I had a call with an author yesterday to discuss possible publication, and it’s those conversations that give me a sense of purpose behind creating Conquest.

I find it so funny how potential authors are blown away that I edit my authors' work for things that are not Conquest specific. Awards, self-publishing submissions, queries for agents, all of the above.
To me, it's a no-brainer...
Does that make me the odd publisher out? 🧐

Whoever would have thought 10 months ago I would be having Zoom calls discussing European and Southeast Asian distribution channels for authors. Definitely not some small town girl from Arkansas who just wanted to see stories out in the world that moved people.

Sometimes I wonder if I am doing the right thing by being in this industry... and then I have an author make me cry tears of pride.
So, I tell myself to suck it up and keep going. If not for me... always for them. 🥲

With SOOOO many phenomenal artists and designers out there who have a passion to create art, I just don’t understand. I get that stock photos are used at times and massaged, but even as a small press we have a validation process to vet authenticity. Come on guys. Do better.
They’re deconstructing this on TikTok and I’m curious what you think.
