Boutique Publishing House | The Blue Mountains, Ontario.
This is Where Your Work Becomes Legacy
Â
The Monarch & Co. is a boutique publishing house and business community for entrepreneurs and thought leaders ready to turn their expertise into a book, and their book into legacy.
Book Your Free Discovery CallOur Publishing Philosophy
At The Monarch & Co., publishing is not just about printing a book. It is about positioning your voice, amplifying your impact, and creating intellectual property that compounds over time. Our boutique, royalty-free publishing journey is designed for visionary entrepreneurs and thought leaders ready to turn lived experience and expertise into impact.
 Our Promise: We're not a book factory.
Your voice is unique and your writing is a form of art. Our entire team is human, from editors to designers, and we never use AI to write, edit or design your book. We'll guide you through the whole artist journey, so the book that reaches the world comes from you.
A Book is a Career Accelerator.
Social media asks what do you want to say today? A book asks, what do you want to be known for?Â
Our authors use their books to:
- Land speaking stages, podcast and tv features
- Attract higher-level clientsÂ
- Create signature programs grounded in their intellectual property
- Build a platform that exists beyond any algorithm and builds authorityÂ
- Leave something behind that outlasts them
Why Entrepreneurs Choose MonarchÂ
Â
Traditional publishing is slow, selective, and takes your rights and royalties. Self-publishing means doing it all alone.
Monarch is neither. We're a boutique publishing house that takes you from expertise to authority to legacy, with a team and community behind you the whole way.
Done for you, from first idea to launch day
100% yours: every right and every royalty
Human-made: real professional editors and designers, never AI
Clear timelines, no guesswork
Launch with momentum through our community
Guided by authors who've walked this path themselves
WE'RE MORE THAN JUST A BOOK PUBLISHER
Publishing at Monarch does not exist in isolation. When you join as an author, you are welcomed into our Monarch ecosystem.
It connects to:
- ✓ Monarch Momentum community membership
- âś“Â Speaking and collaboration opportunities
- âś“Â Community visibility and amplification
- âś“Â Strategic business growth conversations
Your book becomes part of a larger growth ecosystem. Not just a one-time release.

Where should I start?
Start with a Vision Mapping Session
You don't need to have it all figured out before you take the next step. The Vision Mapping Session is a two-hour deep dive where we uncover the soul of your book: why this book, why now, and who it's for. This is not a discovery call. This is the session where you leave with a custom Book Roadmap and the confidence to take your next step.

Your Story & Name Here
Your journey begins here
She Came to Us With a Story. She Left a Bestselling Author.Â
Carly Ottaway is the founder of Web of Words — a brand messaging expert who had spent years helping other entrepreneurs find their voice. Writing her own story was different. It asked more of her. It asked her to be seen completely.
She published Coming Home with Monarch. Here's what followed:
- Hit bestseller status
- Sold out her book launch event
- Featured on her dream podcast platforms
- Launched her own podcast
- Created a new signature program
- Grew her email list and increased revenue
Â
“Choosing a publisher felt like such an important decision, and from the very beginning, I knew Monarch was where I was meant to be. They didn’t just see my book — they saw me. They believed in my story long before it became real on the page.”
~Â Carly Ottaway, Author of Coming Home
Â
One book. One decision. A ripple effect that is still expanding.
What authors ask us most...
Do I need a finished manuscript to start?
Do I keep my royalties and rights?
How long does the publishing journey take?
Where will my book be sold?
How much does it cost?
What does "done for you" actually mean?
How many rounds of editing do I get?
What does the bestseller campaign actually involve?
Do you use AI to write or edit books?
Can I publish with you if I live outside Canada?
Meet the Founders: Amanda & Kiel Wilson-Ciocci
Amanda and Kiel Wilson-Ciocci are artists first. They treat every book like a canvas: something that pulls the reader in and sends them out transformed. Both are speakers and facilitators who lead workshops, events and conversations on the power of story, creativity and legacy.
Amanda Wilson-Ciocci is a three-time bestselling author (The Monarch, One Decision Away, Success Redefined), former teacher, and business strategist with 20+ years of experience helping entrepreneurs grow, launch and publish. She has spoken at conferences, summits, has been featured on CTV News and Rogers TV, and leads every author's Vision Mapping session.
Kiel Wilson-Ciocci, co-founder and creative director, brings the strategic vision and shapes the look and feel of every Monarch book and the experience of publishing one, from the first idea to the final print proof.
Together, they personally guide every author through the journey of turning their vision into authority, revenue and legacy, with monthly one-on-one calls, a fully human team, and a community that builds momentum every step of the way
