Southern Momentum Publishing House

Hybrid Publisher for Underrepresented Southern Women & Femme Authors

  • Southern Momentum Publishing House is home to new and established underrepresented and special emphasis on BIPOC Southern women and femme-presenting authors. We will never ask an author to compromise themselves in any way.

    We create and hold space where authenticity is foundational, unapologetic voices are heard, and our authors are fully seen and represented.

    As an independent hybrid publisher, we collaborate closely with our authors; guiding their publishing journey from idea to manuscript to published work.

    Our commitment goes beyond publishing—we foster community, empowerment, and opportunities to grow in the craft of writing that disturbs the status quo.

    Our mission is to push Southern BIPOC women (femme) writers stories to the forefront of the Southern literary landscape.

  • We envision a radically transformed literary landscape where words like underrepresented, amplified, and forbidden are no longer necessary to describe any group of authors—or used as mere marketing strategies.

    Southern Momentum Publishing House strives to help create a world where authenticity and unapologetic storytelling are the norm, not the exception. A world where every voice is heard, and every story is told without the need for justification or validation, and every Southern author is fully seen.

  • Hybrid publishing companies behave like traditional publishing companies in all aspects, except they publish books using an author-subsidized business model. As opposed to financing all costs themselves and, in exchange, receive higher-than-industry-standard share of sales proceeds or royalties.

    A hybrid publisher makes income from a combination of publishing services and book sales.
