Our team

The people behind the work.

PageRise is a small creative marketing studio working with authors to help their books reach more readers, thoughtfully and beautifully.

The studio

We bring book marketing, Goodreads Listopia strategy, cinematic trailers, author websites and retail optimisation together under one quietly focused studio.

Team / Leadership

Aurora

Founder & Creative Director

Aurora founded PageRise on a simple conviction: a book should not disappear because its author could not afford a publicist. She sets the creative direction on every campaign the studio takes, from the first list we target to the last frame of a trailer, and she reads every title before we agree to represent it.

Leadership

Direction & production

The people who set the creative standard, guide campaign strategy and carry each production through to its final frame.

Production Lead

Abdulmuiz

Abdulmuiz runs the studio floor. Scripts, voiceover, motion, score and the dozen platform cuts every trailer ships in, all of it moves through him. He is the reason a PageRise film arrives on the promised date without a single compromise on the finish.

Portrait of Karren, Marketing Strategist at PageRise

Marketing Strategist

Karren

Karren builds the plan behind the visibility. She maps genre categories, keyword territory and Listopia placement into a single sequence, then tracks the ranking week by week so nothing is left to a guess or a feeling.

Strategy

Strategy & acquisitions

The specialists who read the book, understand its market and shape the plan before a campaign begins.

Portrait of David Christopher, Acquisitions Strategist at PageRise

Acquisitions Strategist

David Christopher

David decides which manuscripts the studio takes on and what a campaign should cost to do properly. He assesses a book on its own terms, its market, its comparable titles and its realistic ceiling, then tells an author the truth about all three before a single invoice is written.

Portrait of Lauren Bennett, Acquisitions Strategist at PageRise

Acquisitions Strategist

Lauren Bennett

Lauren reads the manuscripts the studio is offered and works out whether a campaign can do right by them. She weighs a book against its market, its comparable titles and its realistic ceiling, and she is the one who tells an author, plainly and early, what PageRise can and cannot honestly deliver before any work begins.

Portrait of Estella Nielsen, Book Strategist & Manuscript Refinement Specialist at PageRise

Book Strategist & Manuscript Refinement Specialist

Estella Nielsen

Estella works on the book before the campaign begins. She reads the manuscript as a reader would, then as an editor would, and tells an author what is helping the story land and what is quietly holding it back. Her notes are the reason a PageRise launch starts from a book that is already as good as it can be, so every other piece of the campaign has something worth selling.

Portrait of Ruth Praise, Book Strategist at PageRise

Book Strategist

Ruth Praise

Ruth is the strategist who reads a book and works out what it is really for. She looks past the genre label to the reader a title is actually written for, then tells the studio where that book belongs, what it should be measured against and what a fair campaign looks like for it. Her judgment is the reason a PageRise plan starts from an honest picture of the book rather than a hopeful one.

Portrait of Isabella Thompson, Publishing Partnerships Director at PageRise

Publishing Partnerships Director

Isabella Thompson

Isabella has spent two decades on the publisher side of the table, and she brings that address book with her. She negotiates the co-op placements, festival slots and bookseller programmes that most independent authors never get offered, and she knows exactly which door is worth knocking on for a given title.

Visibility

Marketing & discovery

The team carrying each title to the right readers across Goodreads, retail, audio and the wider book community.

Portrait of Natasha Seavey, Book Marketer at PageRise

Book Marketer

Natasha Seavey

Natasha gets a book in front of the readers most likely to buy it. She reads a title, finds the audience it actually belongs to, and works the channels, the communities and the platforms that turn a quiet release into a visible one. Authors tend to describe her as the reason their book found the readers it was written for.

Portrait of Kevin Harrison, Book Publicist at PageRise

Book Publicist

Kevin Harrison

Kevin helps authors find the story that makes their work worth talking about. He shapes clear, thoughtful angles for each title, then builds relationships with reviewers, interviewers and literary media so the right books reach the right conversations. His approach is personal, precise and grounded in publicity that earns attention rather than demands it.

Portrait of Sarah Brown, Book Marketer & Audiobook Specialist at PageRise

Book Marketer & Audiobook Specialist

Sarah Brown

Sarah works the channels where a book actually meets its readers, and she brings the audiobook side with her. She reads a title, finds the audience it was written for, and runs the ads, the communities and the storefront pushes that turn a quiet release into a visible one, then carries that same title into audio so it reaches the listeners who never buy a print edition. Authors tend to describe her as the reason their book found readers they had not imagined reaching.

Portrait of Sophia David, Book Marketing Strategist at PageRise

Book Marketing Strategist

Sophia David

Sophia turns a book's audience into a plan. She reads a title, works out which readers it was truly written for, and builds the channel, community and ad strategy that carries it to them. She treats marketing the way the studio treats every other part of a launch, as something crafted rather than guessed, and authors tend to describe her as the reason their book reached the readers it was always meant for.

Portrait of Anna Müller, Book Marketer at PageRise

Book Marketer

Anna Müller

Anna finds the readers a book was written for and carries it to them. She reads a title, maps the channels and communities where its audience already gathers, and runs the outreach that turns a quiet release into a visible one. She treats every campaign as a conversation rather than a broadcast, which is why PageRise authors tend to reach readers they had not imagined reaching.

Portrait of Amelia Isabella, Book Visibility Specialist at PageRise

Book Visibility Specialist

Amelia Isabella

Amelia makes sure a book is seen by the readers most likely to love it. She works the storefronts, the discovery channels and the platform surfaces that put a title in front of its audience, then keeps it visible long after launch week. She treats visibility as something engineered rather than hoped for, which is why PageRise titles tend to stay findable long after the initial push fades.

Portrait of Charlotte Jane, Listopia Visibility Expert at PageRise

Listopia Visibility Expert

Charlotte Jane

Charlotte helps books earn meaningful visibility on Goodreads by matching each title with the Listopia lists its readers genuinely use. She studies genre, positioning and reader behaviour, then builds focused placement campaigns that help the right audience discover a book naturally and keep finding it beyond launch week.

Portrait of Arvid Fischer, Amazon & Retail Optimisation Lead at PageRise

Amazon & Retail Optimisation Lead

Arvid Fischer

Arvid lives inside the storefront. Keywords, categories, A+ content, pricing tests and the ad spend behind them all sit with him, and he treats a book page the way a bookseller treats a window display, tuned until the right reader stops. He is why PageRise titles keep ranking long after launch week is over.

Portrait of Emma Collins, Reader Growth & Campaign Analyst at PageRise

Reader Growth & Campaign Analyst

Emma Collins

Emma watches the numbers so an author does not have to. She tracks ranking movement, ad performance and review velocity across every live campaign, then tells the team exactly where the next push should land. Her reporting is the reason a PageRise launch can be adjusted mid-flight instead of judged after the fact.

Creative

Brand, content & outreach

The people shaping how authors sound, appear and connect wherever readers encounter their work.

Portrait of Johanna Smith, Author Brand & Content Strategist at PageRise

Author Brand & Content Strategist

Johanna Smith

Johanna shapes how an author sounds everywhere readers meet them, from the jacket copy and the website voice to the posts that carry a book through launch month. She comes from editorial publishing, which is why her copy reads like a book rather than an advertisement, and why authors so often tell us it finally sounds like them.

Portrait of Riley Chapman, Partnerships & Media Relations Lead at PageRise

Partnerships & Media Relations Lead

Riley Chapman

Riley opens the doors a book needs on the way out. Bookstagram and BookTok partnerships, podcast bookings, newsletter swaps and press desks all sit with her, and she works them the slow way, by building a real relationship long before there is anything to pitch. It is why PageRise authors get answered when most releases get ignored.

Portrait of Martin Charlotte, Social & Community Lead at PageRise

Social & Community Lead

Martin Charlotte

Martin builds the audience that carries a book past launch week. She runs the studio's social craft end to end, from the hook on a BookTok cut to the rhythm of an author's posting calendar, and she treats a comment section as somewhere real readers live rather than a metric to farm.

Portrait of Charlotte Morgan, Book Specialist & Publicist at PageRise

Book Specialist & Publicist

Charlotte Morgan

Charlotte places books in front of the people who write about them. She reads a title, finds the angle a features editor will actually care about, and works the review desks, podcasts and local press until a book stops being a release and starts being a story. Authors tend to describe her as the reason their name appeared somewhere they never expected.

Operations

Client experience & launch

The team keeping every author informed and every campaign moving from onboarding through delivery.

Portrait of Cindy Brooke, Client Relations Manager at PageRise

Client Relations Manager

Cindy Brooke

Cindy is the first person an author speaks to and the last one to sign a campaign off. She handles onboarding, keeps every timeline honest and makes sure nobody has to chase us for an answer, so the studio can stay heads-down on the work itself.

Portrait of Justina Joy, Author Success Manager at PageRise

Author Success Manager

Justina Joy

Justina is the person an author hears from most. She learns a book properly before a campaign starts, translates what the studio is doing into plain language, and makes sure nobody is ever left wondering where their launch stands. When something slips, she says so first.

Portrait of Miarah, Pre Order Campaign Manager at PageRise

Pre Order Campaign Manager

Miarah

Miarah owns the weeks before publication, the hardest and most decisive stretch of any launch. She sequences pre order pushes, reader outreach and launch-week momentum so a book arrives already carrying an audience.

Portrait of Alinta, Pre Order Outreach Specialist at PageRise

Pre Order Outreach Specialist

Alinta

Alinta speaks to readers. She works the reviewer lists, the shelving accounts and the genre communities that turn a quiet release into a visible one, and she does it one genuine conversation at a time.

Portrait of Olivier Susan, Launch Operations Manager at PageRise

Launch Operations Manager

Olivier Susan

Olivier keeps every live campaign moving. She holds the production calendar, the review deadlines and the hundred small dependencies between a manuscript and a launch date, and she chases them so an author never has to. When a PageRise launch lands on the day it was promised, that is usually her doing.
