Hens House Publishing

About Us

Hen’s House Publishing was founded by author and independent publisher Stephany Simmons.

Stephany began her publishing journey in 2011, learning firsthand how overwhelming, confusing, and deeply rewarding the path to publication can be. Over the years, she navigated self-publishing, small presses, distribution platforms, editing workflows, cover design processes, and the realities of promoting books in a changing digital landscape.

Through that work, one truth became clear: every writer deserves clarity, confidence, and support, no matter which publishing path they choose.

Hen’s House Publishing grew from that belief.

Stephany is committed to helping authors:

  • find the publishing approach that fits their goals, not someone else’s,

  • understand the industry in plain language, and

  • bring their work into the world with craftsmanship and care.

Whether a writer chooses self-publishing or seeks a traditional publishing partnership, Hen’s House offers editorial guidance, professional resources, and a collaborative, author-first approach grounded in eleven-plus years of real experience in the field.

For Stephany, every book is more than a product, it’s a voice. A story. A piece of someone’s life.
And every voice deserves a chance to be heard.
