Paper Door Client, You Live Right Publishers, Signs on with PGW

Excited to announce that Paper Door client, You Live Right Publishers, has reached an exclusive agreement with Publishers Group West (PGW)/Ingram Publishing Services to distribute a line of cookbooks and healthy eating guides to the book trade. The partnership kicks off April 1st of 2021, starting with distribution of the existing Perfect Portion Cookbook to booksellers. The first new book from the press, satisfy, will be in bookstores fall of this year, focusing on gluten-free, low-calorie, plant-forward meals. (Despite almost none of that directly appealing to me, the recipes are really good—even my two test-kitchen picky eaters loved everything we’ve tried so far.)

Many thanks to Kevin Votel, VP Business Development, and Sarah Rosenberg, Senior Manager Client Relations, for helping to make this happen. After reviewing a number of distribution options, PGW turned out to be the best fit for You Live Right and best positioned to help a new press grow in a turbulent, but thriving, book market.

The imprint will be helmed by publisher Mona Dolgov, who has been a lot of fun to work with and is brimming with good ideas. She and her team are looking to publish 3–4 titles per year—one a season—and what she has in the pipeline is very cool. We just pushed out a release about the imprint, so for anyone interested in learning more, check it out.
