Become a Founding Sponsor
The first 10 sponsors get a permanent “Founding Sponsor” badge, locked-in pricing for life, and their name on our wall of fame. We’ll also co-announce your partnership — giving you immediate visibility to our entire launch audience.
Who sponsors Taper?
Our ideal sponsors are services that authors and agents actually use: manuscript assessment services, editing coaches, MFA programs, writing retreats, literary magazines, publishing consultancies, and author-focused software tools.
If your audience includes people who write, query, or represent books — Taper is where they live.
