Our Self-Publishing Journey

Elizabeth’s Writing Corner initially began as we diligently researched and learned what it meant to self-publish and applied the process to our own books. From there, we knew we could bring our practical expertise to others who would need it most. Today, we use our own imprint to release new books that we write ourselves while encouraging both new and repeat authors along the specific publishing journey that is right for them.

Book Reviews

One Man’s Journey
Outstanding Creator Awards

One Man's Journey by Donald T. Hardison II is the most spirited, powerful, and emotionally-charged memoir we've read so far this year! The book chronicles the deeply personal and transformative journey of the author. It explores themes of family, faith, resilience, and redemption. Through anecdotes and reflective storytelling, the narrative follows Hardison's upbringing, challenges with family dynamics, experiences with profound loss, moments of spiritual awakening, and his relentless pursuit of truth and integrity. Each chapter delves into significant milestones in the author's life, framed around trials, tragedies, and moments of triumph… Although this is titled One Man's Journey, this is really a universal story. It's a story that can speak to every soul—everyone who has struggled with secrets, bad habits, and addictions; everyone who has wrestled with their faith; everyone who has seen a loved one's health (or mental health) deteriorate before their eyes; everyone who has lost a loved one; everyone who has wondered where is God in all of this?”

Adventures Are Everywhere
Author's Reading

"Elizabeth Horst's collection of short stories transport readers to different times and places, each with its own unique charm and depth. Some stories delve into the rugged life of the Wild West, capturing the harsh yet alluring landscapes and the resilient characters who inhabit them. Others take readers back to the days of yore, offering a nostalgic glimpse into a bygone era, while a few are set in the modern day, exploring contemporary themes with a fresh and relatable perspective. ... What truly sets Horst's stories apart is her masterful use of dialogue. The conversations between her characters are replete with the idioms and speech patterns of the time periods in which the stories unfold, lending a sense of authenticity that makes the characters feel alive. Her vivid descriptions are equally remarkable, painting rustic settings so vividly that you can almost feel the dust of the Wild West under your boots or hear the faint hum of life in a quiet small-town backdrop during her gripping tales of attempted robbery."

A Break In The Silence
Literary Titan

“Reading this book felt like sitting across from a man who’s trying to keep his voice from cracking while telling the most painful parts of his life. The writing is raw, emotional, and real. And in many ways, that’s what makes it powerful. The narrative sometimes meanders, but that wandering mirrors the emotional confusion and messiness of a father trying to understand what went wrong. There’s a sincerity in Hardison’s voice that made me stop and reflect on my own assumptions about broken families. His repeated emphasis on prayer, accountability, and forgiveness felt deeply personal rather than preachy… I would recommend A Break in the Silence to anyone grappling with family estrangement, particularly parents who feel silenced or shut out. It’s also a meaningful read for those interested in the long-term emotional effects of divorce and custody battles. If you’re someone who appreciates honesty over elegance and you find value in hearing stories of perseverance through faith, then this book will speak to you.”
