Everyone has a story to tell.

Too bad you and your soapbox give off an air that’s more hooligan than Hemingway.

Take your genius to the next level with some help from Twenty Stories Publishing. The new local publisher showcases work that might otherwise fall into the black hole of the corporate book world.

The staff works with everything from poetry to photography and can tailor services to accommodate the author’s needs. A la carte options include copyediting and a marketing plan. The full monty includes consulting, editing, design, printing, and distribution — with terms that would thrill a struggling artist.

In addition to accepting unsolicited manuscripts, Twenty Stories welcomes submissions for its anthologies (the first covered twentysomethings’ experiences).

So lather up that creative genius.
