Our Mission

More Than Publishing — It's Purpose

We believe every story deserves to be told, especially the ones that took courage to live.
Brooklyn N Bloom Publishing exists for the dreamers, the survivors, the storytellers who have a message the world needs to hear. We specialize in helping first-time authors navigate the journey from idea to published book — with expert guidance at every step.

"You're not just writing a book. You're reclaiming your voice, telling your story safely, and turning pain into purpose."

Meet the Founder

The Story Behind the Mission

Millicent Starnes, Founder of Brooklyn N Bloom Publishing

Millicent Starnes

Founder, Brooklyn N Bloom Publishing

With over a decade of experience as a victims' advocate and a nationally accredited professional, Millicent has spent years working directly with survivors of sexual violence and trauma. Through that work, she recognized a powerful truth: many people carry stories that could not only help them heal — but also educate, protect, and transform others.

Brooklyn N Bloom Publishing was born from that realization.

As a published author herself, Millicent brings both lived experience and professional insight to every project. What sets her apart is her trauma-informed approach to storytelling — she understands that for many, writing a book is not just a creative process, it's a deeply personal one.

Whether you're writing to heal, to educate, or to build a platform, Millicent provides the structure, guidance, and support needed to move you from silence and uncertainty to clarity, confidence, and completion.
