Dolphin Entertainment, a prominent entertainment marketing and production company, is venturing into the publishing world through an exclusive partnership with Copper Books. This strategic move aims to provide a seamless publishing journey for the wide array of talent represented by Dolphin's various agencies.

Unleashing Voices: Dolphin's New Publishing Frontier

A New Horizon for Dolphin's Diverse Talent Pool

Dolphin Entertainment is embarking on an exciting new chapter with the introduction of its publishing imprint, created in close collaboration with Copper Books. This initiative is tailored specifically for Dolphin's extensive roster of clients across its renowned brands, including 42West, The Door, and Shore Fire Media. The goal is to empower these individuals to bring their stories and ideas to life in published form.

Strategic Alliance for Comprehensive Book Distribution

The newly formed partnership ensures that all literary works released under this imprint will benefit from national distribution, facilitated by the established network of Simon & Schuster. This collaboration signifies a robust platform for authors to reach a broad audience.

Empowering Creators from Concept to Shelf

Dolphin's vision for this imprint is to offer an all-encompassing pathway for its talent. This means guiding artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, creators, and cultural influencers through every stage of the publishing process. Whether their narrative takes the form of a memoir, a novel, a leadership guide, a culinary collection, or a children's story, the imprint is designed to support their journey from initial concept to a finished book on store shelves.

Building on a Legacy of Literary Engagement

Dolphin and its associated agencies, such as 42West, The Door, Shore Fire Media, Elle Communications, Special Projects, and The Digital Dept., have a history of involvement in the publishing industry. Their past experiences include managing book launches, coordinating author tours, and spearheading marketing campaigns for publication days, laying a strong foundation for this new venture.

A Complete Journey: From Idea to Screen

Bill O'Dowd, CEO of Dolphin, expressed enthusiasm for the imprint's potential, highlighting the ability to engage with clients from the very beginning of their creative process. He emphasized the commitment to accompanying authors through the entire publication journey, from developing initial concepts to securing national distribution. Furthermore, he noted the possibility of adapting compelling stories for the screen through Dolphin's production and development division, offering a truly integrated entertainment ecosystem.

Fusing Boutique Craftsmanship with Extensive Reach

Allison Trowbridge, founder and CEO of Copper Books, shared her excitement about the collaboration. She emphasized that Copper Books was founded to support individuals with meaningful messages and lasting contributions, a philosophy that perfectly aligns with Dolphin's clientele. With Dolphin's creative and public relations infrastructure backing each launch, this partnership promises authors the personalized attention of a boutique publisher combined with the broad accessibility of a major publishing house.
