For journalists, producers, booksellers and course adopters working with what we publish.
Three desks, three jobs
We keep these separate on purpose, so you land on the one that can actually help you.
Come to us for review and examination copies, excerpt and reprint permissions, cover art and author photography, bulk and institutional orders, and interviews about the books or the magazine — exits, succession, family governance, or how a buy-sell actually gets funded.
Working on one title? Go straight to its kit: Exceptional by Design · Exceptional Systems.
Email the press desk ›The press and podcast kit — downloadable headshots, a bio a host can read cold on air, topics, and past appearances.
Press & podcast kit ›Writing about business exits, valuations, or the wealth transfer? The firm’s media page carries the firm’s own coverage and data.

Quoting or excerpting
Short quotations for review or comment need no permission from us — a citation to the title and author is enough. Anything longer, any reproduction of a framework, worksheet or assessment, and any use in a course, cohort or corporate training needs our written permission. We answer quickly and we are not precious about it.
Covers, logos, photography
We supply jacket art, author photography and the Exceptional wordmark on request in print resolution. We send marks as vector, and they are used solid black or solid white only — never recoloured, boxed, stretched, or pulled from a web page.
