It's Time to Tell Your Story
Welcome to the Author’s Learning Center — a space created to guide, inspire, and equip both new and experienced writers. Here you’ll find tools, tips, and timeless publishing knowledge designed to help you navigate the author journey with confidence. Whether you’re just starting your manuscript or preparing for publication, these resources are here to light the way.
We at Griot Publishing realize that our success depends on how well we serve our clients. We are pleased to provide a wide range of services to help you with your publishing needs.
One-on-One Author Support is a service we take great pride in. Many publishing companies offer support, but at Griot Publishing we go above and beyond when it comes to assisting our authors. We like to think of ourselves as the Midwives of Publishing.
Our goal is to give writers the prenatal care needed to prepare for publishing. Then, we help you birth your book into the world. But it doesn’t stop there — we also provide guidance on how to nurture your “baby” and share practical tips for marketing and promotion.
We will hold your hand through the process. Sometimes we receive calls from writers who are stuck on their projects and need to talk with us immediately. That is the type of dedicated service we have proudly offered our clients for many years.
🎯 Author’s Starter Toolkit
Every author needs the right tools before stepping into publishing. The Author’s Starter Toolkit was created to give you practical, print-ready worksheets that make the process easier. Inside you’ll find checklists and guides to help you prepare your manuscript, understand book identifiers like ISBN and LCCN, and polish your writing through self-editing.
These resources are designed to save you time, reduce stress, and make sure your book is truly ready to shine. Download them below and keep them handy as you move through your publishing journey with Griot Publishing.
Vintage Videos. Same Relevance
🎬 From the Archives: Lessons That Still Matter
These vintage videos were recorded more than 15 years ago in my bookstore, where I shared publishing advice with aspiring authors face-to-face. Though the setting has changed, the wisdom has not. The fundamentals of becoming an author, securing ISBNs, and understanding the publishing process remain the same today. Think of this section as stepping into my bookstore and revisiting the timeless guidance that continues to shape writers’ journeys.
