Durant Publishing

Durant Publishing is a national media conglomerate. It first began as a way Lisa Durant could sell her second, less well-known book ‘A Different Tune’ since none of the major publishing companies wanted to take the risk. Its headquarters are in Windenburg.

History
When Lisa Durant was pitching her second book after coming out of rehab, none of the major publishers wanted her fiction book. Feeling deflated, she set up Durant Publishing initially just so she could hire a team to market the book around the world. The book took off in Italy, but nowhere else, but still provides a healthy amount of royalties.

When Lisa researched the success of Hearst, she decided she wanted to build her own empire of publishing and assigned a full team including CEO, Colby Cromwell, to focus on the writers of tomorrow.
