(03) / The story
Wren Books
The brief
Wren publishes twelve books a year and sells most of them through bookshops. Their site is a list of covers with no reason to read on.
What we did
We are writing short, honest blurbs for the whole back catalogue and designing a catalogue where every book has its own page, an extract and a link to a local bookshop.
How it went
Sofia has read forty of the 142 titles. Layouts are drafted for the catalogue and the author pages.
What changed
The new site is planned for the autumn book fairs.
