Collaborative Anthology Books
Anthology Publishing Services
THE RAISE COLLABORATIVE ANTHOLOGY PROGRAM OFFERS MORE THAN ADDING A BOOK TO YOUR SHELF.
IT HELPS YOU. . .
RAISE VOICES.
RAISE VISIBILITY.
RAISE OPPORTUNITY.
With more than 20 years of publishing experience and more than 50 anthologies successfully produced, Davis Creative Publishing has become the trusted leader in collaborative anthology publishing.
Our RAISE™ Anthology Program is a professional publishing model designed to RAISE voices, RAISE visibility, and RAISE opportunity—creating meaningful value for both the sponsoring Compiler and every participating author. From concept and author recruitment through publishing, launch, and beyond, we provide the expertise and infrastructure to turn a shared vision into a professionally published book—and a powerful business asset.
The word ANTHOLOGY entered the English language in the 17th century from the Greek word ANTHOLOGIC, literally meaning “a collection of blossoms!” As an Anthology Sponsor, you get to blossom AND bring your own flowers to the table.
When you publish your own collaborative anthology, it’s much like planning your own private party! You get to establish the guest list and invite your party of contributing authors. As the Anthology Sponsor, you receive benefits valued over $40,000.
From contracts and invoicing to introducing your authors to our professional Writing Coaches to setting up online Meet & Greets and overseeing the timeline, a million details are involved with publishing an anthology. With THE RAISE Anthology program, we handle all of that for you.
In addition, YOU get to establish the theme, the title, and the sub-title (we help you with this part). You also have the option to write the introduction to the book along with your own free chapter, while the rest of the book is written by your invited, contributing authors.

ANTHOLOGY PORTFOLIO
THE BEST PART?
Our RAISE Anthology program makes professional publishing a collaborative experience.
Instead of one person carrying the full investment of producing an anthology, participating authors share the professional publishing costs with the Compiler.
FOR THE COMPILER
You can create and lead your own anthology without having to shoulder the entire cost of publishing the book yourself. You determine how you want to structure author participation and can build the anthology into your existing business, program, community, or revenue model.
FOR THE AUTHOR
You gain the opportunity to become a published author as part of a professionally produced anthology—sharing the investment with a group of like-minded authors rather than taking on the full cost and responsibility of producing an entire book on your own.
Everyone contributes. Everyone has a stake. Everyone has an opportunity to RAISE their voice, visibility, and professional platform.
That’s the power of collaborative publishing.
THAT’S THE POWER OF YOUR VOICE.
