About Mythic Quill Publishing

~Born from frustration. Built for authors.~

At Mythic Quill Publishing, we believe storytelling should be a shared adventure—not a maze of gatekeeping, vague rejections, and overpriced services that leave authors in the dark.

This imprint was founded because I, like many others, hit wall after wall trying to publish a story that mattered to me. Not because it followed the latest trend or fit a market formula, but because it had heart. And yet, what I found was a system with more hurdles than guidance, 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—through 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. Without fluff. Without ego. And without draining your bank account.

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

We’re not here to chase gatekeepers—we’re here to build worlds, connect readers, and launch boldly outside 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 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 this not as a weakness, but as a strength. As we grow, so do you—and as 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 together.

This is not a vanity press. This is not traditional publishing.
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!
