Since its founding in 2012, Transcendent Publishing has helped hundreds of aspiring authors bring their visions to life, with over 700 #1 bestselling book launches to date.

With an unwavering commitment to excellence, Transcendent Publishing fills a unique niche by combining editorial and design precision with deep expertise in utilizing books as tools for business growth.
“At Transcendent Publishing, we see a book as more than just a product—it’s the cornerstone of an author’s brand and business,” says Trofe. “Our goal is to ensure that every book we publish not only meets the highest standards but also aligns perfectly with the author’s message, positioning them as an expert in their field.”
What truly sets Transcendent Publishing apart is its comprehensive, hands-on approach. Rather than focusing solely on book production, the team works closely with each author to develop a holistic strategy that integrates the book into their wider business ecosystem. This ensures that every published title becomes a vehicle for credibility, media exposure, speaking opportunities, and more.
Transcendent Publishing has also become a go-to choice for high-profile CEOs and entrepreneurs seeking to leverage the power of publishing to grow their businesses. With a keen understanding of personal branding and strategic marketing, the company ensures that each project supports both the author’s expertise and broader business goals.

Transcendent Publishing’s process is rooted in close collaboration and tailored support, encompassing every stage from concept development and manuscript refinement to professional editing, bespoke book design, and a strategic launch plan designed to position each book for long-term success. Every project is crafted with precision to reflect the author’s unique vision while meeting the highest industry standards.
“You only get one chance to make a first impression,” Trofe explains. “This is more than a book; it’s your legacy and an extension of your brand. It should be treated with the same care and intention as any other aspect of your business.”
