Independent Florida Press
Scribomancer Guild Press
Good stories deserve good books.
Scribomancer Guild Press is an independent Florida press built around a fairly simple idea: publishing independently shouldn’t mean treating the book itself as an afterthought.
We make books for readers who like their mysteries atmospheric, their history muddy around the edges, their characters complicated, and their shelves filled with books that were made with care.
Print. Ebook. Audio. Large print. The occasional artifact that probably required more research than was strictly reasonable.
Welcome to the Guild.
Books, Artifacts & Other Story-Shaped Things
What We Make
Some stories behave themselves and fit neatly into their assigned categories.
Ours have been known to wander.
Scribomancer Guild Press publishes historical mystery, adventure, romance, short fiction, companion books, and other story-shaped things—with particular affection for immersive worlds, found families, complicated people, and settings that refuse to stay politely in the background.
The goal isn’t simply to put a story on sale. It’s to make the edition around that story feel intentional, whether someone is reading it in paperback, enlarging the type on an e-reader, listening to it on a long drive, or picking up a large-print edition from a library shelf.
The Work Behind the Work
Made Independently. Made Seriously.
Independent publishing gives us permission to ask questions like:
Would this book be better with a large-print edition?
Can the audiobook be available somewhere besides one retailer?
Does the front matter actually help the reader?
Should the fictional sheriff write his own field guide?
That last one got a little out of hand.
Scribomancer Guild Press approaches editing, design, metadata, distribution, accessibility, and production as parts of the storytelling process—not chores to get through after the manuscript is finished.
We believe books should be professionally made, thoughtfully distributed, and available to readers in the formats that work for them.
Practical Help for Independent Authors
And If You’re Making a Book of Your Own…
Publishing independently comes with an astonishing number of opportunities to discover a dropdown menu you’ve never seen before.
Through Scribomancer Guild Publishing Guidance, we offer practical, done-with-you help for independent authors navigating the less glamorous—but extremely important—parts of getting a book into the world.
KDP. IngramSpark. Formatting. Metadata. Pricing. Distribution. Large print. Launch setup. And the inevitable moment when a publishing dashboard asks a question nobody warned you it was going to ask.
You own everything. I guide. You decide.
Books change lives.
Sometimes they also require three ISBNs, seventeen browser tabs, a spreadsheet, and an unreasonable amount of coffee.
We can help with both parts.
