What We Do
We specialize in publishing remarkable stories, both fiction and non-fiction, that challenge humanity to grow and triumph. We are particularly interested in stories that examine human emotion, relationships, family life, and Christianity.
We also publish works of poetry to support the seemingly dying literary art form. If your poetry is unmasked and tacitly tender, we would be interested in publishing your work. Other areas of interest include publishing magazines and comics.
We expect to publish only two books per year - a combination of any two genres. *We start accepting manuscript submissions on May 1st, 2020. To find out more about us or to submit a manuscript, please email us at publishing@odemcompanies.com.

DIMENSIONS OF A WOMAN
The first book of a three-part chronicle, is a concoction of poetic realism that reads like a storied voyage. Using first-person and echoed narratives, the poems weave a salty link to the similar emotional plight of other women. The piquant story that emerges shows women navigating fear, celebrating love, seeking shelter under the strength of trust . . . love can make you forget and remember but it always, always makes you hope.
