Skillful Pen Press - Clean Fiction for Clean Minds
LATEST NEWS
FROM THE PRESS!
Dear Reader and Writer, while writers can submit their work with our Christian indie publishing company, readers can imagine a world where bookshelves are filled with stories that fortify your heart rather than stain your mind.
We have applications open to join our team! We're looking for a new Marketing Director, Social Media Manager, Managing Editor, and Editor-in-Chief. Kate Evelyn is also stepping up as our head of graphic design. If you're interested in joining our team, visit the "join our team" page!
Every adoption story matters—and this book helps tell them. As we prepare to launch the third volume of The Chosen Collection, we’re gathering a team of readers who believe in the beauty of belonging and want to help these stories reach the families who need them most.
When you join the Street Team, you become part of the message: sharing hope, celebrating adoption, and helping spread the word about this powerful new anthology of real stories, short fiction, and poetry. If you love adoption, storytelling, or supporting faith‑rooted projects, we’d love to have you with us.

Dear Reader,
Imagine a world where bookshelves are filled with stories that fortify your heart instead of staining your mind.
How We Started
In the summer of 2023, a teenage girl was struck with an idea. She wanted to put together an anthology with stories by young writers.
Erin Hylands was sixteen at the time. She’d always wanted to use her writing to bring glory to God—and an anthology was an opportunity to do just that. Plus, she’d be able to partner with and support other young writers. What could go wrong?

“The journey of Skillful Pen Press has been… exciting, chaotic, stressful, amazing, and just a great experience. Being part of ‘behind the scenes' people is a joy and I can’t wait to see what else this company has to offer in the future!”

“I published for the first time in the Between the Lines poetry anthology with Skillful Pen Press. They were amazing at advertising our book with title reveals, cover reveals, and so much more! I really enjoyed publishing with them because as I was publishing for the first time I didn't know much about the process but they really explained it well and made the process really fun and easy. If you want to publish, use Skillful Pen Press!”
