Artistry is your advantage
Today’s audiences crave content worthy of permanent ownership.
Make your message something they want to keep.
A renewed appetite for permanent ownership over throwaway consumption is emerging. Exhausted by digital content, people crave human artistry, heirlooms and kept things they can touch, set down and pick up again and again.
Vogue’s new editor, Chloe Malle, understands this—and she is transforming the iconic fashion magazine from disposable to cultural artifact by printing fewer issues as collectible editions on premium paper.
At Light, we create books as cultural artifacts—timeless to read, beautiful to hold—so your leadership travels farther and makes a long-lasting impression. We ghostwrite leadership books; write and design signature working books for organizations and teams; and create bespoke, heirloom-quality Legacy books.
Leadership Books
Your strongest voice—bound.
There aren’t enough books by women about the work of leading. We’re changing that. We help you create a powerful leadership book—conceived, structured, and written in your voice—so your ideas travel farther than a keynote or a byline.
We partner end-to-end, from the earliest spark to a finished manuscript and beautifully designed book. The process is bespoke to you, with a pace that fits a leader’s calendar. You’ll feel both held and stretched—clear on your through line, confident in your chapters, and proud of the words on the page.
What this is (and isn’t)
This is not a templated business book. It’s a living conversation, shaped into a work with substance and soul. Grounded in your experience, designed to be useful, timeless, and unmistakably in your voice.
