Welcome to Fiction Forge Press – Where Literary Dreams Take Flight

​​

Founded in 2024 by Andrew F. Balog, Fiction Forge Press LLC was born from a vision to revolutionize the publishing industry. Drawing from his extensive experience as CEO of Logs Leisure Entertainment LLC and over a decade in the film and television industry, Andrew has developed award-winning projects such as The Adventures of Snow White and Rose Red for Amazon Prime Video and the internationally acclaimed film 22. His journey in entertainment taught him a profound truth: creative freedom is the cornerstone of artistic excellence.

​

After witnessing the challenges and limitations of traditional publishing, Andrew set out to create a platform that prioritizes the artist's vision above all else. Inspired by his success in the entertainment world, he envisioned a publishing house where authors are empowered to bring their stories to life with integrity, precision, and passion. Fiction Forge Press is built on the foundation of traditional publishing excellence while standing apart from pay-to-publish (hybrid) models. Here, every author becomes a true creative partner, enjoying the freedom and professional support needed to transform their vision into a literary masterpiece.
