Publish With Olive Tree
Quiet, considered books for the women who carry words worth keeping.
Who This Is For
You have been carrying these words for years.
Maybe in a notebook. Maybe in a folder on your phone. Maybe in the conversations you have with the women who already know that you are wise.
You don't want a publishing deal. You don't want to fight for an agent. You don't want your work watered down to suit a wider market.
You want one beautiful, considered, hand-finished book — made the right way, made just for you, made to last.
What We Do
Olive Tree Publishing offers assisted publishing for the woman with a manuscript in her hands and a story she will not compromise on.
We do not write your book. You bring the words.
What we do is everything that comes next:
🌿 Editorial shaping — finding the structure your words already want to take
🌿 Design and typesetting — interior layout in the Olive Tree house style
🌿 Cover design — your aesthetic, our craft
🌿 Print production and proof management
🌿 A first hand-finished run, delivered for your moment
Who This Is Not For
Olive Tree is not for everyone — and that is on purpose.
We do not publish books that need to convince. We do not chase trends. We do not publish at speed.
We publish women who are ready to be heard, exactly as they are.
The Investment
Each Olive Tree project begins with a one-hour conversation — to understand your words, your timeline, and what you have already carried this far.
From there, a tailored proposal is prepared, with a fixed founding-author rate and transparent production costs.
Founding-author rate: from $2,000 USD (Production costs quoted separately based on edition size and finish.)
A Word From The Publisher
I have walked alongside women in their personal development for 27 years. Olive Tree Publishing was founded so that what we hold quietly between us, can finally be made into something other women can hold too.
If your book belongs here, I will know it the moment we speak.
