Thriller
From a quiet release to a category leader
The Quiet Hour, debut thriller
A debut with no list and no press. We rebuilt the listing, ran a reader review campaign and stacked promotion around a fixed launch date.
Two titles, a full signing room and a launch day that sold through the table. We carried the books from manuscript to shelf with Arti Facts Publishing and a launch campaign built by HQ360. Your book can be next.

Who we are
We are five specialists who used to do this work separately: launches, listings, press, design and reporting. We shared the idea of putting it under one roof in 2020, kept testing it on real clients, and opened HQ360 properly in 2024. We build names, not just book pages, for people whose reputation is the product.
If your manuscript, cover or timing is not ready, we will tell you before you spend money. Roughly one in four inquiries becomes a client.
No quote goes out without a data backed audit behind it. You will see the reasoning, the comparables and the realistic ceiling.
Weekly written updates and a live dashboard. Every claim we make about your campaign has a number and a source attached.
What we do
Take the whole engagement or a single piece. Every service below has its own detail page with deliverables and typical timelines.
Category, keyword, cover positioning and description work that makes your listing findable and worth clicking.
Getting your title in front of active readers through curated lists, groups and reader communities.
A dated, coordinated launch plan across retail, email, press and community so the first week actually compounds.
A coherent visual and verbal identity, plus the press ready kit editors and producers ask for.
Podcasts, blogs and trade press pitched by hand to outlets that already cover your subject.
Ethical review generation from readers who actually received and read the book.
List growth, welcome sequences and launch flows that turn readers into repeat buyers.
Short form content, community posting and permission based direct messaging that reaches readers where they are.
Positioning, website and professional presence for founders and experts who are building a name, not only a book.
Speaker bureau introductions, panel submissions and guest expert bookings that put you on stage.

Self Help
Steady Work, self help
Three years after release, the title had gone quiet. New categories, a rewritten description and a podcast run brought it back.
Business
Margin of Trust, business
The goal was never royalties. We used the book as a credibility asset and built a speaking pipeline around it.
Memoir
Salt and Ash, memoir
Reader communities carried this one. Goodreads placement and a careful review campaign did the work that ads could not.
Personal Brand
Consumer software founder
No book. Just a founder with real expertise and no coherent presence. We set the position and built the surface area.
Fiction
The Long Field trilogy
We priced book one as an entry point, rebuilt the series page, and ran sequential promotion across all three titles.
Book launch
A live launch day for Sanman Thapa, built around signed copies, a full room and a cover reveal film. Photographs and video from the event.
