About The Hale Publishing
We exist so more stories reach the world.
The Hale Publishing is a full-service publishing partner for independent authors. We bring together editors, designers, production specialists and marketers who share one belief: every author deserves a professionally published book — without giving up their rights, their royalties or their voice.
- Author-first publishing
- 100% rights & royalties
- One dedicated team
Your Publishing Partner
Professional publishing, without the gatekeepers.
For too long, authors faced a hard choice: wait years for a traditional deal and sign away their rights, or publish alone and hope the result looked professional. We started The Hale to offer a third way.
Today, our team supports writers at every stage — from the first idea to the hundredth review. We handle the craft and the complexity of publishing; our authors keep creative control, full ownership and every royalty they earn. It's publishing built around the people who write the books.
