Black Rose Writing is an independent publishing house that believes in developing a personal relationship with our authors. We don't see them as clients or just another number on a page, but rather as people... who we are willing to do whatever it takes to make them satisfied with their publishing choice.
We are seeking growth in an array of different genres and searching for new publicity venues for our authors everyday. Black Rose Writing doesn't promise our authors the world, leading them to become overwhelmed by the competitive and difficult venture. We are honest with our authors, and we give them the insight to generate solid leads without wasting their time.
Black Rose Writing is able to promote, showcase, and produce your dedicated stories through the company itself and with our publishing/printing connections. We want to make your writing successes possible and eliminate the fear of a toilsome and lengthy experience.

TESTIMONIALS:
- "Thanks to Black Rose, my first novel is everything I wanted it to be. I absolutely love being a member of the Black Rose family!"
--Tracy A. Ball, author of Civil Warrriors
- "Publishing with Black Rose Writing has been a very positive experience. As a new, unagented author, I was wary of the possibility of associating myself with a less-than-reputable publisher or being taken advantage of. However, Reagan Rothe and the staff at Black Rose have been honest, professional, and helpful throughout this journey, from editing the manuscript to offering advice on post-publication publicity and helping plan for my next release. Black Rose never promised me the world; instead, they promised to be honest with me, to work hard on my behalf, and to help me grow as an author. I believe they have done all those things. I, too, have worked hard to promote my novel, but I have done so knowing that I have a partner in Black Rose every step of the way. I am now completing the manuscript for a sequel, and I am confident that Black Rose will work just as hard to make it a success as they did for my debut novel."
--Jennifer Webster, BRW bestselling author of Through A Glass Darkly
- "I have never published with Black Rose Writing, but I have had the pleasure of dealing with Reagan Rothe and his firm on several occasions. Integrity in the publishing business is a grand commodity, hard to find I can assure you. But not at Black Rose Writing. You will find it here merely as business as usual. I highly recommend Reagan and his people, to all new fantasy authors seeking a publisher. I have not found a better run, more fair or author-centered firm in all my dealings with the publishing industry. While they do not publish just any work sent to them, you will find no better firm for integrity, honesty and fair play. Trust me, I know."
--Paul H. Kogel, author of The Mage of Dylar and The Tale of Karryn
- "Black Rose Writing has exceeded my expectations with regard to publishing my work. Reagan Rothe worked with me to edit my first novel, provided opportunities for sales and promotion, and supported my own promotion events. He has kept all of his promises, contractual and otherwise. My next book is in the process of publication, and I couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend Black Rose Writing to others authors!"
--Frank L. Gertcher, author of Shaman on Wind Grass Hill and Wind Grass Hill and Other Poems
- "I love the book. The letters Black Rose Writing used for the chapters are amazing. It was like they pulled them out of my head. I AM OVER THE MOON!!!"
--Derek Pareja, author of Soul Phaser
- "Black Rose Writing has met my every expectation. It is difficult and sometimes painful for new writers to find a publisher who will listen to and consider an unpublished author. Seeing your name on a book and knowing others are looking at it is a wonderful feeling, and it doesn’t end there. Black Rose continues to provide updates and marketing advice to make the experience painless and rewarding. I could not be happier with the experience."
--William E. Terry, author of Book of Spells

- "Black Rose Writing knows how to increase sales, finding both new and old avenues to sell an authors' work. At the end of completion, in my own experience, I felt reassured that my work was edited professionally and was in good hands. Black Rose Writing identifies with the person's exact feel and needs about their own work. They will not persuade you to change, but give a guiding hand in each step along the way. If you have had to deal with the inside of a publishing company before, you will find the Black Rose Writing experience rewarding!"
--Jack Sorenson, author of Sword of Eibhlin: A Tale of Love not Lost
