GenZ Publishing

Publisher info

There is an underrepresentation of new and innovative voices in the publishing world. It is nearly impossible to get representation if you are a new, young, or emerging author. There are so many great writers with unheard voices. We are ready to change that.

GenZ publishes new, young, and emerging authors--authors that have traditionally struggled to get their work seen and recognized by large publishing houses. There are so many writers with innovative ideas that deserve to be shared with a large audience. While we are selective about which works we publish, authors do not need an agent to submit. Since we provide extra support for authors whose brands may need more development (e.g. our high school-aged authors or our debut writers), we are able to create a positive, close-knit working relationship with our writers. They say that GenZ has become a family for them.

*GenZ is also the parent publisher to the Zenith Publishing YA/NA imprint.*
