The Empowered Press Team

The seeds for The Empowered Press were planted in late 2017 by author/publisher Jill Carlyle. After graduating from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelor's degree in English, Jill's passion for studying literature naturally segued into writing her own stories. She quickly learned that today's world of traditional publishing routinely rejects important stories that need to be told for the likes of celebrities and social media influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers. Jill quickly discovered how frustrating and deflating traditional publishing can be.

She decided to take matters into her own hands, publish her own work and help other marginalized voices do the same.
