Palm Branch Publishing is an independent press with a dual mission: to champion new and emerging authors and to publish quality fiction infused with encouragement, hope, and positivity.
We’re looking for exciting new full-length fiction that aligns with our mission. We want to come alongside writers who are looking to improve their craft, eager to learn the publishing ropes, and committed to partnering with us to deliver their next book baby. Authors with a complete manuscript interested in working with us can email info@palmbranchpublishing.com to begin the conversation.
We also believe anthologies are a great way for authors to network with other industry professionals and grow their audience. Short stories offer the full start-to-finish reading experience in (often) a single sitting, worthy of their own place on the bookshelf. Our collections are curated for intentional readers who turn to fiction for entertainment, to exercise their minds, and to explore fresh voices in different genres.
One press. Two missions.
Your next favorite author is waiting to meet you!

’Tis the season to be jolly…or is it?
Christmas is meant for togetherness. But what about when you can’t celebrate with family and friends? Or when grief, disappointment, and regret take a seat at your table?
ALONE contains eleven stories to remind us that not everyone looks forward to the lights, the tree, and the excitement of the holidays. But they also illustrate how loneliness can become a community, and kindness can arrive through the tiniest of actions. Let this timely collection of poignant characters revive the spirit of grace, healing, and reconciliation within you.
No one should spend Christmas alone. Fill your cup and cozy up with Caroline, Holly, Chris, and the rest of the characters of ALONE for some authentic holiday goodness.
Best Independent Publisher in Bay County for 2025!
