Books we publish
Three imprints, one standard. We acquire, edit, design, print and sell our own list — which means every process we put an author through is one we run on ourselves first.

The Invisible Backpack · Stage Wives

The catalogueTwo
A publishing partnership for authors who want a house behind the book. The copyright stays yours. We bring the editorial team, the design, the imprint, the print run and the retail machinery.
How it worksThe catalogue
* Availability depends on the publishing package. Not every title runs through every channel.
On Caretaker
“A supernatural tale about breaking generational curses to forge new bonds of hope. A book with soul.”
Tosca Lee, New York Times bestselling author
The imprints — three houses, one word
Fiction · the old tale
Fiction with a long memory. Stories that come from lived truth and carry it forward.
Non-fiction · the true tale
Non-fiction wisdom that passes between generations — expertise, faith, leadership and life story.
Children’s · the tale for children
Picture books and early readers for real family life, and books that hand a child something worth keeping.
Why authors come to us
We built this house for our own books first. Every editor, printer, distributor and deadline we put an author through is one we ran on ourselves — so the advice you get from us is a map, drawn by people who walked it.
01
We register it in your name, and every edition we print carries your copyright notice.
02
50% of net receipts to you, rising to 75% and then 90% as the book matures.*
03
Our own ISBN prefix, full bibliographic metadata, and wholesale, retail and library channels.*
04
Short agreements in plain language, and we walk you through every one before you sign.
05
Our own list runs through the same houses. What we tell you is what happened to us last quarter.
We read a small number of submissions each year and take on what we can publish properly. If you think yours is one of them, start here.
