“Write the best story that you can and write it as straight as you can," said Ernest Hemingway to his friend F. Scott Fitzgerald. How do we know that he said these words? Only the person who writes down the words, the Scribe, knows what was actually and accurately said.  

The dream of a writer is first to find the path to self-awareness, and then fame and possibly fortune.   It is not enough for the writer to write.  The writer wants to expose his or her words to the outside world and to publish these words to as many people as possible.

Publishers have a long tradition of bringing knowledge, intellectual freedom and pure joy to all parts of the world.  However, today many publishers are inspired more by profit, through editorial control, than wisdom and have hampered this tradition.

It is not enough for a writer to have control over the words if there is no control over distribution.  The ideal publisher is the one that steps in the shoes of the writer, walking the same pathway, inspiring creativity. Is there a publisher that extols the words that writer’s write and will stay out of the way when it comes to editorial control?  If so, it is like finding a needle in the haystack.  

The Internet is a haystack, and the needle is Ottawa-based AgoraPublishing.com. Agora Publishing is the writer’s publisher because a writer founded it. The writer’s publisher is the perfect match that inspires the best practices of both writing and publishing.
