Be Part of the StoryForge Community

The StoryForge Initiative is built on the belief that every writer deserves a path forward — and that when we work together, everyone wins.

Whether you’re an author, reader, sponsor, or creative professional, there are many ways to help forge new opportunities for indie authors across the nation.


1️⃣ For Authors

Join the Initiative

StoryForge will soon offer:

  • Affordable ISBNs at just $20 each, helping authors publish professionally without breaking the bank.
  • Optional author landing pages to showcase your books and connect with readers.
  • Access to our resource library — a free collection of guides and templates designed to simplify the self-publishing journey.

Stay tuned for updates as we finalize our application system and begin accepting author submissions.

📬 Follow our Updates page for announcements when registration opens.


2️⃣ For Readers and Supporters

If you believe in helping great stories reach the world, you can make an impact — even if you’re not an author.

Donate (Coming Soon)

A community GoFundMe campaign will launch soon to help fund the first 100 ISBNs for indie authors.
Every dollar raised will go directly toward ISBN purchases, not overhead.

Check back soon for the live campaign link!


3️⃣ For Sponsors and Partners

We’re looking to connect with businesses, platforms, and professionals who share our mission.

In the near future, we’ll be reaching out to potential partners such as Atticus, Canva, and IngramSpark to negotiate discounts, tools, and other exclusive resources for our community.

If your company is interested in partnering with StoryForge to support indie authors, reach out via our Contact Page.


4️⃣ Support Through the StoryForge Webstore

Founder Christopher Schlosser is launching a separate creative venture — a webstore designed to give back to The StoryForge Initiative.

This store will feature themed merchandise, creative tools, and author-related items, with a portion of every sale donated directly to StoryForge.

In keeping with our transparency promise, each product will list the exact dollar amount donated — no vague percentages, just honest support.

🛒 The store will launch soon at store.cmschlosser.com

5️⃣ Spread the Word

One of the most powerful ways to support StoryForge is by helping us grow.

  • Share our mission on social media.

  • Mention us at writing groups or book events.

Every voice helps build momentum for indie authors everywhere.
