Loeb & Loeb represented ByteDance, the Beijing-based technology company behind TikTok, and its book publishing arm, 8th Note Press, in a partnership with independent book publisher Zando.
Since its launch in August 2023, 8th Note Press has published over 30 books exclusively in digital format. Previously focused solely on digital releases, 8th Note Press will now launch its first print editions in the U.S., with distribution available both online and in brick-and-mortar retailers through this partnership with Zando. The new collaboration plans to publish 10 to 15 books annually, with the first releases scheduled for early 2025.
Loeb & Loeb Entertainment associate Brittany Berckes advised 8th Note Press on the deal and negotiated the agreement on its behalf.
