Our Authors

“Without Brooke and Writing Brave Press, there wouldn’t be a book. Thank you team for being my writing coach, cheerleader, editor AND publisher … you did it all.

My book is more than I could have ever asked for or imagined. It’s a work of art.”

-Sarah Magnoni, author of Not Alone: A Parent’s Guide to Navigating Mental Illness

“This experience, when I talk to other first-time authors, was really ideal. I feel quite privileged to have had this experience with Writing Brave Press as my first experience as an author.”

-Joseph Shipman

“I am so grateful for the guidance, coaching and friendship from the team at Writing Brave Press. I will come back to your team over and over. I can’t say enough good things about working with you! It was absolutely great teamwork.”

-Brigitte Volltrauer, author of the forthcoming Is It a God Thing?

FAQ’s

What kinds of books do you publish?

  • We publish memoirs, personal development and business books, novels, and select custom projects. (We do not currently publish children’s books.)

What IS a hybrid publisher, anyway?

  • We step into the space between traditional and self-publishing. You get the expertise and credibility of working with a professional team to produce your book, while retaining the bonuses of self-publishing (which include creative control, complete ownership of the rights to your book, and a MUCH quicker turnaround time than traditional publishing).

How long does a publishing project with Writing Brave Press take?

  • From the moment you submit your finished manuscript and sign a contract, your book will be ready to launch in about 6 months. (In contrast, traditional publishing can take 3-4 YEARS.)

How does the money work?

  • You pay upfront for the production of your book (see our packages below), and you keep 100% of the profits from the sale of your book. No complicated royalties.
