Rolling Up Our Sleeves 

No matter your level or your job title, you’re willing to dive in headfirst to get work done and support the team. No one is above lending a hand and ensuring what needs to get done to achieve success together. We are The Dream Team.

 

Authenticity and Making a Connection 

Having a genuine connection with our authors is what sets us apart from many publishers. At Ten16 Press, we believe in a “people-first” approach where the needs of the author are heard, celebrated, and supported. This support may come in the form of just listening to their story, reading and responding to their emails closely (and in a timely manner), or scheduling meetings to ensure that everyone feels heard and understood.

 

Professionalism 

There is a time for play and a time for work. At Ten16 Press, we aim to effortlessly marry the two by making genuine connections with authors and freelancers while maintaining exceptional professional relationships.

 

Experiences

Learning by experience is the way we grow. We shouldn’t be afraid of failure if we’re trying, learning, and moving forward. We always push ourselves to try new things—both personally and professionally.

 

Creativity 

Our authors rely on our ability to be creative, to think “outside of the box,” and to deliver marketable and page-turning content. Being creative at Ten16 Press is strongly encouraged and should be fostered on a personal and professional level.

 

Transparency 

We believe in being honest with our authors and with ourselves to become the best people, co-workers, and advisors to our authors that we can be.

 

Continuous Improvement 

Both for our own professional development and for the services we provide our authors, taking proactive action to become an ever-better version of ourselves is essential for the team at Ten16 Press.
