PECAN TREE PUBLISHING, an Emily C. Freeman Holdings, LLC entity, is a publishing house going against the grain. Our authors are more than writers, they are investors in a company that invests in them and their literary vision. Expounding on the popular and successful self-publishing industry, PECAN TREE PUBLISHING marries self-publishing services and traditional publishing amenities which means expanded marketing services and more publishers hands-on involvement.
The company’s mission is to break the molds of traditional Christian publishing and mainstream publishing and instead combine elements in each genre for ultimate success.
PECAN TREE PUBLISHING, like the Pecan Tree, has strong roots and majestically reaches upward. When shaken, from these leaves will fall insightful, challenging, knowledge-strengthening and life edifying titles in fiction and non-fiction. Our catalog features: mainstream fiction and non-fiction, health, children's books, cookbooks, African-American fiction, Christian fiction, Christian fiction, general romance, suspense/ mystery and inspirational living.
PECAN TREE PUBLISHING is also the producer of PARABLES MAGAZINE, a bi-monthly journal of short Christian fiction, inspirational essays and devotionals; and SPIRIT RISING MAGAZINE, a bi-monthly thematic Christian publication exploring one topic from multiple angles for comprehension and practical applicability and BELOVED MAGAZINE, a bi-monthly publication exploring love and various relationships from a Christ perspective.
While PECAN TREE PUBLISHING publishes Christian and non-Christian titles, non-Christian selections must present high literary quality and must display an element of inspiration, overcoming and/or positive change.
