PUBLISHING PATHWAYS

Casa de María Publisher offers two ethical publishing options, designed to meet writers where they are while maintaining professional editorial standards, author dignity, and cultural integrity. When you publish with Casa de María Publisher, your  work gains enhanced visibility and professional legitimacy with bookstores, libraries, distributors, and reviewers.

 

Writers can pursue book publication through manuscript submission or share their work as contributing authors in our Casa de María Publisher Anthologies. These contributions are created through our writing retreats and virtual writing experiences. Both options are built on community, reflection, and editorial care.

 

 

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION FOR PUBLICATION:

 

Writers may submit original manuscripts for consideration as single-author publications through Casa de María Publisher. Submissions are reviewed thoughtfully and accepted based on mission-alignment and publishing capacity. 

 

With our single-author publications, writers review our "Publishing Pathways" to find the one that best fits their needs. Both require an author investment.

 

Our "Publishing Pathways" differ in scope of visibility and promotional support. However, they do not differ in editorial rigor or respect for the author's work.

 

Authors whose manuscripts are accepted, receive a clear publishing offer outlining the selected pathway, editorial process, and timeline. Writers are given the time to thoughtfully consider any author investment before deciding whether to move forward.

 

ANTHOLOGY CONTRIBUTING AUTHORS

 

Casa de María Publisher Anthologies:

 

Writers who take part in our in-person or virtual webinar retreats are invited to contribute to Casa de María Publisher Anthologies.

 

These collaborative publications celebrate voices and creative work emerging from our in-person or virtual writing retreat experiences.  

 

There is NO additional financial contribution required to participate as a contributing author in a Casa de María Publisher Anthology beyond:

  • Enrollment as a Casa de María Writer's Retreat participant, or 
  • Participation in our virtual writing retreats or webinar-based writing experiences

 

Anthology contributions are curated with care. They reflect the collective creativity of our writers.
