Our mission is to keep authors from getting lost or becoming prey
in the unfamiliar world of book publishing.

As a first-time author, do you often feel like a fish out of water on a beach full of cats? Unfortunately, that is the case much of the time in the world of publishing today. We are glad you have found your way to The Laurus Company where you will find caring "TLC." As you can see from our motto above, we understand that publishing a new book can be a scary proposition, and rightly so. There is much to be considered, and many choices must be made. If you are inexperienced, you are vulnerable to a lot of unknowns, as well as many unnecessary costs. Working with someone you can trust to guide you along the way is crucial for your peace of mind (and your pocketbook). At The Laurus Company, we endeavor to make your new venture an exciting and pleasurable one. This may very well be one of the great milestones in your life. We hope our TLC will fill it with great memories that will last a lifetime.

THE BOOK
Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, 2008 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, charged publishers:  "Culture … belongs to us all, to all humankind. But in order for this to be true, everyone must be given equal access to culture. The book, however old-fashioned it may be, is the ideal tool … for self-knowledge, for the discovery of others, and for listening to the concert of humankind, in all the rich variety of its themes and modulations. It is practical, easy to handle, economical. It does not require any particular technological prowess, and it keeps well in any climate."
