Imprints:

The Five Star Special Edition imprint is reserved for authors who commit to proofreading or editing and one of ALP’s professional marketing packages. All other premier publishing authors may select the standard American Literary Press imprint or another genre-specific imprint.

This imprint is designed for autobiographies, family histories, personal memoirs, or any book that describes, records and honors lives, experiences and relationships. These books often celebrate joys and treasured memories, and pass down valuable, hard-earned lessons to future generations.

The Quest imprint was created for books of a spiritual or religious nature. Many such books deal with the search for truth or enlightenment, often over many years, and the Quest imprint helps capture our authors’ illumination.

Because the children’s book market is so specialized and competetive, ALP has created the Shooting Star Edition. Authors who wish to distinguish their books as being specifically written for the juvenile market often opt for this imprint.

"You stood by me from start to finish, and that means more to me than the book in a form of speaking! With the thanks I give you . . . I consider you a true long-distance friend, and will always be!"
