Creating Safe
Places for
your Stories

5 Two Press is a publishing guidance and support brand built for authors who want professional help without giving up ownership of their work. We believe every story deserves to be approached with care, curiosity, and respect—and that authors should understand the publishing decisions being made along the way.

As an Author Guide and Publishing Partner, Sharissa Bradley helps independent authors navigate the path from manuscript to publication with greater clarity and confidence. Through strategic guidance, publishing education, resources, and one-on-one support, authors remain in control of their rights, files, publishing accounts, royalties, and creative future.

5 Two Press is a brand of 5 Two Productions, LLC.

YOUR BOOK SHOULD BELONG TO YOU.

Publishing independently doesn't have to mean figuring everything out independently.

5 Two Press helps authors understand their options, make informed publishing decisions, and build a path forward that fits their book and their goals. You can receive experienced guidance and strategic support while maintaining ownership of your work, your publishing accounts, your royalties, and your creative future.

Whether you need help with one specific publishing decision or want a broader roadmap from where you are now to publication, there is a way to work together.

Creative Writing Community

Come write with us.

Once a month, the 5 Two Press Creative Writing Community gathers virtually to make space for the words.

Each gathering begins with a new writing prompt and time to write, followed by an opportunity to share what emerged. There are no expectations about what you write, how polished it is, or whether you share at all.

Writers of all experience levels are welcome, and there is no obligation to attend every month. Come when you can. Write what you need. Be part of a community that believes stories are better when they have somewhere to land.

It’s completely free to join.
