The house
behind thebooks.
Samawa Editions is an independent publishing house based in Paris. We publish genre fiction and practical non-fiction for the American market, under several pen names, and we lend the same tools we use on our own manuscripts to the authors who submit theirs to us.
A small house,
a clear focus
Samawa Editions was founded in 2026 in Paris. We don't chase every genre — we've picked two lanes and we stay in them: sweet, clean romance and cozy mystery, published for readers on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited, and a smaller line of practical journals and workbooks for everyday life — caregiving, recovery, and personal organization. Every title goes out under a pen name, a common practice in genre publishing, and every pen name is backed by the same house: the same standards, the same terms, the same address at the bottom of this page.
Two shelves,
one standard
Genre Fiction
Amish and small-town romance, ranch and marriage-in-crisis stories, and cozy mystery — five pen names, twenty titles and counting. Browse the full catalog on Our Books.
Practical Non-Fiction
Journals, logs and workbooks written for a single real need at a time — caregiving, recovery, and everyday organization — under three further pen names.
We measure
before we publish
Every manuscript we publish under our own pen names goes through the same six measurements before it goes to press: voice, market, money, listing, cover, and international. We built that process for ourselves first — and we now offer the same diagnostic, free, to any author who submits a manuscript to us.
