The Story Plant was founded in 2008 by two long-term industry professionals, Lou Aronica and Peter Miller. From the start, the company has been dedicated to publishing quality fiction and to developing authors. The Story Plant has an absolute dedication to its authors. Many of the principals of the company are novelists as well, and we understand the desires, needs, and insecurities of writers at the most personal level. We want The Story Plant to be a good home for those who write for us, and we want it to be a place where readers can be assured that everyone involved in bringing these books to them cares deeply about what they’re doing.

​

We are absolutely opposed to publishing any AI-created prose or using AI in the creation of our cover artwork. Authors are required to attest that their work is free of AI prose in our contract.

​​

We’re very interested in hearing from our readers. You can reach us at thestoryplant@thestoryplant.com.

​​

To submit a manuscript to The Story Plant, please query Lou Aronica at lou.aronica@thestoryplant.com. You can find our guidelines here. We are open to publishing previously published work, but only if we are also publishing original work from the author.

 

Please keep in mind that, right now, The Story Plant is only publishing fiction.
