McBryde Publishing

Publisher info

Skip Crayton and Bill Benners founded McBryde Publishing in 2004 to offer an alternative to the repugnant, “basic no frills” printing services available to writers choosing to self-publish their works. They wanted to provide a good looking, quality product, find distribution, and help writers make a living as published authors.

We welcome novices that are fairly well developed as writers with an understanding of the concept of storytelling and know how to hook a reader.

Our books are available to bookstores and libraries worldwide and are compatible with every eBook reader.

We are searching for high quality writers to be a part of our family of authors.

McBryde Publishing is now a division of Benners Studio, Inc
