Publishing

At Small Gray Dog we work closely with our authors to bring each story to life with care, professionalism, and thoughtful collaboration. You don’t go through this process alone.

A cozy living room with wood-paneled walls, a large wooden bookshelf filled with books, two windows with blinds, a gray sofa with pillows and a textured blanket, a wooden coffee table with books and a small potted plant, a woven chair with a pillow, and a modern black desk lamp.
A study or reading area with an open book, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a pink highlighter, a cup of coffee, a gold-colored candle, a bunch of dried flowers, a pink sticky note pad, a notebook with a black spiral binding, and some scattered dried rose petals on a fluffy blanket and other layered blankets.
