our STORY

logo PNG (outlined).png
BlackGold Publishing
BlackGold Publishing (TM) in partnership with our nonprofit The BlackGold Publishing Book League of Hampton Roads is an online publishing company, offering traditional services as well as hybrid publishing options to authors of all genres. Established in 2017 in the Hampton Roads Area of Virginia, BlackGold Publishing began its literary work in the community by providing exclusive opportunities to Virginia's local indie author scene. We utilized relevant marketing strategies to cogently understand literary viability and the fluctuations of a changing industry. Through such strategies, including providing one on one coaching for authors and quality editing services we have, since then, grown remarkably and have established ourselves as a formidable publishing house having assisted over 500 writers and creatives, published over 200 titles, and represent nearly 50 authors worldwide.
