The Sager Group


Publisher info

The Sager Group was founded in 1984 by the journalist and author Mike Sager. In 2012 it was chartered as a multi-media artists’ and writers’ consortium, with the intent of empowering those who make art—an umbrella beneath which artists can pursue, and profit from, their craft directly, without gatekeepers. TSG publishes eBooks; manages musical acts and produces live shows; ministers to artists and provides modest grants; and produces documentary, feature and web-based films. By harnessing the means of production, The Sager Group helps artists help themselves, artifex te adiuva.
