Muse Literary

Independent. Traditional. Bespoke.

Muse Literary is a small, independent publishing house with a singular purpose: to empower writers by offering a publishing model that values both literary excellence and financial success.

We created Muse Literary to challenge the status quo - to build a publishing house where writers are seen as partners, not just content creators.

We believe authors deserve more—more royalties, more profits, and more control over their publishing journey.

Muse Literary was founded by writers, is run by writers, and puts the needs of our writers first throughout the entire publishing process.


At Muse Literary, we recognize that every book is a unique creation, shaped by the author's vision and refined through a collaborative process.

From the moment a manuscript is submitted, it enters a carefully guided journey where multiple elements come together to bring the story to life.

Unlike many traditional publishers, we believe success shouldn’t come at the expense of the author—it should be built alongside them.

At Muse Literary, we offer a full suite of publishing and editorial services designed to support authors at every stage of their journey. Whether you're seeking traditional publishing with professional guidance, or a more customized path to fit your goals, our services are built to be flexible, transparent, and author-first.

From manuscript review and developmental editing to typesetting, cover design, and distribution, we handle every step with care and creativity. We also specialize in non-traditional book sales and strategic publishing plans that help authors not only publish their work, but build a lasting and profitable writing career.
