A Publishing Company Shaped by the Process
Sitting in Traffic Publishing Co. is an independent publishing company providing editorial, design, production, and publishing support, while selectively publishing projects under our own imprint.
One Book Showed Us the Whole Process
Sitting in Traffic Publishing Co. grew out of the process of developing and publishing The Playbook. Bringing one project from concept through editing, design, production, and publication made clear how many moving parts authors are often expected to manage on their own.
That experience helped define the company's approach: step in where needed, keep the process practical, and treat editorial, design, and production as parts of the same finished product.
Practical Help. Thoughtful Execution.
We do not believe every author needs the same package. The right level of help depends on the book, the stage of the project, and what is already working.
Step In Where Needed
Some projects need one piece. Others need help across the entire publishing process.
Keep It Understandable
Publishing has enough moving parts already. Our job is to make the next step clear.
Design Matters
A strong manuscript still needs thoughtful presentation, production, and execution.
Finish Strong
The goal is not simply to upload a file. It is to produce a book that feels complete and intentional.
A Small Publishing Company With Two Clear Roles
Sitting in Traffic is being built to serve authors in two ways: practical publishing support when they want to remain in control of the project, and selective publishing under our own imprint when the right project comes along.
Publishing Services
Editorial, design, production, KDP, and related support for authors who want help finishing or publishing their own books.
Our Imprint
A selective home for projects we believe fit the direction, standards, and identity we want Sitting in Traffic to represent.
Independent by Design
Sitting in Traffic Publishing Co. is based in the Philadelphia area and is being built as a hands-on, independent publishing company with a practical approach to getting books finished and into the world.
