They approached me with paid writing opportunities. Paid as in... they want me to pay to write and be published. That's not how being a writer works. This company is predatory and, frankly, disgusting. Reading the positive reviews, I see clear marks of ChatGPT in many of them, and they all reek of fake, purchase reviews.
If you're a writer, please stay away. Do some research about the business of professional writing. You should never have to pay up front to write or publish anything. At most, $3-5 for submission to a lit mag and up to $25 for submission to a contest. That's it. Everything else is a scam.

Can't Recommend She Rises or KnownPR Higher
I wish I could adequately convey my deep appreciation for the integrity, quality of work, professionalism and more importantly the fact that EVERYONE on the She Rises Team is heavily invested in my success. I have been blown away with the publishing team (published 3 books, 1 anthology, docuseries, magazine articles etc) as well as KnownPR where I was quickly onboarded, and media opportunities arrived without any work or stress on my part. My only regret is that I did not invest in myself for KnownPR sooner.

“A visionary publisher who listens, innovates, and empowers women authors worldwide.”
As a multiple-times published international bestselling author since 2002, I have worked with four German and 4 American publishers, have one art book self-published, and know the industry inside out. In the last 18 months alone, I published seven anthology chapters with She Rises Studios, with two more on the way, plus two journals and nearly a dozen magazine articles. Why do I keep choosing them? Because She Rises Studios is more than a standard publishing house.
They operate as a globally connected content creator and distributor — producing books, anthologies, magazines, podcasts, and even online TV shows — while offering supportive services like sales-page development, PR packages, stage reels, and live events. Their culture is family-based and inclusive, led by a mother–daughter duo, and they walk their women’s empowerment mission talk in every interaction.
What sets them apart for me: they listen. When I request changes or new services, I am heard, and often my ideas are implemented. Their unique business model even shares royalties with contributing anthology authors — something I’ve never seen elsewhere. Working with them has been both professionally rewarding and creatively joyful. I wholeheartedly recommend She Rises Studios to any author or entrepreneur looking for a publisher who is visionary, supportive, and truly values women’s voices.

SheRises Studios is such an inspiring company!
SheRises Studios has absolutely been a godsend! I had prayed about finding a publishing studio, and when God led me to them by going to their coffee connect first and seeing the interaction and how much Hanna gave in teaching people, encouraging people and sharing insights into the business world as she empowered women to empower others was so refreshing and inspiring. I was so impressed I decided to publish in some of their anthologies. I had a great experience so I republished a book I had self published “Breath of Heaven Manifesting God’s Way” and with the coaching insights my book hit BestSelling 18 award categories in three countries. I was blown away and the book printing quality was so much better than I had done. The Editing team was so helpful! I have since published 11 other anthologies with them which all have made Bestsellers awards. I am so grateful God led me to SheRises Studios! The staff are all so friendly and helpful. I can’t say enough good about the whole team. Thank you Hanna and Adriana for following the calling of opening this wonderful company! If you’re looking for a publishing company you won’t be disappointed!!!

An AMAZING Author Experience
This has been an incredible author journey for me for the past year. I never thought I would write a chapter in a book, let alone my own solo book: Courageous Woman Casting Cares Upon Jesus. I also never expected to become a USA BEST SELLER with Amazon. This whole process is still somewhat surreal to me. What I do know is that Hanna Olivas, Adriana Luna Carlos, and Catherine Cruz have been incredible to work with since the day I signed my solo book contract with She Rises Studios & Fenix TV last year. Their entire SRS Team has been wonderful to work with and add a creative and innovative approach to the process. They have been supportive and excellent communicators along the way. Hanna has walked beside me, encouraged and challenged me, and helped me attain a whole other level of authorship and entrepreneurship through her teachings and mentorship along the way. It is easy to write when it flows from your heart. This happened to me. I started with one chapter in the book: Pray Don’t Panic and it led to me contributing to nine other anthologies this year. Writing these chapters, led by the Holy Spirit, gave me the confidence that I could write my own solo book; I did just that. I highly recommend working with SRS & Fenix TV if you want to write your own solo book and get published. I recommend possibly starting off with a few anthologies first, before taking that leap to the solo book. It helps you polish your skills as an author prior to writing your own book. You are in excellent hands with SRS & Fenix TV! Highly Recommend!

Disappointing and Dream Destroying
I was approached by Adriana on LinkedIn back in 2023, I was cautious to step into anything because I had some previous negative experiences with independent publishers, but from the first meeting I was promised my dream publishing experience.
I signed the contract for $10,000 (roughly £9000) and was so excited to finally get to call myself a published author. Looking back now I wish I had never dealt with them in the first place.
My contract said that I would get a full media and press release with a best-seller campaign, and 100 printed copies of my book. NONE of these ever happened!
Upon the publication of my book in May 2024, I was told that my media/press release would start straight away. I took hours out of my day to promote my work across various social media outlets expecting them to be doing the same thing or their side of things. So you can imagine my disappointment and confusion when NOTHING was happening. I kept emailing them to get answers and all responses were vague and standoffish.
In August, I was told that there was some kind of personal issue within the business meaning that my press release was never sent off. I gave the benefit of the doubt as they promised to re-do the press release with guaranteed media responses.
At this point, I was mentally exhausting myself to promote my work to the point where it had an effect on my physical health as well. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, I had a meeting with Hanna, who told me that once again they hadn't released my work to the press due to the media focus on the US election. This is when sirens started blaring out to me and my family.
Their final attempt to keep me hanging on was to tell me that they would re-do the whole press release AGAIN in the new year. But by the time January came around I hadn't received anything, it was complete radio silence; I was promised a meeting with Hanna and that never happened. All contracted 24 hour support responses were nowhere to be seen either.
And that isn't everything. I never received my 100 copies (which had supposedly been sent off from the US at least three times), they kept saying that they don't understand how they could be getting lost from the US to the UK. Any paperbacks that I needed for my promotional pieces, I had to pay for with my own money - as if I hadn't already spent enough money.
The book itself was NEVER even made available instore, like the contract stated it would be.
In March of this year, it was time for me to pull the plug on the whole thing and face the facts that I had been scammed out of money. I had to hire a lawyer to help me get out of the contract and get my work back, my book was taken down and no longer made available to purchase online anywhere.
After finding out that my work wasn't even copyrighted in the database - which was a part of the contract - my lawyer helped me get back all rights to my work, which I now happily own.
She Rises Studios present themselves as a friendly, approachable, and empowering team of women, that will help you achieve your goals, but that is the complete opposite of what I experienced.
Imagine having your dreams presented to you on a plate just for it to be snatched away from you. That is what She Rises Studios did to me.
If I could give them 0 stars then I would do.

I had no idea what I was doing when I…
I had no idea what I was doing when I first decided to write my solo book. I just knew I had a story one that had been sitting on my heart for years. I didn’t know where to start or who would even care. To be honest, most of my friends and even some of my family didn’t understand why I wanted to write it. But She Rises Studios did. From day one, they believed in me when I didn’t even fully believe in myself.
Hanna Olivas, what can I say? She’s a rare kind of leader. She’s not just the face of the company, she has a heart that shows up, texts back, prays with you, laughs with you, and pushes you to dream bigger than you ever thought possible.
My book became a bestseller. I’m now working on my second one, set to release in late 2026. If you’re looking for a place that’s more than just a publisher if you want to be seen, supported, and surrounded by people who truly care, She Rises Studios is that place
