Submission Guidelines

OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Little Treasure Books, we strongly believe in the creativity and genuine talent of many writers whose voices would go unheard if it were not for the independent publisher. Twelve years ago, the company’s owner took a leap of faith, along with the economic risks necessary, to introduce new authors to those readers looking for books that offer hope, encouragement, and inspiration. We sincerely accept this responsibility, and remain dedicated and determined to give these gifted writers the opportunity to have their stories told.

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to publish books of integrity that speak to the hearts, minds, and souls of our readers . . . gently putting them in touch with their inner core, ultimately offering them a place of solace. . . a place where they can be who they are and at peace wherever they are along life’s journey.

OUR GOAL
It is our objective to remain selective in choosing the books we publish. In doing so, Little Treasure vows to uphold the highest of standards and produce only those books that will inspire, enrich, and leave readers with a positive message.
