A Message From Hannah
I Built Storylight Because Good Books Were Disappearing.
I am Hannah Cooper. I have spent twelve years working in and around the book publishing industry — first inside traditional publishing houses in London and New York, then as an independent platform strategist serving authors directly. I founded Storylight Studios in 2019 because I kept watching the same tragedy unfold: a brilliantly written book, a genuinely talented author, and a complete failure of discovery.
The problem was never the writing. It was positioning. It was the Amazon metadata architecture, the Goodreads presence, the social ecosystem — all of the invisible infrastructure that determines whether a book gets found or doesn't. I understood how to fix those things. And I realized that most authors had no idea they even existed, let alone how to repair them.
So I built a team of eleven specialists — each one focused exclusively on one part of the book discovery ecosystem — and we built a methodology that begins with a complete diagnosis before we recommend a single action. We call it diagnostic-first strategy, and it is the reason our results are specific, measurable, and repeatable across every genre we work in.
If you have a book that deserves more readers than it currently has, I want to hear about it. Not to sell you a service. To tell you honestly whether we can help, and exactly how.
"Every book I have ever worked on had the same underlying problem: it was invisible to the people who would have loved it. My entire career has been about solving that one specific problem, at the level of depth it actually requires."
— Hannah Cooper, Founder & CEO

We are not a marketing agency. We are strategists who specialize in books.
Storylight Studios was founded on a single observation: most books that underperform do not underperform because they are not good enough. They underperform because they are positioned incorrectly, indexed against the wrong search terms, invisible on the platforms where their ideal readers gather, and disconnected from the algorithmic signals that determine whether any book is discovered or ignored. These are solvable problems — with expertise, precision, and a genuine understanding of how these platforms actually work.
Platform Expertise
We specialize exclusively in book discovery platforms — Amazon, Goodreads, TikTok, Instagram, and more. This is all we do, which means we understand it at the depth that produces real results.
Diagnostic First
Every engagement begins with a complete platform diagnostic. We identify exactly what is suppressing your book's performance before we recommend a single strategic action.
Ethical, Sustainable Strategy
We build platforms and algorithms to work for your book through legitimate, sustainable methods. Every result we produce is built to last — not to spike and collapse.
Specialist Team
Our eleven-person team includes dedicated specialists for every platform and service area. You receive genuine expertise in every element of your strategy, not generalist advice.
The Difference Between Promotion and Strategy
Our Three Founding Values
Diagnose First
Before recommending anything, we understand everything. Every engagement begins with a forensic diagnostic audit that identifies exactly what is suppressing your book's visibility.
Platform-Specific Strategy
We do not believe in generic marketing. Every platform has its own algorithm, community culture, and discovery mechanics. We build strategy for each one specifically.
Metrics That Matter
We measure success in rankings, reviews, ratings, and revenue — not in vague engagement metrics. Every recommendation we make is tied to a measurable outcome.
The Strategists Behind Your Book's Growth
Thirteen specialists. One exclusive focus. Your book's success.
Every person on this team brings deep, current, platform-specific expertise to every client engagement. No generalists. No interns. Only specialists.
