Who We Work With
Not Everyone
Knows How to
Write It Yet.
We know that everyone has a story — but bringing that story to life takes guidance, courage, and the right team beside you. That is exactly what Cocoon to Wings Publishing offers.
- New or existing adult or children's book writers seeking direction
- Anointed Christian fiction, nonfiction, or children's book writers gifted by the Holy Spirit to write
- Those with a burning desire to share their story with the world
- Authors who need a trusted partner — not just a publisher

We bring fresh eyes and imaginative thinking to every story we help birth.
We treat your project as if it were our own — with that same deep care.
