Button Hall Is
Franziska Macur, PhD
Co-founder, Publisher
Franziska is a storyteller at heart who brings a unique blend of academic insight and creative passion to her work as the co-founder of Button Hall.
With a PhD in Communication and years spent as a college professor, she has a knack for seeing the big picture where others might get caught in the weeds. As a project manager, she keeps things organized and ensures no detail is overlooked, making each publishing project an inspiring journey from start to finish.
Her passion for storytelling shines through in her own writing—she’s a romance writer and a potter who delights in creating worlds both on the page and at the wheel.
Mark Figlozzi
Co-founder, Publisher
Mark is a writer and creative director based on the west coast. He majored in creative writing at Oberlin, studied screenwriting in Hollywood, and runs a marketing and design agency in Seattle.
Mark spends his days coaxing amazing work from talented creators. His favorite writing wisdom is that every single page of a novel has to sell you on reading the page that comes after it.
He’s an optimist, who believes great writing will always find readers if given a chance -- he’s also a driven perfectionist who knows every detail counts.
