FOREST CITY PUBLICATIONS

Forest City Publications was founded by Lara Helmling in 2019 after she realized that even the best publishing options lacked the 1-1 mentoring that the vast majority of authors need to be successful. In her view, simply getting a book in print isn't enough: the message of that book needs to reach the people who need it most. That takes consistent, informed strategies and direction before, during, and after publishing. She wanted to create a publishing company that was FOR authors BY authors. From this vision, Forest City Publications was born... Forest City Publications is unique in the publishing world in that we offer authors a variety of publishing options. From hybrid publishing to guided self-publishing, we pride ourselves on being author-centered, helping authors make the best choices for their book and guiding them through the ever-changing publishing landscape. We are owned and operated by neurodiverse people, and we are driven by our belief in the power of the written word..
