WHY WORK WITH US?

Real People

We are real people. When you work with Smart Publishing, you work directly with owners, Renee and Jonathan Lautermilch. We don't send you off to a random project manager only to never hear from us again. We're also bestselling authors ourselves so we know exactly what it's like to write and publish a book on a busy schedule.

High-Tough

Service

We know our authors are busy, so we uniquely combine editing with ghostwriting. All you have to do is get your ideas out. We’ll make the end product sing without ever sending your manuscript back with “actionable comments”.

We guarantee you'll hit #1 in Amazon's best seller rankings on your release date. We’ve done it time and time again and intimately understand the process.

Minimal Effort


We work with you on a time management strategy that works for your schedule. You can write or record for transcription for just 1-2 hours a week. When you combine that with our editing meets ghostwriting approach, we can complete your full-length book in 6 months or less.

NEW AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT

Carter Check

Carter Check is the founder of HunTherapy, a program dedicated to helping veterans heal through outdoor recreation therapy. A former 19D Cavalry Scout in the U.S. Army, Carter has firsthand experience with the challenges of reintegration after military service, including coping with moral injuries and personal loss. His journey to healing began in childhood, where he discovered the therapeutic power of nature, sports, and physical activity.

Throughout his life, Carter has found solace and strength in activities like cycling, team sports, fitness, golf, and big game archery hunting. These outlets not only provided an escape but also gave him a sense of purpose and connection. Driven by a deep passion for supporting others on their healing journeys, he founded HunTherapy to bring the transformative power of outdoor recreation to struggling veterans.

Through his writing, Carter shares his experiences, insights, and the lessons he has learned about resilience, purpose, and the path to recovery. His work serves as both a guide and a source of inspiration for those seeking to find meaning in the face of trauma.
