Publish Without Burning Out:
A Small Press Launch System for Authors Who Want a Real Career (Not a Meltdown)
A humane, repeatable way to launch books—without sacrificing your health, creativity, or life.
Publishing a book shouldn’t feel like a slow-motion collapse.
And yet—for authors and small presses alike—it often does. Launch plans spiral. Marketing feels endless. Outreach turns into self-doubt. Everyone is overworked, underpaid, and expected to somehow do more.
Publish Without Burning Out exists because that model is broken.
This system offers a realistic, ethical alternative: a clear, sustainable launch framework designed for people who actually make independent publishing happen.
The Small Press Publishing Collective
A membership community redefining what publishing can be. Free. Transparent. Collective.
The Small Press Publishing Collective is a free membership community created by Unsolicited Press to support writers, editors, and independent press-builders who believe that publishing should be transparent, ethical, and accessible.
Our mission is simple:
to teach the publishing world as it really is, not as the industry benefits from portraying it.
We are here to dismantle gatekeeping, redistribute knowledge, empower literary workers, and build sustainable, people-centered publishing ecosystems.
