LILY & FOSTER
Inspiring the Next Generation of Storytellers
After the success of her debut novel, Mel Foster, founded Lily & Foster Publishing with a simple mission: to make the publishing process more accessible and personal for aspiring authors. Driven by her own experience navigating the world of publishing, Mel wanted to create a space where new voices and innovative stories could thrive.
And her mother, Lily, was all for it.
Lily & Foster Publishing offers a hands-on, supportive experience for authors, providing expert editorial guidance, professional design, and seamless production and distribution—all under one roof. Their vision is to give authors the attention and care they deserve at every step of their journey, from manuscript submission to the final published work.
With a commitment to discovering hidden talent, Lily & Foster will be accepting unsolicited manuscripts, giving emerging authors the chance to be heard. As a small, family-owned company based in New York City, they are dedicated to empowering writers and helping them share their stories.
What sets Lily & Foster apart from other publishing houses is their unique option for authors to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), providing an added layer of security and trust for those wishing to protect their creative ideas and intellectual property. In the future, Lily & Foster plan to expand globally, seeking out voices from all corners of the globe, and offering opportunities for those whose stories might otherwise go untold.
