Ridgewood Rooster Books was founded in 2016 by Andrew Yackira, a veteran publishing professional with well over fifteen years of experience ranging from book production to development editing, copy editing, proofreading, agenting, and acquisitions for the trade book market. This means that Andrew has meticulous knowledge about the life of a book, from start to finish. He's worked with bestselling authors, first-time authors, and everyone in between—as well as agents, publishers, cover designers, copywriters, publicists, and all of the other unsung heroes that work to bring a manuscript to life. He loves nothing more than working closely with authors to help shape their writing.
