Independent. Bold.
Built for voices that deserve to be heard.
Our Mission
AZ Literary Press exists for one reason: to publish outstanding work from individuals whose voices are often overlooked. We’re small, yes. We don’t have the reach of the big publishers. But what we do have is heart, vision, and a commitment to the craft.
We believe in championing great storytelling without sacrificing integrity. We seek bold narratives, fresh perspectives, and works that leave a lasting impact—because real literature isn’t about market trends, it’s about expression, depth, and truth.
How We Operate
Unlike large publishing houses, we take a focused, selective approach to publishing.
AZ Literary Press operates on a royalty-based model—we invest in the books we believe in and handle editing, production, and distribution.
The initial royalty split favors AZ Literary Press to ensure sustainability.
Once the book earns back production costs, royalties shift toward the author—ensuring a long-term balance.
We don’t publish everything—we publish what deserves to be published. Manuscripts that catch our eye may receive a personalized publishing offer, ensuring that each book is handled with the attention it deserves.
Looking to the Future
At AZ Literary Press, we believe that no matter what the times bring, literature has the power to make the world a better place. Voices from all backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life deserve a place in the conversation, and we are committed to celebrating creativity in all its forms.
As we grow, we want our authors, readers, and supporters to grow with us—to build a community of storytelling that fosters connection, understanding, and change. Whether through future contests, featured works, or a space for discussion and discovery, AZ Literary Press is dedicated to keeping the written word alive and thriving.
Because great stories—stories that challenge, inspire, and move us—will always have a place here.
