2012 Interview - for updates on books we offer and events we are participating in, please continue browsing our site.
Riverhaven is setting out to redefine publishing. While we are not conventional, in that our authors pay for our services, we are also not a vanity press; not every work meets the standards of Riverhaven Books, and only those that do are invited to have the Riverhaven imprint. Because we are a small and newer company, writers maintain control over the number of books printed and are responsible for that payment. In turn, Riverhaven does not take any of the profits from the sale of those books, and all books are available through our online store, as well as Kindle and Amazon should the author choose. It's a mutually beneficial relationship. And we look forward to working with you. Hands-on is the philosophy of Riverhaven. Our attention to detail, while maintaining affordability, is what sets us apart.
Stephanie graduated from Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, MA, with a double major in English and Secondary Education and then received her MEd. from Cambridge College. She taught at both the junior high and high school level for several years. Now she balances teaching and publishing with marriage and raising her two boys, ages six and ten.
"I live a well-rounded life doing what I love. I spend time with my family, teach literature and writing, and get to read fantastic books and interact with wonderful authors. I look forward to watching Riverhaven Books continue to grow." ~Stephanie
