We Are The Intercontinental Atelier
Our Story
The Intercontinental Atelier began as something entirely different: a book club. In 2017, a small group of passionate readers from different corners of the world started meeting online to discuss their favorite novels. What started with 50 members quickly grew into a movement.
By 2020, The Intercontinental Book Club had become a thriving community of over 50,000 readers spanning 85 countries. We weren't just reading books together — we were building genuine connections across cultures, time zones, and languages.
As our community grew, so did a recurring question from our members: "How do I write and publish my own book?" Many of our most devoted readers had stories of their own burning to be told. They had the passion, but they lacked access to the professional support that would help them succeed.
"We realized that the same community that loved reading books could help create them."
In 2022, we launched The Intercontinental Atelier — a full-service creative studio built specifically for authors. We assembled a team of industry veterans: editors from major publishing houses, marketing experts who had launched bestsellers, designers who had created iconic book covers, and coaches who had guided hundreds of authors to success.
Today, we offer everything an author needs under one roof: from ghostwriting and editing to branding, marketing, and international distribution. We've helped over 500 authors bring their visions to life, and we're just getting started.
