Publishing Epic Stories with Purpose
Want to partner with us?
Take the next step.
Professional publishing with a purpose. Our platform is unique in that our stories are not only epic in nature, but clean as well. Readers, parents, and educators are looking for exciting books with content they can trust. In addition, with many of the stories we publish we offer creative workbooks for the enhancement of literacy and comprehension. This helps us promote great reads to a wider audience, including conferences, homeschools, and other educational circles. Before you submit your manuscript, keep in mind that each author is encouraged to submit works that pursue positive character development with biblical values. If our goals of promoting epic stories with purpose interests you, we’d love to talk more!
Suggestions for authors.
- Build your readership: Much of marketing falls on the responsibility of the author to promote their own work. If you are able to gain a significant audience early on in your writing career you have a far greater chance of attracting a publisher’s attention. Create email lists, social media followers, and even YouTube or TikTok content.
- Bring your best work: We want to see action, dialogue, scene transitions, and most of all, character development in your writing. We love characters that find redemption through tragedy or discover a higher purpose through difficult circumstances. Find ways to keep readers on the edge of their seat and elicit emotional responses from them.
- Keep writing: Just because you don’t receive interest for a book you want published doesn’t mean you should quit. Keep writing. Often it is an author’s later work that gets noticed. We don’t mind if you send us more than one submission!
- Don’t get discouraged: Be patient if you don’t hear from us. We are very busy, but will do our best to read your submission as soon as possible. It may take several weeks (or months) to fully review your work, but that is because we take every submission seriously and with an open mind.
Looking to self-publish?
We have several complete self-publishing curation options and services to help confident authors with publishing experience bring their stories to market. We can help you design eye-catching book covers, copy-edit your manuscript affordably, and format your book for any platform without spending a fortune.
Self-publishing curation is handing over the publishing of your book without handing over the rights or royalties. By using our epic publishing services, you can guarantee that your book is published professionally and accurately to industry standards without falling prey to unnecessary costs or mistakes. Only need a few services? We can build a self-publishing curation project based on your needs.
