Cottage House Publishing & Author Services
An indie publishing house based in Lakeland, FL.
A passion for storytelling…
Cottage House Publishing is a company founded by two English teachers with a passion for good storytelling – whatever those stories might be!
Celebrating Local & Small Writers
Central Florida is a growing hub of talented artists and writers. We want to showcase them!
We also want to give a platform to previously unpublished or limited published authors.
Small Business Benefits
Because we remain a small business, authors get personalized attention. We want to help authors personally and promote them actively.
Clean Content
Our goal is to publish content that is age-appropriate and enjoyable to read without worrying about content!
Creative Control
Some authors want to pursue traditional publishing but fear losing creative control – we leave the control in your hands! We help edit and promote, but the control of the work is yours!
Author Professional Services
We offer in-house editing, design, and marketing resources for purchase individually for authors who do not want extensive publishing services. These options include packages as well as a la carte services.
College Essay Support
Because Cottage House was founded by teachers, we are passionate about college admissions essays! We offer services to help students write and revise their college admissions essays so that they are confident when applying.
