Where Stories Find Their Power

Books are more than words on a page—they are transformations, conversations, and legacies in the making.

The Story Behind Mria Publishing

Mría (pronounced MREE-ya) means dream in Ukrainian.

But to me, it’s more than a word from my homeland—it’s a belief.

A belief that stories hold power. That words shape our lives,
and our lives shape worlds.

And what could be more magical than a dream?

Mria Publishing is a space where stories of resilience, transformation,
and self-discovery take shape—and find
the readers who need them most.

When I decided to write A Courage to Know,
I knew I wanted full creative control—
not just over my book, but over its message, experience, and impact.


That’s how Mria Publishing was born.

More than a publishing imprint, Mria is a statement.

That our voices matter.
That our stories deserve to be told.
That we don’t need permission to bring our work into the world.

What Mria Publishing
Stands For

At Mria Publishing, we believe in the power of independent publishing—a space where every voice matters and every story deserves to be heard.

  • Creative Freedom – Every story should be told the way it was meant to be, without limitations. No gatekeepers, no permission needed—just powerful, unfiltered storytelling.

  • Authenticity & Depth – We publish books that challenge, inspire, and transform—stories of resilience, reinvention, and the pursuit of self-agency.

  • Empowerment – Publishing isn’t just about books—it’s about owning your voice and sharing it with the world. Every author should have the freedom to tell their story, their way.

A Home for Non-Fiction
That Moves, Inspires & Empowers
Mria Publishing is dedicated to books that
spark self-discovery, personal growth,
and deep transformation.

As an immigrant, mentor, and lifelong seeker of meaning,
I know the power of rewriting your own story.
Mria Publishing is especially for those
who have navigated reinvention—immigrants, creators, leaders, and anyone daring to carve their own path.

Because every story deserves a place to be heard.
Because books don’t just share experiences—they shape lives.
