We’re thrilled to share a proud moment in Spines history: our authors lit up the iconic Times Square in New York City!

In one of the world’s most recognized and bustling locations, Spines authors were featured on billboards celebrating their incredible publishing journeys. From fiction to memoirs, children’s books to poetry, these authors are proof that storytelling can take you places, even to the heart of Manhattan.

Seeing our authors’ faces and books showcased on such a grand stage is more than a milestone, it’s a testament to the power of self-publishing, creative courage, and the global reach of stories told with heart.

To all the writers who dream big, your words matter. And sometimes, they end up 80 feet tall.

Check out some of the stunning photos from the event below!

Leanora Benjamin. Author of Be Quiet, Little Black Girl

Erica Marom. Author of Growing Pains: A Teenage Bedtime Story

Tom Gilray. Author of Out of Season

Valerie Price. Author of Peanut Butter and Jelly, Anyone?
