Everything you need for your book
I know. This sounds ludicrous. Everything I need for my book in just one week?
You’ve been typing away for years, pouring the characters and journeys onto the page. You’ve had a few friends read it and insist…
you need to get this published
But you don’t know how.
You’ve tried to make it look good, but the inside isn’t lining up the way it’s supposed to, or the cover isn’t quite what you envisioned.
And marketing it? You don’t have a big social media following, so you’re told,
“get a bigger audience and then we’ll talk”
Independent presses are a great alternative, but there’s so many and you don’t know where to start. You’ve heard the horror stories of someone being told they’ll be published, only to find out that they have to front all the costs of publishing, as well as marketing and book tour. Or that boutique press disappears without warning, leaving you unsure if that contract is still valid and if you now have the right to publish your book yourself.
There has to be a better way.

Equity & Justice Fund
As part of our commitment to bringing forward those voices historically marginalized by the traditional publishing structure, we offer a sliding scale based on your relative financial standing. In an effort to reflect disparity in economic condition and access to wealth, the following payment system is designed for those with more wealth to help cover the costs of those with less access to wealth and resources. We trust your discernment of your current financial situation and how you fit into the global economic context.
As you decide what amount to pay, please consider your present-day financial situation governed by income, but also the following factors: historical discrimination faced by your peoples; your financial wealth (retirement/savings/investments); your access to income and financial wealth, both current and anticipated (how easily could you earn more income compared to other people in your community, country, and the world; are you expecting an inheritance); people counting on your financial livelihood including dependents and community members; the socio-economic conditions of your locale (relative to other places in your country and in the world); your relationship to food & resource scarcity.
- $4000+ Partner – anything above the $3500 will be placed into the “Equity & Justice Fund” to help others afford services, and for us to offer community workshops.
- $3500 Supporter (Note: This amount reflects the “real” value)
