Welcome to
The Author's Journey




The Author’s Journey offers hybrid publishing with the distribution potential of traditional publishing. Your book is distributed globally through Ingram Content Group, the largest distributor in the U.S., making it available to major retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, indie bookstores, and libraries.
As a hybrid publisher, you retain rights, royalties, and decision-making power. With the reach of traditional publishing and the freedom of self-publishing, you get expert editing, design, and marketing support to create a professional book that’s ready to reach readers worldwide.

This my 2nd publication and the 3rd anthology in which I've participated. To Elona's credit, it is the first anthology that allows me any possibility of remuneration. Thank you, Elona!
