About
A place for stories to find their way into the world.
Sanctuary Publishing Inc. is an independent publishing company founded by author Sharon Irwin Henry. Our first project is the Sanctuary Saga, a young adult science fiction series that began as bedtime stories Sharon told her granddaughters during a time of grief.
We believe stories can offer refuge, spark imagination, and help people find their voices. As the company grows, our vision is to help other storytellers bring their work into the world.
