Erin Go Bragh Publishing was founded to support authors and help them succeed. We aim to provide credibility to every book published under our name. With experienced, business-minded professionals backing each project, we ensure quality and professionalism.
In the self-publishing world, many books aren’t properly edited, critiqued, or formatted. This leaves readers cautious about purchasing books that lack a polished appearance. The stigma around “Indie authors” or “self-published” books only adds to this doubt. Our goal is to change that.
When a book is published by Erin Go Bragh Publishing, readers can trust that it has been thoroughly vetted and professionally edited. Both the author and reader can be confident that the book is worth the investment.
Small Press Book Publisher in Texas – Erin Go Bragh Publishing
Kathleen J. Shields founded Erin Go Bragh Publishing after deciding to create a children’s book series. When traditional publishers told her they were shifting focus to e-books, Kathleen turned to self-publishing. However, she noticed that self-publishing was often seen as “not good enough.” She knew her books deserved more.
Additionally, most self-publishing services only offered paperback formats. Kathleen knew she needed hardcover editions for children’s books. Hardbacks are durable and often required for library shelves. Plus, they allow the title to stand out with visible spines.
Kathleen had also experienced challenges with vanity publishers. She wanted to maintain full creative control over the illustrations, designs, and pricing.
To make her vision a reality, Kathleen immersed herself in learning the publishing industry. Erin Go Bragh Publishing is a hybrid publisher, blending the best of both traditional and self-publishing worlds.
Kathleen J. Shields, Author Publisher, Designer
Kathleen has successfully published dozens of award-winning books in various formats, including hardbacks, paperbacks, e-books, and audiobooks. She handles everything herself—interior graphics, book covers, marketing, and promotion.
Running Erin Go Bragh Publishing is a second business for Kathleen. She also operates a website and graphic design company, where she taught herself Photoshop, Corel, and video creation. This skill set makes her an invaluable asset to new authors who need websites, social media presence, business cards, bookmarks, banners, book trailers, and more.
