We live in a great era where self-publishing is mainstream and the traditional use of publishing houses has become secondary. What does this mean? It means no censorship. It means great ideas can be shared straight to the public without having to jump through the hoops of the big publishing houses’s opinions. It means you don’t have to be rich or famous to share your story. It means stories are being told as the author’s intended to tell them. Self publishing nurtures new ideas, true diversity, better pay for authors, and better books for readers!

Stone Press is here to support your freedoms to tell a great story! We do not publish any books besides the Evynlore books, but we are here to help answer questions (for free), and to help you on your own journey and quest as a writer. S. R. Usher personally reads the emails sent to Stone Press Publishing, and will do her best to answer your questions or connect you with someone who can help.
