About
Our Mission
At V13 Press, our mission is simple yet ambitious: to elevate every writer’s voice with authenticity, grit, and creativity. We believe in publishing that transcends boundaries—mainstream and underground alike—to create works that resonate deeply, challenge convention, and endure.
Our Vision
We envision a world where authors aren’t just published—they’re empowered. By merging refined publishing expertise with a fierce passion for bold storytelling, V13 Press is committed to building a diverse, resilient community of writers whose words will stand the test of time. We’re here to provide the tools, guidance, and inspiration every writer needs to achieve their fullest potential and make their mark.
Who We Are
V13 Press is more than a publishing house. We’re a hub for writers who have stories to tell and dreams to realize, offering a full range of services that take a writer’s journey from manuscript to publication—and beyond. We’ve shaped our approach by blending the best of traditional publishing with innovative, artist-centered practices that value the creator as much as the creation.
What We Stand For
We stand for artistic integrity, creative resilience, and the courage to tell stories that matter. We champion voices that are daring, authentic, and unapologetic, regardless of genre or background. And we stand against the outdated systems that undervalue authors, homogenize creativity, or prioritize profit over purpose.
With us, it’s about more than just getting your work into the world. It’s about making sure it’s seen, heard, and felt. We support our authors every step of the way, offering them not only the resources to refine their craft but also the marketing muscle to make an impact. In short, we’re redefining publishing for writers who are ready to break molds.
What We Do
Our services reflect our commitment to both craft and reach:
- Editorial Mastery: From manuscript assessments to in-depth edits, we bring an expert eye to your work to ensure it’s polished to perfection.
- Publishing Pathways: Whether you’re seeking traditional or alternative routes, we offer guidance that aligns with your goals and values.
- Publicity & Marketing: A book deserves to be heard. Our marketing strategies amplify your story across channels, ensuring it reaches readers who connect with it.
- Author Branding: In a crowded field, distinction is everything. We help authors cultivate a unique brand that resonates, endures, and connects authentically with audiences.
- Community & Support: Through our Verse & Vision literary journal and network, we’re fostering a community that thrives on connection and mutual growth.
How We’re Doing Things Differently
We’re not your typical publishing press—and we don’t plan to be. V13 Press straddles the line between the formal and the unconventional, operating where the elegance of literary tradition meets the raw energy of the underground. Our authors are trailblazers, boundary-breakers, and creatives who wear both the tuxedo and the tattoos.
Unlike the standard industry model, we’re focused on building genuine partnerships. Each writer we work with becomes part of the V13 family, or V1LLAG3, receiving the kind of personalized guidance, publicity, and support that most publishers can’t or won’t provide. We believe in transparency, fair compensation, and creative freedom—our authors don’t just fit in; they stand out.
