Apricity is the publishing arm of Slate | Spark, the evolution of Blue 2 Media after recognizing that this moment in time requires a different approach. Artificial intelligence, shifting politics, and cultural upheaval have created a clean slate for how stories are told and how readers want to receive them.

Traditional nonfiction book publishing was built for a slower world. Readers now want shorter, sharper, more cinematic narratives. That is the space Apricity was created to fill.

​

We specialize in novella length works for women with stories to tell and for organizations filled with members whose stories should reach a wider audience. These narratives are designed for a single sitting. High impact. Film like on the page. Built for the way people read now, not the way they read twenty years ago.

​

We also believe the business model of storytelling should evolve. Our collaboration with organization's program shares revenue with groups that bring authors to Apricity. It creates a loop of value that benefits the reader, the author, and the communities that support them. It is a modern approach to publishing that reflects the shift happening across every industry.

​

Our process is collaborative from beginning to end. We guide authors through writing, editing, design, and distribution. We position each story to find its audience and make its mark. Every narrative is crafted to belong in this era of reinvention.

​

If you are a woman with a story to tell, or part of an organization filled with voices ready for the page, Apricity was built for you. We publish stories that read like short films and keep readers on the edge of their seats. Stories that carry clarity, emotion, and purpose.

​

The slate is clean. Apricity is where you write what comes next.
