Redefining The Fine Art
Of Modern Book Making
Above the Noise began as a set of field notes Marcus kept while advising founders through their hardest years. It grew into a book about the discipline of clear thinking — how to filter signal from noise, build habits that hold under pressure, and make decisions you won’t have to reverse.Founded on the belief that extraordinary writing deserves an equally uncompromised publishing experience, City Line Publishing bridges traditional literary craftsmanship with state-of-the-art audio production.
For more than a decade we have partnered with debut voices, seasoned authors, and cultural institutions to bring extraordinary books into the world. Every title is shepherded by a dedicated team — editors, designers, narrators, and marketers — working.
