About Lionheart Guild, Inc.
Inspired by Visionaries, Driven by Storytelling
Lionheart Guild is more than a publishing house—it’s a movement. Through our imprint, Lionheart Group Publishing, we champion books that inspire, empower, and endure. We focus on producing high-quality, beautifully designed works that capture the heart and soul of each author’s message.
But we don’t stop at publishing—we cultivate a thriving community of writers and artists through mentorship, workshops, and a future writers’ retreat in Wyoming. At Lionheart Guild, we’re not just publishing books—we’re shaping legacies and building a literary renaissance.

Through collaboration, support, and education, we aim to nurture voices from all walks of life, creating a sacred space where creativity knows no bounds and every story can make an impact.”

Inspired by Visionaries
At Lionheart Guild, we believe words hold power—the power to heal, to ignite change, and to build bridges between communities. Inspired by the bold legacies of Louise L. Hay and Elbert Hubbard, we are committed to fostering a literary space where creativity, resilience, and entrepreneurship thrive.
Louise L. Hay transformed lives through affirmations and self-empowerment, proving that words shape our reality. Elbert Hubbard, a trailblazing writer and publisher, championed artistic independence and craftsmanship. Their journeys remind us that literature is more than storytelling—it is a movement, a force that inspires generations.
A Movement for Storytellers. Through Lionheart Group Publishing, we elevate writers by providing ethical, sustainable publishing opportunities, ensuring fair royalties, and celebrating the art of storytelling. We are more than a publishing house—we are a guild where creatives can collaborate, learn, and grow together.
