Welcome to the nest
We don't just publish books. We help build authors.
Every manuscript begins with someone brave enough to put their ideas into words. At Wren Nest Publishing House, we believe that courage deserves to be met with care, expertise, and opportunity.
Our publishing house welcomes emerging and established writers across all genres. We help authors prepare their work for publication and explore the next steps in their literary journey—with personal attention and a respect for the voice behind every story.
Begin Your Journey“Your story matters. Your vision matters. And the journey should never feel like one you must walk alone.”
What we do
Real help for the book you've worked so hard to write.
Whether this is your first manuscript or your fifth book, you deserve to know exactly what your publishing team will do.
Give your book a professional look
We design your book cover and format the pages inside for the agreed print and digital editions, so your finished book is easy to read and professionally presented.
Prepare your book for publication
We explain publishing requirements, prepare the agreed files, and assist with submission to selected publishing platforms. You'll understand the steps before your book goes live.
Help readers get to know you
Depending on your package, we help write your author biography, prepare coordinated graphics, set up or refresh your author profiles, and build an author website.
Plan your book's introduction
For qualifying packages, we prepare launch announcements, promotional graphics, and a defined outreach plan. We can also help coordinate a book signing or release event.
Have someone you can talk to
You'll have scheduled consultations and clear points of contact during the services included in your agreement. We explain the work, answer your questions, and keep you informed.
All genres welcome — fiction, nonfiction, memoir, poetry, romance, faith, history, children's literature, and beyond.

Why are these starting prices?
A 30,000-word manuscript and a 100,000-word manuscript do not require the same amount of editing. We consider word count, manuscript condition, the type of editing needed, and production requirements when preparing your quote. Proofreading, copyediting, and in-depth developmental editing are different services; major rewriting is never assumed to be included.
Send us your first 15–20 pages for initial consideration. We may request additional manuscript details before preparing a firm proposal. You'll receive a written description of deliverables, allowances, revision rounds, timelines, and costs before agreeing to proceed.
Package prices and scope are preliminary. Website renewal after the first year, paid advertisements, event venues, photography, printing, travel, and third-party fees are specified or quoted separately. Publicity and sales results are not guaranteed.
