Ever After Press

Where heartbreaks become hardcovers.

And your truth gets the final word.


We’re not a traditional publisher — we’re a creative studio for truth-tellers and storytellers ready to turn lived experience into lasting legacy.

We don’t just say “we’ll publish your book.”
We say “we’ll help you become the kind of author who finishes the book — and knows what to do with it.”

Founded by Dr. Courtney Evans, bestselling author of Uncaged and the upcoming book Like My Mother Was, Ever After Press guides writers through the full arc of authorship: writing, editing, and publishing with integrity and intention.

Here, writing is reclamation. Editing is art. Publishing is legacy.

 

  • 1:1 Writing Mentorship & Story Development

    This is where we unearth the truth behind the story you’ve been afraid to tell.
    Together, we’ll turn the chaos into clarity — mapping your structure, developing your voice, and building the writing habits that bring your manuscript to life.

    • Story excavation sessions

    • Voice + tone shaping

    • Chapter-by-chapter roadmap

    • Accountability and deadlines

    Because every story — and every manuscript — is different, pricing for editorial packages varies based on word count and scope. Once I’ve reviewed your pages, I’ll provide a custom quote and timeline tailored to your project.
