Recommends,

given a room of its own.

A private hub where the country's media and content creators meet every title you recommend, request their review copies, and take what they need. We designed it, we built it, and it is live.

It lives for about one day.
01 / The Problem

Every edition of Exclusive Books Recommends is twenty-six hand-picked titles, each with a real review. Today it travels as a PDF, sent once, by email.

A journalist scrolls it on the day, then loses it in an inbox. The replies arrive anyway. The curation is brilliant. The container is a dead end.

Then nowhere.
02 / The Idea

So we built it a living home.

Not another website to maintain. A private, login-gated hub for media and creators, set head to toe in the language of Exclusive Books.

One link carries the covers, the reviews, the assets and the review-copy requests, in one place that belongs to the brand.

The Edition

The whole month, beautifully shelved.

Book of the Month at the top, then Fiction, Non-fiction and Young Adult. Cover art, reviews, the lot, laid out the way it deserves.

Every Title

A page for every book, review and all.

Any title opens to the full write-up, the cover, and one clear next step. No more digging through a PDF on deadline.

Review Copies

Request a copy, the way it should work.

Media mark their favourites and request review copies on the spot, delivery details attached. The workflow your team runs by hand, now a single tap. It lands in your queue, not your inbox.

The Assets

Covers, releases and packs, ready to take.

The press release, the individual covers, the asset packs, all in one place. The end of the resend-the-cover email, for good.
