What if the world had a publishing house where the “gatekeepers” offer help and encouragement, not just form rejection letters? An ecosystem where authors can participate as editors? Where everyone involved can become investors? What if hopeful writers could speak one on one with publishing house staff? Get feedback on their work? Learn how to make it publishable? Learn how to write what sells? What if “real people” could have access to the same publishing and promotional resources as most top authors in the industry and still collect up to forty percent of royalties after the publisher’s cut?
Steemhouse Publishing founders have heard the frustration expressed by authors, editors, agents, and even readers about the difficulties faced in bringing new, high quality fiction to market.
We believe the old model is imperfect, and that there is a better way. When we began to explore alternatives to the nearly impossible gauntlet highly talented authors face in getting exposure and compensation for their work, we saw that it could be done. Not only that, but we could offer them more access to professional marketing, as well as coaching that helps them to improve their craft, and still run a profitable publishing company.
Steemhouse Publishing is an independent book publisher with a focus on quality fiction. We’re also a thriving online community of writers, editors, and skilled creatives capable of mentoring authors from their very first attempt at fiction all the way to publication. Our roots are right here in the Steem community. We intend to become committed investors here and to teach the authors we onboard about the benefits of investing in this cryptocurrency.
We have a stellar lineup of staff and administration for this new venture. Currently a dozen writers, editors, and seasoned community leaders are working together to launch our first novel. We have four integral board members who speak every day and keep their fingers on the pulse on cryptocurrency markets, the mainstream publishing industry, and the major Steem communities.
