Our Mission: To give authors the opportunity to self-publish.

Founded by Dr. Akinrinola in 2005, The Lighthouse Books is a Denver-based independent publishing house. Our mission is to provide both aspiring and seasoned authors with the opportunity to self-publish without having to compromise the integrity or voice of their original works. Dr. Olukemi Akinrinola is a pediatrician, pastor and a mother.

Our team is ready and excited to assist you from start to finish. We pride ourselves in maintaining credibility, high ethics, and a supportive mentality. We strongly believe in the principle of author autonomy—that authors should have control over their own work. Additionally, we are non-exclusive, so you can publish with us today and still offer your work to other publishers and agents in the future.

Simplified Submission Process

Our submission process is simplified, and user-friendly. We offer ‘hybrid’ model contracts, which allow authors to either agree to a traditional, mainstream publishing deal, or accept a customized partnership agreement. Our variety of suitable publishing options offer something for everyone.

Traditional and Modern forms of Publicity

Our company uses both traditional and modern forms of publicity, including press releases, Artificial Intelligence technology, print adverts, reviews, and interviews. We also employ other advertising forms via social media, blogging, and reading groups. We are constantly developing new promotional ideas, such as book trailers, and innovative merchandise.
