Our Signature Co-Authorship Program

Community. Expansion. Publishing.

At Sovereign Acres Publishing, our Co-Authorship Program isn’t your typical “buy a chapter” deal. It’s a movement of truth-tellers, creators, and everyday revolutionaries reclaiming their voices on the page. Each anthology is a living archive of sovereignty, where your story doesn’t just fill pages - it changes lives, for generations. You’ll be guided through a professional publishing process with a deep sense of community, mentorship, editing, and even marketing support, emerging not only as a published author but as part of a legacy that’s reshaping what it means to live free.

Writing Support

Through our writing program, you will receive support from your lead author throughout our 9-week writing cycle. As well, our robust author resources kit provides you with in depth support when it comes to defining your writing style, establishing your story, what to include, what not to include, writing timelines, depth & more.

Community

Most of our authors come into these projects expecting to simply write their story and become a published author. Yet most leave this process with unexpected new friends, and connections. Writing is an intimate experience, and you're in good company with other women. Connect in our group channel, and online during our monthly group support calls.

Full Production

We take care of absolutely everything. Manuscript development. Editing. Proofreading. Interior design. Typesetting. Cover design. Marketing graphics. Marketing, branding & PR training, and launch support. We provide self-publishing services, with traditional publishing value.

6-Month Project Timeline From Writing to Print

Curious about how it all works? See below!

Project Preparation - This includes establishing the project concept, selecting a lead author, preparing all launch materials, establishing production timelines, application & onboarding.

Writing Phase - This includes a brainstorming, first-draft and final-draft phase. Within this period is where our co-authors will also receive support from the lead author, leverage our writing resources & tools, and join our monthly group support calls.

Design - Our design phase is where the cover and interior design concepts are established.

Manuscript - Once the writing process has been completed, the lead author compiles the manuscript to submit to the publishing house.

Production Cycle - During this period, the editing process is completed, followed by the implementation of design, proofreading & total review.

Final Approvals - Co-authors have a chance to sign off on their chapters, and address any minor changes that may need to be made. Followed by the formal publishing house sign off process.

Amazon Upload - The book is then uploaded to Amazon, set with the official live date as per the book's scheduled launch date.

Launch - The book is formally launched on Amazon, with a celebratory kick-off call for authors to invite their friends and family to. There is a strong focus on the launch for a period of 72 hours to climb the charts on Amazon across relative categories.

Post-Launch Debrief - The publishing house tea, production team and lead author meet to discuss the project, identifying both successes to celebrate, and opportunities to continue to refine the process for future projects.

All authors have full visibility of the approved timeline for each stage.

This is about so much more than becoming a published author.
