Our Story

About the Flock

We believe in the power of the unique voice, the untold story, and the uncharted journey.

Who We Are

Independent Publisher for Rebels, Dreamers & Storytellers

Black Sheep Library is an independent publishing house based in Maple Valley, Washington. We were founded on a simple belief: every story deserves to be told, especially the ones that do not fit neatly into a box.

We specialize in memoirs, true crime, fiction, wellness journals, and stories born from DNA discovery and family secrets. Our authors are the brave ones — the people who dare to share what others keep hidden.

From manuscript to marketplace, we walk alongside our authors every step of the way. We offer both traditional and hybrid publishing, professional editing, beautiful book design, and national distribution.

Our Mission

To amplify unique voices and bring untold stories to the world. We exist to champion the bold, the vulnerable, and the unapologetically authentic.

From Manuscript to Marketplace

Professional Editing

Every manuscript receives meticulous editorial attention, from developmental editing through final proofreading, ensuring your story shines while preserving your authentic voice.

Book Design & Layout

From cover art to interior typesetting, we craft books that are beautiful inside and out. Your book deserves to look as compelling as the story it tells.

Marketing & Distribution

We help your book reach readers through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, major e-book vendors, and local bookstores across the country.
