Welcome to Sheltering Tree Media
A Traditional Press for Spiritually Inspired Fiction, Nonfiction, and Poetry
Stories That Uplift. Voices That Illuminate. Books That Endure.
At Sheltering Tree Earth Media, we publish books that strengthen the spirit and speak to the heart.
As a medium‑sized traditional press, we combine professional publishing standards
with a personal, relationship‑centered approach.
Our authors know they can reach us — and our readers know they can trust us.
We believe stories rooted in faith, hope, and compassion have the power to change lives.
That belief guides everything we do.

- Professional editorial guidance to help your manuscript shine
- Thoughtful design and distribution across print and digital formats
- A collaborative, approachable team who values real relationships
- A mission‑driven focus on spiritually grounded, uplifting work
