McCourt Manor Publishing was designed for readers, by readers. Founded by author Ashley McCourt, McCourt Manor's mission is to work with a diverse group of writers to bring unique works into the literary world. Ashley understands the journey of traditional publication, and wanted to develop something with the same values, but none of the gatekeeping. She believes that the publishing industry has become too limited, and rarely takes risks on new writers. So, she created McCourt Manor Publishing to take that leap.
