Rowan Prose Publishing See other projects related to this listing. About Rowan Prose Publishing was founded in 2023 and launched in January 2024 by Kelly Moran, Shelly Small, & Katie O'Connor to be a unique publishing experience. Who else knows the readers better than those who write books themselves?Large publishing houses have dominated the market with titles they pick, and for years, those were the only options. But then, the indie boom happened, giving a voice and opportunity to not only authors, but to readers, too.However, the book world is saturated with titles. It's inundating. How does one stand out among the fray? Who helps indies get seen? When a traditional publishing contract has run out, what do those authors do with their books once they've left the shelves? What about authors who want the cushion of a publisher, yet the freedom of self-publishing?That's exactly what Rowan Prose was created for. We bring a fresh approach to the industry by publishing books readers want with tropes others won't touch. We publish second or third edition runs by your favorite authors whose contracts elsewhere have ended. We publish newbie authors just emerging from their cocoons. Plus, we offer separate services like editing, cover design, and formatting for indie authors who want to keep total control. Our authors maintain their audiobook and film options. Our authors get a say in their cover design. Our authors get to keep more of their royalties than from our competitors. And, all of this is done with the backing of great marketing that utilizes distinctive, alternate, unconventional means so our authors shine.Like we said. By authors. For authors.
