The Soul of the Story
Fierce Publications didn’t start as a business. It began as survival — a heartbeat pounding out stories too powerful to stay silent.
Today it stands as an independent press devoted to books that carry truth, courage, and lived experience.
Here, boldness is not just branding—it’s a lifeline. Every design, collaboration, and offering works to reclaim voice, amplify truth, and crack open space for stories that refuse to be silenced.
We exist to give refuge to stories that deserve to be seen and heard. We create space for women to rise, to make, and to be fully known. That is the soul of the story.
This is where practicality meets poetry.
Where creativity meets courage.
Where your story becomes your legacy.
Welcome to the heart behind the work.
The Fierce Publications logo is bold and architectural — a geometric F forged in shades of deep fuchsia and charcoal. It represents structure meeting spirit: the balance between creativity and craft that every author must master. The sharp edges convey precision and purpose, while the vivid pink embodies passion and voice. Together they symbolize stories that shake the silence — powerful narratives shaped with discipline, designed to last, and destined to make an impact. This emblem reminds writers that their words can build foundations strong enough to set others free.
Why Fierce Publications?
It began as survival, became healing, now—it’s legacy.
Fierce Publications grew from my own journey of reclaiming my voice, and it exists to help others do the same. Every offering here rests on the belief that your story matters. This is where craft meets courage, and creativity becomes a force for freedom.
Whether you are here to tell your truth, build your presence, or guide others with your words—welcome. You’re not just creating a book. You’re claiming your place in the world.
Every story has power. Fierce Publications exists to set those stories free.
By mentoring authors and publishing powerful women’s voices, Fierce Publications transforms truth into catalyst, giving voice to those silenced by shame or circumstance.
Because storytelling isn’t just art — it’s activism.
Meet Toby
I didn’t set out to become a writer.
I set out to survive.
My memoir Living with Conviction began as an unflinching look at the moment my life unraveled — and became a testimony to transformation.
I served 27 months in federal prison, and used that time to strip away every mask and begin again.
When I walked out, I wanted more than freedom. I wanted meaning.
That search gave birth to Fierce Publications — a press devoted to stories that refuse silence.
Standing strong outside the Federal Bureau of Prisons headquarters in Washington, D.C.—a reminder that no bars can define me, and no past can limit my future.
But more than press or headlines, what matters most is this:
I’m here to help you tell the story only you can tell—because it just might change everything.
