Discover the vision behind Staten House and how we're transforming the publishing landscape for authors everywhere.

Dear Authors,

Welcome to Staten House.

I founded this company because I saw something broken in publishing. Authors were trapped between traditional gatekeepers and confusing self-publishing platforms that lock you into expensive packages you don't need.

There had to be a better way.
