Promoting Independent Publishers, Authors, and Artists

We’re on the lookout for independent peers to cross promote here at Iron Cross Publishing!

Independent publisher, authors, and artists all face a common challenge: exposure. When they are not publishing, writing, or drawing, they spend their time trying to get their work in front of receptive audiences, get an agent, get promoted, get seen! Nothing is worse for a creative individual trying to make it in this industry to have their work sit in an obscure corner of the internet and not be read, looked at, reviewed, and enjoyed.

Are you an author, independent publishing company, or artist that would like to have your work evaluated and posted here? Then send us a note and we’ll look at what you’ve got! We can post your story, post your artwork, and promote your work on social media. At a minimum, we’ll post a blurb and link to you site. Check out our Artist Highlight page, read a story from our Guest Author’s page, or visit our independent publisher peers on the Independent Press page!
