Our Projects
Adventures on Sparkly Pond
Adventures on Sparkly Pond is a children’s story world centered on kindness, curiosity, and the quiet magic of everyday moments. Through illustrated stories and companion coloring pages, Sparkly Pond invites young readers and their families into a place where animals speak through action, nature is a teacher, and care for one another is woven into each tale. Published under EchoForge Press, the series is designed to be soothing, accessible, and enduring—stories meant to be returned to again and again, growing alongside the children who love them.
Warrior's Daughter
"I'm writing the book I wish I'd had at 15 - and giving it to the women raising the next generation of warriors."
- Lily Ann Fenwyn
Coming Summer, 2026, Warrior’s Daughter is an illustrated YA saga that explores inheritance, rage, and the systems that train girls to be silent. Told through the lens of mythic realism, the series follows a young protagonist awakening to a legacy that was never meant to be gentle or reassuring. Published under EchoForge Press, Warrior’s Daughter is a long-form narrative project built with intention and restraint—stories that treat anger as information, remembering as survival, and storytelling as an act of witness rather than comfort.
The Great Hall
Coming in 2026, The Great Hall is a membership space created for readers and creators who understand that awakening is not gentle and belonging does not require permission. Built alongside the narrative worlds published by EchoForge Press, the Great Hall serves as a gathering place for reflection, ritual, and shared language—where stories are not consumed, but carried forward. It exists as a living extension of the work, offering space to engage more deeply with themes of inheritance, resilience, and becoming, beyond the page.

editorial scope
EchoForge Press is an in-house imprint of RISE United LLC. We do not accept unsolicited submissions and do not operate as an open publishing service. All projects published under EchoForge Press are developed internally or through direct collaboration.
This boundary allows us to protect the integrity of the work and give each project the time, care, and structure it requires.
Craft & Structure
EchoForge Press prioritizes disciplined craft over speed and longevity over trend cycles. Projects are developed with attention to narrative architecture, visual cohesion, and thematic consistency—so the work can mature rather than rush to market.
We believe stories meant to endure must be built with the same care as anything intended to last.
Current Focus
EchoForge Press is currently focused on the continued development of its core narrative worlds:
-
Warrior’s Daughter — a six-book illustrated YA saga in development
-
Adventures on Sparkly Pond — an ongoing illustrated children’s series
-
The Great Hall — a living companion space for readers and creators
