What Maven does

One number. Four things.

01

Answers from the real shelves

Someone texts asking for a literary fiction recommendation. Maven answers from The Book Catapult's actual catalog with real titles and staff picks.

02

Learns what readers love

Every conversation teaches Maven whether someone reads literary fiction, mysteries, nonfiction, or kids' books so future picks land.

03

Fills author events and signings

When an event needs RSVPs, Maven finds the readers who'd actually come based on what they read.

04

Run The Book Catapult by text

Text Maven to push an event, flag a signed copy, or see who's been asking about a specific author.
