Readers' Favorites
We do take publishing seriously, but we also have fun designing books, sharing stories with authors, and hearing back from their readers how a particular book changed their life. Such is the power of books…
For us publishing means to make public, to share with the world what you, as author, have created over many months, moons, and sometimes, years. Unlike most publishers, we think of the relationship with you as a partnership in which both of us are equal collaborators who want to share ideas and stories widely, while benefitting equally.
If you are interested in working with us, please drop us a line.
