Wise Women, Writing
Rebeca Books publishes business, women's fiction, and romance written by and featuring women 40 and over.
We are a traditional, royalty-paying publishing house that elevates diverse voices of mature women and seeks to institute fair and just compensation for writers by providing them with - in addition to their generous royalties - a seat at the profit table.
Our writers pay for no portion of publishing, promotion, or distribution.
Rebeca Books is distributed to the trade by APG Sales and Distribution.

We believe in Women
This tendency in the U.S. to ignore women in both professional and personal life just as we enter our time of wisdom and maturity harms everyone.
In our professional life...
We see a world robbed of the powerful voices that accomplished businesswomen bring to elevate, heal, inspire, and lead. Over 12 million small businesses in the U.S. are owned by women, and they employ more than 10 million people. We need access to the collective wisdom borne of charting our own courses in a nation whose workplace only opened to us a generation(ish) ago.
In our personal life...
We see bookshelves overflowing with heroines who are finding themselves and their first loves, but only a scant few telling the tales of awakening, growth, and romance that happen later in life. You know the ones - they include previous relationships, existing children, women already strong in their careers, changed experiences in the bedroom, and a relationship dynamic impacted by the maturity gained in those years.
We believe in Writers
Writers are the backbone of cultural communication and change. With our words, we state what was, reveal what is, and inspire toward what can be. Women are keen observers and participants in all of these phases - especially women who have been on this planet for a hot minute.
We elevate the voices of those mature women and we don't mean "mature" as a euphemism for old. A woman can be 70 and immature (mm hmm, you probably just thought of one!). Here, we come alongside women who possess a wisdom that can help, heal, inspire, grow, educate, and lead the rest of us. We give those words the power of platform, quality packaging, and extensive distribution.
Because wise women writers are what this world needs.
