For authors with futures shining bright,

Nightshade will help bring your vision to light.

Our Nightshade package is designed for authors looking for full self-publishing support – they are the seeds waiting for the gentle hand of an experienced gardener to plant, nurture and grow them to be as bright as a literary sunflower.

Ideal for authors looking for individually curated support and guidance from start to end.

Note: Package costs are based on manuscripts of up to 80,000 words and include a 10-hour design allocation. Prices will be adjusted to reflect the length of the manuscript and scope of the work required.

Coven Press pays deep respects to the traditional custodians and original storytellers of the lands on which we live and work, the Wadawurrung and Dja Dja Wurrung people of the Kulin nation, and recognise their continuing connection to the lands, waterways and skies.

We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Coven Press is an LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, SW and differently abled community.

We respect and welcome all people.
