Client Testimonial

“The Worcester Polytechnic Institute Press opened its doors in 2023. Since our first day, we have worked with Peter Potter and Tianna Snyder to develop the press from the ground up. The experience and support the team provided enabled us to develop press policies and protocols that helped us take off quickly. In our first year, we signed five authors. Without Peter and Tianna’s support, we would still be developing our logo, mission, statement, and style guide.”
