WHAT WE ARE & WHAT WE DO

What We Are

We are writers and publishers who have been in the trenches and have emerged wiser and stronger for it.
​
We are a finely curated small press with integrity as our baseline.

We are not a publishing service for hire or a vanity press. 

​We charge no fees and offer no advances.
​
​We believe in the power of the written word and its potential to change the world. ​

What We Do 

Simple. We publish books we love.

We do everything in-house: manuscript editing, interior book design, cover design & layout. We partner with Ingram Content Group for worldwide distribution of all Muse books. Our authors are responsible for their own marketing.
​
We do what we love and we love what we do. We run MMP like a treetop clubhouse minus the secret handshake (although we reserve the right to instate a secret handshake in the future should one become necessary).

What We Look For

We look for authors who are positive-minded and passionate about making a difference in the world.

​We look for like-minded individuals who have a damn good book, with the passion and perseverance to make it a great book, and are driven to make that book a bestseller through tireless creative marketing and courageous author publicity.

​We look for visionary writers whose books will add to the world in positive and/or thought-provoking ways.

Company Ideology 
Passion. Integrity. Balance. Compassion. Creativity. Positivity. Perseverance.
Make everyday conscious decisions that align with these qualities.
 
Business Philosophy 
A book has a life of its own, with its own innate timeline.
Deadlines are sometimes necessary, but not always practical. We endeavor to honor every book's natural evolution. If an author needs more time, we give it. If an editor requests another month, we grant it. When the book is ready, we set a publish date—one that gives the author enough time to achieve a successful book launch.
 
Corporate Motto  
​"Never quit until you're dead, and maybe not even then."
