Your book will change
the world.
We’ll help you write it.
You know your story is powerful,
but you don’t know how to write it
(or edit it… or design it… or publish it).
We love powerful stories, and we’ve got decades of experience transforming them into world-changing books.
Sounds like a match made in heaven!
Lots of stories, actually.
Amanda Nell Edgar always loved telling stories. As a kid, she scrawled them in books of wallpaper samples that her grandmother scavenged from home supply stores. After college, she took to the stage, telling stories to rural children as part of a grant-funded theatre program. Finally, she became a social movement historian, documenting the stories behind groups like Black Lives Matter.
The stories of ordinary people who overcame the odds
The stories of leaders who spoke out against injustice, no matter the cost
The stories of communities who built something beautiful from the ashes of trauma
These stories weren’t just interesting.
As a social movement historian, Amanda published dozens of stories in academic journals and books, but always under her own name.
Then, a community leader reached out for help. He knew his story was powerful. He knew it could help people if it were told the right way.
He wanted to write a book. But he just wasn’t a writer.
She was.
Amanda knew how to draw out people’s most vulnerable stories—
she’d been doing it for years.
She knew how to write an engaging narrative—
she’d won numerous awards for her books and articles.
Most importantly, she knew what it meant to fight for social change. She’d spent countless afternoons in the sun, rain, and snow holding signs, leading chants, and bearing witness to injustice.
When that first leader held his memoir in his hands, Amanda finally understood her purpose. If she could help visionary leaders—like you—tell their stories, she could change the world one reader at a time.
So she founded a new kind of publishing company—
one that helps leaders like you leverage the
world-changing power of books.
That company is Page & Podium Press.
