📚✨ One of the greatest joys of my work is meeting the incredible authors I have the privilege of publishing. This week, I had the honor of meeting and sharing a whiskey and wine with , the brilliant mind and heart behind Perfect Strangers: Echoes of a Black Suburban Youth. Sitting down with him in person was nothing short of inspiring—these moments remind me why I love what I do.

At Empowered Press and across our three imprints, we’re not just a publisher—we’re a family. As a boutique independent press, we pride ourselves on cultivating real, meaningful relationships with our authors. We know their stories are deeply personal, and we honor that by fostering an environment rooted in empathy, positivity, and one-on-one specialization.Our authors are not just another name on a roster. They are a partner, a collaborator, and someone we celebrate every step of the way. From the first manuscript to the book’s release and beyond, we’re here to walk the journey with you. Our authors’ successes are our successes, and that connection makes every milestone more meaningful.

Getting to meet my authors face-to-face, like I’ve been lucky enough to do with so many during my travels, makes this journey even more special. It’s a reminder of the heart, grit, and talent behind every story we publish.

Justin, it was an absolute pleasure, and I can’t wait to see how your memoir will resonate with readers everywhere. Thank you for trusting Empowered Press with your voice and your story.

Here’s to building relationships that last far beyond the books! 📖💛

Congratulations to Empowered Press author Today is PUB DAY for his debut memoir: “This is Not a Death Sentence: A Memoir in Verse”

Explore the depths of This is Not A Death Sentence: A Memoir in Verse by Anton Jones, where poetry meets the raw truths of living on the schizophrenic spectrum.
Jones crafts a poignant narrative that weaves together the threads of depression, mania, boxing, door-to-door sales, delusional crushes, poverty, haunted houses, su***de, healthcare challenges, homelessness, fatherhood, and the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest. Each poem serves as a fragment of Jones’s fractured reality, reflecting the relentless struggle to conceal stigmatized symptoms only to confront them head-on.

His poetry captures the essence of this lived experience, depicting the suffocation of coherent thought through a cascade of movements, associations, and vivid hallucinogenic imagery. Despite years of decline and what seems like an endless fight, Jones finds the strength to confront his illness, refusing to surrender to despair.

Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite indie bookstore!

Although I DO NOT recommend fragmenting oneself the way I have done the last seven years—graduating with a BA, writing a memoir, earning a double masters, running three publishing imprints, moving across the country, starting a bookstore pop up, opening a brick and mortar bookstore, coffee shop, wine bar all while enrolled in another Masters program (MFA)—I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is the beginning of the end of my MFA—the first of three thesis courses where I will refine my 90k word manuscript and present it to my thesis advisor and dean of my college in March of 2025. I will then officially earn my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Fiction, with a concentration in Contemporary Women’s Fiction. I started this journey in 2022 and of course have taken several detours.

But I never gave up.

Ive ugly cried more than once, screamed when no one was listening nearly every day—but I continue to persevere.

I know, I must look like a ridiculous fool to most of you, and perhaps I am but my foolishness and overzealous behavior, I belive, will pay off one day. Above all, I have learned so much and love that I’ve been able to implement said lessons into my daily adventures.

Here’s to never giving up—but also never fragmenting myself like this again!
