ABOUT US

We are a passionate, ethical and purpose-driven independent publisher based in the picturesque County Durham, England.

​

As an ethical independent publisher, we are proud to champion voices that might otherwise go unheard. We offer a supportive platform for authors who want to publish with purpose, integrity and heart. Our focus is on collaboration, fairness and amplifying meaningful stories that make a difference.

​

Our journey is deeply rooted in a story of triumph over adversity. It began with a profound moment of reckoning when faced with the daunting reality of a cancer diagnosis. Fuelled by a desire to share stories that inspire and uplift, we embarked on a mission to self-publish books that resonate with readers worldwide.

​

Driven by a profound desire to turn adversity into opportunity, we embarked on a mission to fulfil a long-held dream. Inspired by the indomitable spirit of our founders, whose love for storytelling burned bright despite the shadows of illness, we set out to self-publish books that would not only captivate but also inspire.

​

In January 2023, Crear Publishing was born, a testament to the power of resilience and determination. With the release of our inaugural book, we took our first steps on a journey that would defy expectations and exceed imagination.

​​

One of our proudest achievements to date is the transformation of one of our books into a captivating BBC podcast, “Love Bombed with Vicky Pattinson”, with two TV documentaries in the pipeline. These endeavours not only showcase our dedication to storytelling but also provide a platform for voices that deserve to be heard.

Beyond our creative pursuits, we hold firm to our values of giving back to the community. Our journey is deeply intertwined with a spirit of generosity, as evidenced by our ongoing contributions to charitable causes. It’s a testament to the belief that every book sold carries the potential to make a difference in the world.

​

Beyond our creative pursuits, we hold firm to our values of integrity, kindness and giving back. Our journey is deeply intertwined with a spirit of generosity, as evidenced by our ongoing contributions to charitable causes. We believe that every book sold has the potential to create a positive impact.

​

Our reach now extends far beyond the UK, with our books finding homes in over nine countries and counting. But our mission is only just beginning. As we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to sharing stories that transcend borders, ignite the imagination and uplift the human spirit while standing beside the authors who bring them to life.

Mission

To guide and empower authors on their publishing journey.

Our mission is to support authors with integrity, creativity and care, offering personalised guidance on how to successfully self-publish their books. For those who prefer a more traditional route, we also offer the option to publish under the Crear Publishing imprint, always with clear, ethical and low-cost support. Whether an author chooses self-publishing or partnership publishing, we are here to ensure their story is brought to life professionally and purposefully.

Values

To be the trusted home for ethical, independent publishing support.

We envision a publishing world where authors are empowered to make informed choices, free from exploitation or vanity models. Our goal is to become a leading provider of honest, high-quality self-publishing guidance, while offering a transparent alternative for those who wish to publish with us. Through every book we help shape or publish, we aim to nurture literary talent, inspire readers, and support meaningful, lasting storytelling.

Vision

Integrity. Creativity. Compassion.

At Crear Publishing, we believe that every author deserves honest support, professional guidance and a fair path to publication, without inflated costs or empty promises. Too many writers are taken advantage of by unscrupulous people, which is why we are committed to offering a more ethical alternative.

​

Our core focus is helping authors self-publish successfully, providing step-by-step guidance with transparency and care. For those who would rather not manage the process themselves, we offer a low-cost publishing service under the Crear Publishing imprint, always grounded in trust and collaboration.

​

We uphold the highest standards of quality, working closely with authors to ensure their stories are published with pride. Our commitment to fairness extends beyond books, through charitable giving and a belief in the power of stories to uplift and connect.

​

We are here not to take control of your story, but to help you tell it your way.
