Do you want to use your communication skills to help people share their stories with the world? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we want to hear from you!

BrightRay Publishing offers an all-inclusive publishing service, meaning we write, edit, publish, distribute, and publicize books for industry executives, academics, celebrities, and other interesting, accomplished individuals.
Our clients have books in their heads that they just can’t finish, either because they lack the skill or the time to write to do the work themselves. BrightRay’s team of professionals guides clients through every aspect of the writing and publishing processes from the initial outline through publication. By helping our clients become authors, we also empower them to build their brands, establish themselves as industry experts, and find exclusive opportunities that only a book can provide.
