Inspired by the first book printed in America (Bay Psalm Book, 1640), books published by relatives, writings of Kyrgyz authors, manuscripts awaiting a New York publisher, clippings stashed by elders, finds in the New York Public Library, and aspects of sovereignty, Sovereign Publishing focuses on several categories of books:

• Baatyr series of Kyrgyz authors

• Legacy series of family histories

• New York series of large manuscripts

• Prodigy series of young authors

• Sovereign series of biblical themes

• Testimony series of personal stories

• Wisdom series of educational works

The dream of an author is to write and refine a text to excellence and to share it well with others. Is yours a new dream, a dream in progress, or a dream held in trust for someone else? Our mission:

• To be a New York City service gateway for digitally printed books

• To affirm and assist personally each author whose books we publish

• To provide an accessible range of services and options for authors

• To offer individual book designs or participation in series formats

• To publish paper-and-ink books of classic value and impact
