Stories Worth Telling. Books Worth Publishing.
Your story matters. Let’s help you tell it well.
At Cushing Publishing, we believe publishing is about more than putting words on a page. It is about helping authors shape meaningful books, reach readers, and build something that lasts.
Since 2008, we have worked with authors at every stage of the publishing journey — from first manuscript to finished book, launch, marketing, media, and beyond.

Who We Are
Cushing Publishing is an independent publishing company built on relationships, quality, and a genuine belief in the people behind the books.
We publish fiction, nonfiction, children’s books, poetry, memoir, inspirational works, and specialty titles.
Every project is different because every author is different.
Our job is not to force every book into the same mold.
Our job is to help each book become the strongest version of itself.
More Than a Book
Publishing does not end when the book goes to print.
In many ways, that is where the real work begins.
Through the larger Cushing Media family, our authors can have opportunities that extend far beyond traditional publishing, including:
Podcasts and interviews
Television and video
Magazine features
Social media promotion
Author events
Book launches
Speaking opportunities
Community appearances

A book can become the beginning of a much larger platform.

For Authors
Have a manuscript?
Have an idea that will not leave you alone?
Or perhaps you have already published a book but know it could reach farther.
We help authors navigate the publishing process from beginning to end.
That may include:
Manuscript Evaluation
Determining what the book needs and identifying the best path forward.
Editing & Development
Helping strengthen the manuscript while protecting the author’s individual voice.
Cover & Interior Design
Creating a professional book that looks as strong as the story inside.
Production & Publishing
Preparing the finished book for print and distribution.
Launch Planning
Building momentum before the book reaches the market.
Marketing & Media
Helping authors continue reaching readers long after launch day.
When Should You Start Marketing Your Book?
Now.
One of the biggest mistakes authors make is waiting until their book is finished before thinking about readers.
Audience building can begin while you are still writing.
Every conversation, social media connection, appearance, interview, newsletter subscriber, event, and community relationship can help create the audience waiting for your book.
Publishing the book is a milestone.
Building the readership is the journey.
Why Cushing Publishing?
Because publishing should still be personal.
We believe authors deserve honest communication, professional work, and a publishing partner who cares about what happens after the book is released.
We are interested in relationships, not transactions.
We want to know the author.
We want to understand the book.
And we want to help both find their place in the world.
Built on Relationships
Some books begin with a manuscript.
Others begin with a conversation.
Many of our strongest projects grow from long-term relationships with authors, educators, business owners, community leaders, and storytellers.
We believe the best publishing happens when everyone involved is working toward the same goal:
creating a book we can all be proud of.

Have a Story Worth Telling?
Whether you have finished a manuscript, are still writing, or simply have an idea you cannot stop thinking about, we would love to hear about it.
Every book starts somewhere.
Sometimes it starts with a blank page.
Sometimes it starts with a conversation.
