Publish With Soul Spark Publishing
Soul Spark Publishing is a hybrid publisher specializing in memoir and story-driven nonfiction.
We publish books where personal narrative is the backbone. Sometimes that's pure memoir. Sometimes that's a business book that uses the author's story as the framework for their methodology. Sometimes it's narrative nonfiction where the author's experience illuminates a bigger topic. But in every case, it's story-first.
We're selective about which books we publish because every title in our catalog represents our commitment to exceptional storytelling and finding the story beneath the story. When you publish with Soul Spark Publishing, your book becomes part of our curated catalog—not a self-published project, but a Soul Spark Publishing book that carries our reputation for quality and the care with which we hold our authors.
If you're ready to tell your story—in whatever form it needs to take—we're here.
