Our Authors

At Stitched Smile Publications, our authors are not just contributors. They are the heartbeat of everything we do. Every story we publish carries a piece of someone who trusted us with their work, and we take that seriously. Here is what you can expect when your name is on our spine.

What We Offer Our Authors

Your Own Author Page

You get a dedicated page on our site, yours to keep as long as we are publishing. It includes your photo, your bio, your work, and a Behind the Story note if you choose to write one. Readers who find you here will always have a place to land.

Real-Time Royalty Dashboard

When a reader buys your ebook directly from Stitched Smile, the sale appears immediately in your private author dashboard. Log in anytime to see your reported sales, check your royalty earnings, and track your payments.

Royalty Statements on Demand

Need a record for your taxes, your agent, or your own files? Download a clean PDF royalty statement from your dashboard whenever you need one. No waiting, no requests, no back and forth.

Two Advance Copies

Before your title hits the shelves, you will receive two advance copies of every work you contribute to. Share one, keep one, or bring both to your next signing. They are yours.

A Video Interview for Our YouTube Channel

We want readers to know the person behind the story. Every Stitched Smile author is invited to sit down with us for a recorded interview on our YouTube channel. Talk about your work, your process, your obsessions. We will handle the rest.

Your Own Launch Kit

When your work publishes, we put together a personalized launch kit just for you. It includes a graphic with your name and story title, the book cover, a buy link, and a few caption options you can make your own. Post it, share it, or use it as a starting point.

Author Pricing on Extra Copies

Want to sell at a convention, bring copies to a signing, or keep a stack on hand for direct sales? You have the option to order additional copies at a set author price. We want your work in as many hands as possible.
