The Franklin
Publishing Route

Guiding Authors Every Step of the Way

Franklin Publishers traces its roots back to 1963, when Joseph Franklin opened a small printing press on the outskirts of Brooklyn. Born into a family of pressmen, Joseph believed that well‑crafted books could change the world. From the beginning, Franklin’s name stood for freedom of thought, an independent spirit and respect for the written word. Those ideals still guide us today.

Journey Timeline

The Beginning — Submission

Every great journey begins with trust. When you submit your manuscript, it’s reviewed by our editorial team and assigned to a Franklin literary agent who will be your guide throughout the process. You’ll always know where your manuscript stands, what stage you’re in, and what comes next.

The Conversation — Review & Guidance

After the review, your agent will reach out to discuss your results. You’ll receive straightforward, professional guidance about your manuscript’s potential and how best to move forward. Our goal is to create understanding, not pressure — together, we decide when to take the next step.

The Path Forward — Publishing Readiness

The Process — Publication

Your manuscript enters the publishing phase, guided by Franklin’s editorial, design, and production teams. You remain in touch with your literary agent, who keeps you informed about progress, milestones, and release scheduling.

The Launch — Reaching Readers

When your book is ready for release, your agent and Franklin’s marketing team help position it for maximum visibility through our retail and library partnerships. We focus on presence, discoverability, and long-term readership — not just a single launch day.

The Continuation — Author Support
