Lorraine’s Publishing House was founded in honor of my late grandmother, Grace Lorraine. Built on the belief that every story deserves to be heard regardless of background or circumstance, Lorraine’s Publishing House exists to uplift and empower marginalized voices. As a Black Queer Woman raised in an underrepresented community, I understand the importance of having a platform to share our stories.
After publishing my books, I quickly realized how challenging it is to navigate the publishing world alone; I remember feeling completely lost. I didn’t know where to start.
I was searching for more than a service. I wanted someone to say, “I see you. Let me help you bring this to life.” That is why Lorraine’s Publishing House isn’t just a service—it’s a support system. I offer publishing, editing, and coaching all under one roof, with a mission rooted in care, guidance, and community first.
As a seasoned Print Production Specialist with over seven years of hands-on experience in the print and publishing industry, I’m proud to bring both visionary leadership and deep technical expertise to the table. This blend of creative vision and practical knowledge gives me a unique advantage when it comes to producing exceptional books. My technical background ensures that every book I produce meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. It’s my mission to offer clients a luxury experience that’s grounded in industry-standard production practices, resulting in books that are both literary and visual masterpieces.
Unlike larger publishers, Lorraine’s Publishing House is intentionally personal and community-driven, ensuring underrepresented voices are not just included but celebrated.
