From my First Annual Letter as CEO of Scribe Media: The Year of Surviving, Dec 17, 2024

July 2023

20 people
Zero revenue
Reputation worse than zero

December 2024

A team of 26 people full-time
More than 110 books published over the past 16 months
Mantra: “Flawless on the Fundamentals.”

I’m proud that all three of my books are published by Scribe Media.

More about the rebuild

The team and publishing service at Scribe was incredible. I became a fan, referred friends, and hired them again for The Anthology of Balaji.

I reached out to a couple of friends, and we all agreed that Scribe was an important company with solid fundamentals. It was worth the work to try to rebuild it. After the transition, I was given the opportunity to lead this rebuild and was appointed CEO of Scribe Media.
