ABOUT OUTSPOKEN PUBLISHING
YOU KNOW YOUR STORY MATTERS.
WE DO TOO.
Most publishing houses want you polished, perfect, and packaged. We want you real, raw, and ready to tell the truth your truth.
Because someone, somewhere, is praying for the solutions you're holding onto.
OUTSPOKEN PUBLISHING HELPS YOU WRITE, FINISH, AND PUBLISH YOUR BOOK
WITH THE SUBCONSCIOUS WORK THAT ACTUALLY GETS YOU TO THE FINISH LINE.
We've published 5 books and worked with dozens of authors who have stories to tell. Stories about trauma, addiction, survival, and transformation. Messages that challenge the status quo. Truths people told them to "tone down."
WE WORK WITH STORIES OTHERS WONT
A client writing his book from jail. Authors still in the middle of their healing journey. People who've been told their story "isn't big enough" or "too much."
Your story is safe here.
"I wrote my book when my life was still in absolute chaos. And I'm so fucking grateful I did."
Marsha V. Founder, Podcaster, Best-Selling Author and Master NLP Coach
WE REFUSE TO SANITIZE YOUR STORY
We don't sanitize your voice.
Your story stays yours. Raw, real, and true.
We don't ask you to wait until you're "healed."
We help you write from a place of ownership—on the story, not in it.
We start with identity, not strategy.
Because if you're not ready to be the author, the book will never get finished—or shared.
Our goal?
Get more stories out into the world.
Because someone, somewhere, is praying for the solutions you're holding onto.
NO ONE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA FOR ME TO WRITE A BOOK
I wasn't supposed to write a book. I was the math geek. The science kid. The one who came from an era where we didn't talk about our difficult stories. But in 2016, I heard a voice telling me it was time to write my own book.
Nobody thought it was a good idea. I sat on it for six months while people told me I was crazy.
Then I said fuck it and wrote it anyway.
That book—When She Stopped Asking Why—became a 6x bestseller.
By day two, news media and TV shows were reaching out. And I panicked. Because even though I wrote the book, I wasn't subconsciously on board to be the author yet.
I did it with pure grit. I white-knuckled my way through. And I don't want you to do it that way.
That book became the foundation for everything I do today.
Seven books later (including leading collaborative books and contributing chapters), I've seen this process from every angle.
If I could do it all over again? I'd start with the subconscious work first—not the outline, not the chapter titles, not even the messy first draft. I'd reprogram the beliefs that kept me small so I could write from power instead of proving energy.
That's why OUTSPOKEN exists.
So you don't have to do it the hard way like I did.
