We're a team of experienced authors, marketers, and editors. Together, we've created a new world of publishing. Paperbacks are the past. Ebooks and audiobooks are the future - that's why we only sign ebook and audio editions to our publication. 

​

We are not a self-publishing service. We’re a hybrid publishing house, meshing the old with the new. 

 

How do we do it? 

It's all about marketing, and from experience, we’ve learned the best form of marketing is word of mouth – unless you have thousands to sink in advertising. Working closely with bloggers (who have become close friends) and influential readers (who have also become close friends) is our focus, as they're the ones who rave to everyone about what you've written – if it's good. That's another key thing about us and how we do it; we only accept submissions we feel extremely passionate about. If we reject your submission, that doesn't mean it was awful or boring. It simply means it doesn't fit GRAY PUBLISHING. 

​

What are we looking for?

Dark Romance, plus we want more authors to join the ever growing BLAIRE’S WORLD. We crave novels that put readers on the edge of their seats. We strive to evoke emotion, that's why your writing and storytelling must be masterful. 

​

The director of GRAY PUBLISHING, Anita Gray, An International Top 100 Amazon Best Seller, started out as an indie author in the Dark Romance Genre, marketing with zero budget. She knew, without hard cash to advertise her work, she needed ample bloggers backing her work. So, that's what she set out to do. Anita hit the publishing button in 2016 and spent months contacting every blogger she could find - whether they had 100 page likes on Facebook or 100,000, no blogger is too small. In fact, Anita believes the smaller bloggers are better as they spend more time promoting authors and novels they love, telling everyone who matters - the readers. Secondly, you need the support of like-minded authors. Creating friendships and business relationships in this field is as important as writing. You can write the best book in the world, but that doesn't matter if readers and bloggers don't know it exists.

As you can probably guess, a social media presence is vital. If you're not prepared to work hard by creating relationships within the online book industry, then we are not for you. If you're prepared to write hard and work even harder, then check out our submission guidelines.
