Dee Marley, the brain behind Historium Press, took a good look at the traditional publishing scene and noticed something missing. Lots of amazing historical books were flying under the radar, left unpublished and unnoticed. So, Marley had this lightbulb moment: why not start a press that sits right in the middle of self-publishing and the traditional route? Her goal was simple: to pick books based on their quality, and to give historical authors, who have spent years of research and hard work, a chance in the publishing world without spending more years waiting for a word of recognition from the traditional publishing world. With Historium Press, authors do not need to worry about falling prey to vanity presses, as well, who only care about the money and not on the author. Hybrid is a new way to publish and is making a splash in the vast world of traditional publishing, even to the point that other traditional publishers are now opening their own hybrid platforms!! (Yes, this is happening! Ask Simon & Schuster!!) Historium Press offers the same platform as the big boys at a fraction of the cost of what they charge!!
Historium Press specializes in historical fiction, covering everything from literary and fantasy to mystery, romance, and more. They also dive into nonfiction. They take manuscripts and turn them into beautiful, polished books, handling everything from printing to digital publication. Their hybrid approach means authors get their work out there faster without sacrificing quality. They use traditional distribution channels to make sure books end up where they'll be seen. Plus, they're all about keeping up the management and quality of both new and older titles for the lifetime of all books published under their imprint.
Marley wants Historium Press authors to be more than just writers; she wants them to be savvy about the whole publishing game, helping them become entrepreneurs, branded authors with a fan-base, and helping each author create a business around their novels.
