ABOUT US

Our Story

Skywater Publishing Cooperative brought independent writers, editors, artists, and marketers together with a shared vision of a special publishing experience. We strive to find the sweet spot between traditional, independent, and self publishing that may offer better flexibility, collaboration, and rewards on the back-end for all involved.

Our mission is simple.

Create a collaborative publisher with other writers, artists, editors, and marketers.

Apply our collective know-how to publish emerging and unpublished authors.

And reward our collaborators with a share of the profits on the back-end.

Created and run by artists, for artists

With a combined 70+ years of experience in book publishing, editing, and marketing, our tight-knit team of professionals took their shared passion for books to a more entrepreneurial level. We love exceptional writing and compelling stories and thought why not work together to make something of our natural skill-sets and offer something new to the world.

Here’s how we can help.
