About Us

WHO WE ARE

Book Mark Productions is a digital media company founded by Mark Damon Brooks that is dedicated to celebrating literature in all its forms. We create podcasts that explore books, storytelling, and the vibrant culture surrounding the written word, from character analysis to true crime to gaming. Our mission is simple: make literary culture accessible, entertaining, and impossible to ignore.

​

We believe that books matter. Stories matter. And the people who create, adapt, and consume them deserve platforms that go beyond traditional book reviews and dusty literary criticism.

​

Book Mark Productions exists to bring literature to people who might not otherwise engage with books. We reach readers, writers, gamers, true crime fans, history enthusiasts, and curious minds, meeting them where they are and showing them that literary culture is dynamic, relevant, and deeply human.

​

Each podcast serves a distinct audience. Together, they form a ecosystem that expands who gets exposed to literary culture.

​

A gamer discovers PAGE TURN and becomes curious about the books behind the games. A true crime fan finds PLOT TWIST and learns about the publishing industry. A history enthusiast listens to CHAPTERS OF HISTORY and falls in love with books they'd never considered. A writer finds CHANGE THE SUBJECT and suddenly understands their craft at a deeper level. Someone bored by "book culture" discovers BAD READS and realizes the book community is hilarious and human.

​

Literature doesn't need gatekeeping. It needs platforms. It needs entry points. It needs to be funny, dramatic, accessible, and real.

​

We believe in:

• Quality storytelling — Every episode is thoughtfully produced and genuinely engaging

• Authentic voices — Our hosts are passionate, knowledgeable, and unafraid to have real opinions

• Inclusivity — Literature is for everyone. Our shows prove it.

• Entertainment as education — You can learn something and have fun at the same time

• Respect for both mediums — Books aren't sacred artifacts. They're living, breathing stories that can be discussed, debated, adapted, and celebrated

​

Book Mark Productions is just getting started. We're building a network that celebrates literary culture from every angle and we're constantly exploring new ways to bring books and storytelling to audiences who might not have found them otherwise.

​

Whether through podcasts, video content, live events, or partnerships, we're committed to one thing: making sure literature stays relevant, accessible, and impossible to ignore.
