Creative Courage Press is an independent hybrid publishing company founded in 2020 by Shelly L. Francis, inspired by the people she met while writing The Courage Way: Leading and Living with Integrity, a book that Spirituality & Practice named as one of the “Best Spiritual Books of 2018.” She wrote it as a leadership book for the Center for Courage & Renewal during her time there as marketing and communications director. Now she’s working on her next projects as author, inviting the good company of other authors. Who knows what we’ll unleash in the years to come with our collaboration! Join us!
