walk alongside our clients through the entire journey. From the seed of an idea to bookstore shelves nationwide, and, when the story is extraordinary enough, all the way to the screen through our production and development division.”

“At Copper, we built something for people who are ready to say something meaningful and build something that lasts,” Copper Books founder and CEO Allison Trowbridge said. “Dolphin’s clients are exactly the voices we created this for. With the full strength of Dolphin’s creative and PR infrastructure behind every launch, this partnership gives those authors the intimacy and craft of a boutique publisher and the reach of a major.”
