FEATURED BOOK

Stories I Shouldn’t Tell is a collection of short stories that peek behind the curtain of what’s usually left unsaid.
 

With a voice both tender and unsettling, these tales explore quiet fears, passing thoughts, strange memories, and eerie moments hiding in everyday life.
 

From odd encounters to shifting realities, each story invites the reader into a world that’s deeply personal—and maybe just a bit uncomfortable. Because some stories… are not meant to be told. But here, they are.

Testimonials

Eva Zhang -

In the process of making my picture books, I have encountered several obstacles and problems when publishing them on KDP, such as figuring out the right trim size and managing the cover. As a result, I began posting on several social media platforms, which helped me to explain the challenges I've faced. Despite the fact that no one contacted me at first, they were really eager to assist me and kept in touch with me on the resolution of these issues. I was able to successfully publish my picture book on Amazon.com with Bookmark League's assistance. In addition to gently guiding me through the process of modifying the trim size, managing the margin and bleed of each page in detail using Canva, and teaching me how to use online tools to determine the book's thickness, they also supported me during my difficult moments. In conclusion, this experience has helped me grow personally while also allowing me to experience their professionalism, patience, and kindness.

Eason Yin's Mom -

When Eason passionately told me he wanted to write a book, I thought it was just a small dream—until we encountered Bookmark League. From the early word count requirements to the later stages of editing and revision, we’re deeply grateful for Chris’s patience and enthusiasm throughout the entire process. Despite living in Australia and the U.S. respectively, they coordinated across time zones and held efficient online meetings to complete the editing work.
 

Even the suggestions on cover and back cover design were very professional. Especially during the final stages of publishing and setting up the purchase links, everything was handled smoothly. We've now received the printed version of the book—Eason was thrilled and deeply fulfilled. He even gifted copies to his teachers and close friends.
 

It was truly a wonderful publishing experience. We're so grateful for this encounter!

I’m truly honoured! Publishing my first book with Bookmark League has been such a rewarding experience, and I’m proud to be part of a mission that combines creativity with meaningful impact!

 

It’s incredibly fulfilling to know my book was able to go towards helping children in need. I’d be more than happy to help promote the book further and support your cause in any way I can, being one I am also deeply passionate about. Please don’t hesitate to let me know of any materials or upcoming opportunities I could share or participate in to help promote the book and this wonderful cause.

 

Thank you again for all the support, and for the wonderful work you, and the Bookmark League team do! I look forward to staying in touch!
