The problem

A new book imprint needs a home that bookstores, librarians, and reviewers recognize as a publisher at a glance, not a design agency. And it needs one before the books exist, without pretending they already do.

Lovanium Press is Lovanium Studio’s sister imprint: Eric’s own book press.

The Lovanium Press homepage: the Lovanium seal above the LOVANIUM PRESS wordmark, the line Books worth handing down, and an introduction to a small family press.

What we built

  • One page that reads as a publisher. The imprint, its books, rights and orders, and who is behind it, in that order.
  • The books, ready to buy. Our Trail Devotions and Our Trail Field Guide shown as covers, with formats, prices, ISBNs, and links to Amazon and the web editions.
  • A clear line for the trade. Rights and permissions, bulk and church orders, and media requests go to one address. A press kit for churches, bookstores, and media has the covers in high resolution and a free sample.
  • Plain and fast. No tracking and no scripts: the page loads instantly and says exactly what the press is.
The Lovanium Press books section: covers for Our Trail Devotions, Year One, and Our Trail Field Guide, Year One, each marked Available now.
The first two books of the Our Trail series.
