Are you ready
to become a
published author?
You're in the right place!
YGTMedia Company is a boutique, blended publishing house serving purpose-driven humans in the pursuit of "birthing their brain babies" aka their books.
We specialize in narrative nonfiction, personal growth and development books, resources (journals, planners, affirmation cards), as well as adult and children’s empowerment books.
We believe that words can change the world, and we intend to do so one book at a time.
We are a full-service hybrid publishing house, not a self-publishing agency or vanity press. We support our authors through a collaborative and educational approach, that is creatively guided by the author.

THE WHY

Increased Credibility + Thought Leadership

Writing a book can be a very lonely journey, publishing a book, even lonelier. Our global community of like-minded souls will change that.
