Independent Press Publications was founded on a simple conviction: every person who carries a true story deserves a real path to publication.
Large houses move slowly. Algorithms and market departments dictate which voices are allowed through their gates. And self-publishing requires authors to become printers, distributors, marketers, and technicians instead of doing what they were made to do—write.
This press stands in the gap.
Independent
without being isolated
We are a small house by choice, not circumstance. Our independence allows us to make decisions based on the value of a story, not market trends or corporate mandates.
Professional
without being impersonal
Every author works directly with experienced professionals who know their name, understand their vision, and care deeply about the success of their book.
Agile
without sacrificing craft
We move quickly because we're nimble, not because we cut corners. The path from manuscript to finished volume is guided, humane, and swift.
What We Believe
We help authors bring their books into the world with dignity, ownership, beauty, and clarity. No gatekeepers. No cold machinery. No need to surrender your work or your earnings to a corporation that doesn't know your name.
Our Mission
To shepherd meaningful, story-shaped books into the world—especially those that would otherwise remain unpublished—and to offer authors a publishing path marked by freedom, care, and craftsmanship.
Our Vision
We imagine a publishing home where:
- Human stories—not trends—determine what gets printed
- Authors retain ownership and personal voice
- Books are made with beauty and truth, not compromise
- The path from manuscript to finished volume is guided, humane, and swift
Who We Serve
We exist for memoirists, storytellers, creators, contemplatives—for anyone who carries a book within them but has never found the doorway through which it can emerge.
What We Publish
We publish works with heart:
We do not publish technical manuals or mass-market textbooks.
Our shelves carry stories—human, luminous, honest.
