Our story, mission, and commitment to publishing exceptional literature.
Prose and Poetry Press started in 2014 because we love books and believe everyone deserves to have their voice heard. We began as a scrappy independent publisher and have grown into a publishing home for writers from all walks of life. What matters most to us is genuine stories, beautiful books, and authentic connections with readers.
Over the past decade, we've had the privilege of publishing more than 500 books across all kinds of genres—fiction, memoir, poetry, self-help, and everything in between. We're most proud of the relationships we've built with our authors and the diverse community of readers who love our books. Publishing isn't just our business; it's our passion.
To help writers get their stories into the world and connect readers with books that matter. We believe in being approachable, supportive, and genuinely excited about the work we publish. We want every author to feel valued and every reader to discover something special.
As both a hybrid and small, traditional press, we understand that every author's journey is unique. We evaluate each manuscript carefully to determine which publishing option—hybrid or traditional—is better suited for the author and their work.
This personalized approach means we can offer flexibility and tailored support, whether you're looking for the collaborative guidance of traditional publishing or the creative control and faster timeline of hybrid publishing. What matters most is finding the right path for your book and your vision.
In all transparency, our prices are set forth with one thing in mind—paying for the work our editors, proofreaders, graphic designers, and marketing team do to bring your book to life. We believe in honest pricing that reflects the value of professional publishing services.
