About SmilingEagle Press

SmilingEagle Press was founded in 2006 with a commitment to publishing meaningful technical and non-fiction works. For over fifteen years, we built our reputation on helping authors translate complex ideas into accessible, impactful books.

In 2022, we expanded our vision. While honoring our roots in non-fiction, we began championing Native American writers and publishing Young Adult and Middle Grade fiction—stories that inspire young readers and carry messages that resonate long after the final page.

Our Mission

We believe every author deserves a true partner, not a bill. SmilingEagle Press never charges writers to publish. Instead, we offer our knowledge, guidance, and years of experience to help each author find their path. We publish books with purpose—works that inform, challenge, and connect readers to something larger than themselves.

Great stories change people. We're here to help those stories reach the world.

Smiling Eagle focuses today on Young Adult and Middle-Grade Chapter Books that can be adapted into TV/Streaming series, especially animated series. We do not charge you to publish your book. Questions? Just ask!
