Who we are

Welcome to StoryBloom Press, a creative studio dedicated to empowering artists, writers, and entrepreneurs with a passion for self-publishing. We provide an inspiring and supportive space for creatives to bring their stories to life, offering guidance and essential resources throughout the self-publishing journey.

Founded by Mercedes Cook, StoryBloom Press is deeply rooted in her appreciation for self-discovery and mental mindfulness. Mercedes' own transformative journey of embracing personal growth and resilience inspired her to create a platform where others can share their unique voices and visions. Through her work, she hopes to inspire others to pursue their dreams and explore their full creative potential.

Our debut project, The Screaming Apple: Embracing the Fall, is a keepsake journal series designed to promote self-compassion and resilience. The series is a testament to the power of reflection, empowerment, and healing—values that are at the heart of everything we do at StoryBloom Press. This journal not only embodies Mercedes' journey but also serves as an inspiring tool for those seeking their own paths to self-discovery.

At StoryBloom Press, we go beyond publishing. We are your creative partner, providing personalized guidance through every step of the self-publishing process. From refining your ideas and designing your book to navigating the publishing landscape, we are here to ensure your vision becomes a reality.

Our mission is simple: to inspire, empower, and equip creatives to tell their stories and make an impact. Whether you are an emerging author or an experienced entrepreneur, StoryBloom Press is here to help you blossom into the self-published creator you’ve always dreamed of being.

Let us help you turn your ideas into lasting works of art. Together, we’ll bring your stories to life.
