A women-owned, women-run publishing house that focuses on diversity and Canadian authors. 

Our mission is to ignite global imaginations through the power of diverse stories.

Rising Action Publishing distinguishes itself with an award-winning catalog. We celebrate diversity by amplifying LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, and BIPOC voices across various narratives as well as have a mandate of commitment to accessibility.

The book publishing market presents a dynamic opportunity for growth and innovation as evolving reader preferences allow Rising Action to leverage digital platforms and diverse content to meet the varied needs of a global audience.

Rising Action Publishing stands out in a competitive market by emphasizing multifaceted narratives and inclusivity, differentiating itself from major players like Anansi Press and Berkley.

Rising Action Publishing has demonstrated financial traction, with consistent revenue growth driven by bestsellers like We’re All Lying and a strong market response to upcoming titles, indicating a promising financial future.

Rising Action Publishing's business model capitalizes on diverse revenue streams, including a strategic distribution partnership with Simon & Schuster and a focus on e-books and audiobooks, catering to contemporary reading preferences and expanding market reach.

Rising Action Publishing's team, led by Alexandria Brown and Tina Beier, is a dynamic blend of creative and operational expertise, driving the company's innovative approach to diverse storytelling and market expansion.

We are looking for $350k in funds to gather a more robust inventory of books to allow for higher print runs and hire key staff so that we can scale.
