Stories To Tell Books HELP AT EVERY STEP FROM DRAFT TO PUBLICATION
Every book starts out as an idea. To make that dream a reality, authors need guidance.

Stories To Tell is an independent publisher that helps authors self-publish books intended for a limited audience or aiming for the bestseller list including family history, memoir, business or career building books, commercial fiction and nonfiction. We can help right from the beginning, by talking about plans and goals as the book takes shape. If you like, we will read the draft and suggest chan

Creating a book is a fascinating, enjoyable project...when you know how to proceed. An experienced editor can answer your questions, teach you what you need to know, and speed your book to completion.
