What’s your story?

Storytelling is a powerful way to deliver any message. Stories can appeal to our intellect, our curiosity, and our emotions. Stories can raise awareness, offer encouragement, provide education and guidance, document a life or experience—and sometimes, just provide an escape.

At Five Crow Press, we specialize in stories that make a difference—and whether it’s memoir, non-fiction, or fiction, every title we publish carries qualities that seek to inspire, inform, encourage, empower, and connect people with both the story and one another.

Do our books change lives? You just never know when one story can make all the difference in someone’s world.

They say that every person has a unique story only they can tell, and that every life could become a book. In the book only you can write, what could inspire readers to think, feel, or live in a new way?

Whether your book’s purpose is to entertain, inform, or create understanding, Five Crow Press is here with a professional team ready to develop and deliver your unique story into a book with wings.

How we can help

We are writers, editors, artists, photographers, and lifelong storytellers who have what it takes to help you get your story out of your head and onto the page. No matter the size, shape, or scope of your project, we’re ready to listen and help you find the publishing path that’s right for you.

We’ll start with a complimentary discovery call to discuss your project and its possibilities. From that conversation, we’ll lay out your options for a path to completion that could include coaching, manuscript evaluation, editing, and publishing—or options for developing your manuscript, proposal, and query package to pursue a trade publishing deal. Our recommendations will always center on serving you and your book project.

The Five Crow Path

Every book we publish flies the same five-stop route. It starts with a conversation and ends in a book with wings.


Stop one The conversation

A complimentary discovery call. We talk through your project, your timeline, and what you want this book to do.

Stop two The honest read

Coaching and manuscript evaluation — a clear-eyed look at what you have, what it needs, and what it could be.

Stop three The fork

Two ways forward. We help you choose the one that fits your goals, not ours.

Stop four The making

Editing, design, layout, and print — with your approval required at every gate along the way.

Stop five The wings

Marketing that keeps working from launch day through the whole first year.

At stop three, the route splits

The Proposal Track

A full proposal and query package built to win a traditional publishing deal.
