About Nicole Frail Books, LLC
Nicole Frail Books, LLC is a small, independent (“indie”) press operating outside of Scranton, Pennsylvania. NFB currently includes three imprints: And You Press (collaborative), Attic Ebooks (single author, digital focus), and InkBridge Books (hybrid).
NFB’s first release was As the Snow Drifts, a cozy winter anthology, in November 2024. More than 30 other titles soon followed. Through both anthologies and solo releases, NFB has published the works of more than 50 authors over the past two years. Authors are located around the world, from northeastern Pennsylvania to South Africa and even Australia. More than 110,000 copies of NFB’s books have been distributed throughout the world as of January 2026.
Publisher Nicole Frail intends for this company to be a stepping stone for authors. Over the past (nearly) two decades, she has worked with many who get to the bottom of query letters and are unable to say they’ve ever published a story or an essay in a collection, magazine, or journal. She has worked with many more who have never partnered with a professional editor, who have never received a professional critique or edit because it’s simply outside of their budget to do so. She wants to be able to offer those experiences to authors who need them, and by focusing on (mostly) short fiction, and setting up this company in a traditional way, she is able to provide aspiring (and seasoned) authors with those experiences.
About the Publisher
Publisher and Editor Nicole Frail began her professional editing career working in educational book production in 2009. She then accepted an internship at a traditional independent New York publisher, Skyhorse Publishing, and then climbed the ranks to senior editor and lead children’s editor of Sky Pony Press.
While living in New York City, she launched her own freelance business, Nicole Frail Edits, to work with indie authors and querying authors and other clients.
Working with both traditional presses and independent authors has allowed her to have a foot on both sides of the “divide.” She has had a front row to the ways both “sides” of the industry has transformed over the past two decades. And now she brings that knowledge to her own small press.
Nicole is a northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA!) native, and she’s lived in New York City and New Jersey. She married her high school boyfriend and they have three little boys together. She is a true night owl, and her hobbies include reading (of course!), brainstorming (never stop!), resisting the urge to “coach” from the sidelines at soccer games, and playing tabletop board games with her husband.

A Note from the Publisher
NFB started with a few anthologies, and those have been amazing. We introduced some new voices to readers. We’ve walked some debut authors through the editorial and publishing processes.
We’re doing it. WE as in, the community of amazing writers that I have stumbled into in the three-ish years that I’ve been more active online (thank you, bookstagram!). You are all talented, you are all driven, you are all impressive. And whether you want to pursue traditional publishing, you want a bit of hand-holding with hybrid, or you want to stick to the indie route, I want to support you. So follow me here, message me on Nicole Frail Edits, DM me on Facebook. I’m wherever you need me to be.
Submit your manuscripts to And You Press, Attic Ebooks, or InkBridge Books and let’s keep on doing it!
