Let's turn it into a published book.
Since 2005, Next Level Publishing has helped hundreds of authors, entertainers, faith leaders, entrepreneurs, life coaches, celebrities, and storytellers turn what they've been carrying into books the world can hold.
Two decades of author-first publishing. You Keep Your Rights AND 100% of Your Royalties.

I started Next Level Publishing in 2005 because the publishing industry had a problem: too many important stories were being turned away for the wrong reasons.
I believed then, and I still believe now, that great stories are not defined by who's telling them or how well-connected they are. They're defined by whether they need to be heard.
For twenty years, we've built this company around that belief. We've helped hundreds of authors, entertainers, faith leaders, entrepreneurs, coaches, and everyday people with extraordinary stories turn their words into published books. National distribution. International reach. Real books on real shelves.
And here's my personal commitment to you: when you work with Next Level Publishing, you get my team's full attention, our full craft, and our full respect for your story. You keep your rights. You keep 100% of your royalties. You keep your voice. You keep your vision. We're here to serve what you're building - not to take it from you.
If you've been carrying a story, we'd like to hear it. Let's talk.

Founder & CEO, Next Level Publishing
From memoirs and manuscripts to graphic novels and tell-alls, here are just a few of the books we've helped bring to life.
Christian Wulff
The memoir of the former President of the Federal Republic of Germany, from his rise to the nation's highest office to the political storm that brought him down. A rare and candid look inside power, the media, and the personal cost of public life.
Cynthia Loving
The ultimate backstage pass into the provocative life of R&B star Lil' Mo. Part memoir, part tell-all, Cynthia Loving takes readers on an intense ride through her rise to stardom, work with mega stars like Whitney Houston, Missy Elliott, Ja Rule, Fabolous, and Jay-Z, and the wild relationships, lies, religion, and family behind it all.
Dr. Na'Shayla Nelson
From navigating the high-stakes world of law enforcement to battling a life-altering cancer diagnosis, Chief of Police, military veteran, and Ph.D. holder Dr. Na'Shayla Nelson shares her blueprint for adaptation, perseverance, and resilience. More than a memoir, a playbook for anyone facing reinvention.
Kevin Lee (with DaShawn Taylor)
The wild, three-decade journey of magician and comedian Kevin Lee, from the same Palmer Park, Maryland neighborhood that produced Sugar Ray Leonard to stages featured on NBC's Last Comic Standing, BET's Comic View, and HBO's Def Comedy Jam. Emotional, authentic, and captivating.
Mr. Ish
When thirty-year-old Adonis Davis is betrayed by his childhood best friend, his little sister Chaz becomes the target of a nationwide manhunt. As long-buried secrets from fifteen years ago resurface, the truth turns grittier than anyone could have imagined.
Dr. Allison Smith
A practical handbook for new and aspiring leaders who've been placed in leadership roles without formal training. Drawing on more than 30 years of leadership experience, retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major Dr. Allison Smith helps readers lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose from day one.
K.N. Jackson
Long Island's golden girl Jenna Lace seems to have it all, a career at a prestigious fashion house, a love life aligned like a perfect seam. Then one devastating moment unravels everything, and she's forced to confront her deepest fears about love, loss, and what it truly means to rebuild.
Mel Gopal
Four disabled but extraordinary kids, Katie, Adam, Damien, and Davy, discover supernatural powers they use to fight the dangers of drugs and alcohol in their community. A dazzling graphic-novel adventure about friendship, hope, and using extraordinary gifts for good.
Kyle Newsome
A groundbreaking leadership guide that challenges the outdated, control-based systems still shaping schools, homes, and youth programs. Drawing from 25+ years in education and youth development, Kyle Newsome shows why influence and consistency, not control, drive lasting change.
Kyle Arrington
"Individually you can go fast, but together, we can go far." A vibrant children's book that celebrates teamwork, togetherness, and unity, reminding young readers that we build a better tomorrow when we build it together.
