Still Waters Prose Publishing is an independent publishing house focused on elevating powerful, purpose-driven literature.
Still Waters Prose Publishing exists to amplify voices that the mainstream publishing industry has historically silenced, marginalized, or ignored. We are committed to publishing work that challenges systems of oppression, centers lived experience, and contributes to social transformation.
We believe that storytelling is a powerful tool for social change. The narratives we publish don’t just inform—they challenge, provoke, and inspire action. Our catalog reflects our commitment to justice, equity, and the belief that every voice deserves to be heard.
