About Mythic Quill Publishing

~Born from frustration. Built for authors.~

At Mythic Quill Publishing, we believe storytelling should be a shared adventure. It shouldn't be a maze of gatekeeping, vague rejections, or overpriced services that leave authors in the dark.

This imprint was founded because I, like many others, kept hitting walls while trying to publish a story that truly mattered to me. Not because it chased trends or followed a market formula, but because it had heart. What I found instead was a system filled with more hurdles than help, and more silence than support.

So I built something different.

Mythic Quill Publishing exists to support authors, especially those working in fantasy, sci-fi, and adventure, by offering clear, honest, and creative publishing guidance. Whether you're crafting an epic saga, a whimsical world, or a story that defies easy labels, we're here to help you shape it, refine it, and bring it into the light. No fluff. No ego. And no draining your bank account.

We offer confidential consultations, fair pricing, and full transparency about what we can and can't provide. If your story isn't a fit for our mission or style, we'll let you know—kindly, clearly, and, when possible, with feedback you can actually use.

We're not here to chase gatekeepers. We're here to build worlds, connect with readers, and launch stories that break the mold. At Mythic Quill, we don’t support traditional agent querying. Instead, we help authors publish with creative freedom, retain full control, and stand behind their stories with confidence.

At the heart of it all is respect: for your voice, your goals, and your creative vision. We don’t take your rights. We don’t make empty promises. We listen. We collaborate. And if we believe in your story, we’ll walk beside you to help make it real.

We don’t pretend to have all the answers, or decades of industry tradition behind us. What we do have is a clear mission, a deep respect for authors, and a commitment to building something better—together.

Mythic Quill Publishing is growing, evolving, and adapting as the publishing landscape continues to change. We see that not as a weakness, but as a strength. When we grow, so do you. And when you grow, so do we. This isn’t just a service. It’s a creative ecosystem built on mutual support, honest communication, and a shared commitment to staying flexible.

This is not a vanity press. It’s not traditional publishing either.
This is Mythic Quill Publishing: a story-first imprint focused on clarity, care, and creative freedom.

Let’s stop chasing cheese in the mousetrap, and hatch the phoenix together!
