Introverted Soul Collective Press

Publisher info

Introverted Soul Collective Press may be the new kids on the block, but we know what we are doing when it comes to the publishing world. We know all about how hard it is for great writers, like you, to get the attention they deserve or to be appreciated for their storytelling abilities.

​Erika Strauss, the owner of this fine establishment, published her novel, Simon Says Die, in May 2022. However, received news shortly after that the publishing company would be closing its doors in early 2023, leaving her second book without a home. After sending the book to many publishing companies, she always received the same response, "we loved the story but it doesn't fit into our mold. Best of luck!" That's when she realized how many writers are going through the same struggle and how she could help them become the published author they wanted to be.

With her trusted friend, editing partner, and colleague, Ashley Blocker Moore, they set out to do just that. They figured out that the only way to shine the light on some amazing indie writers is to help make their publishing dreams a reality while helping self-published authors put out high-quality novels–a service neither of them has seen another publishing company provide.

Introverted Soul Press Collective roots for the underdog because we, as writers, have all been the underdog at some point in our lives.
