The appears to be a simple advertisement for a start-up publishing company. The plethora of references all appear to be advertisements or parroting of press release. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 23:56, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete misusing Wikipedia for advertising purposes. Small, newly created "company" which didn't meet WP:GNG in all ramifications talk less of WP:CORPDEPTH which its entire life is not long enough to reach that. All the references (Save The Nation, Vanguard and perhaps Pulse News) are unreliable blogs and ordinary websites. The reliable ones I singled out above, are "not" reporting about a company, they're only advertising the "arrival of new publishers for writers", we don't advertise on Wikipedia as they do. The tone and referencing bombing of the lead show another clear is the usual pattern of advertisers on Wikipedia. Legitimate article are created without even citation in lead, or at most 1 - 3suffices &thinsp;&mdash; Ammarpad (talk) 08:57, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment The " history ", " reception " and "services" are another reasons to delete this article. In history, the author completely end up advertising recruitments, though they used wrong date. Service and Reception section need no more explanation. They are totally what Wikipedia is not. Overall this new company didn't live enough to meet WP:GNG, didn't have WP:SIGCOV except adverts,  uses unreliable sources and is promotional &thinsp;&mdash; Ammarpad (talk) 09:07, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
