About AJP

Welcome to Aria James Publishing, the bookstore owned and run by Rebecca K. Sampson. Hi! That's me!

I publish stories under three genres and pen names. No matter the genre, all books show unique takes on love surviving even the most difficult of situations and settings. Because that is the life I have lived!

At AJP, your purchase directly supports me and my family, instead of large retailers. Thank you for your support!

How did you start writing?

I've always been creative and loved reading (growing up in the years where vampires and dystopian novels took over our shelves), but spent my time writing poetry and creating mixed media collages. It was in college that I started writing professionally, but with blog posts to compliment my YouTube vlogs and tutorials, with 10K engaged subscribers that wanted to hear about my life and opinions. Expressing myself has always been part of me, only the medium with which I've done it has changed. 

In November 2014, the same month I was getting married to my high school sweetheart, I heard about the NaNoWriMo writing challenge, and fell in love with the idea of gamified writing. Over a decade later, publishing is now a cornerstone of my life!

Ember Dragon Daughter is the first full book I finished, after a few false starts, and I'm so proud of what it became.

I am an author myself and I'm looking for advice. How can I work with you?

I currently offer paid beta reading services and share a few authorship tutorials on my blog. See here for more details.
