Create with Hearts Notes

Your idea could become something people carry with them.

You do not need a finished manuscript or a publishing résumé. Bring us the story, lesson, resource, illustration, or product idea you cannot stop thinking about. We can help shape it into something thoughtful, useful, and beautifully made.

Share your idea

You would be joining dozens of writers and creators already shaping meaningful work with Hearts Notes. Some publish under their own name. Others choose a pen name, initials, or a quieter public role.

Start where you are

You may be closer than you think

A lived experience, a family routine, a teaching method, or a sketch on your phone can be a real beginning. We are interested in ideas with heart, clarity, and a person they are meant to help.

Books and visual guides

Stories, practical guides, faith-filled resources, and illustrated ideas made easier to understand.

Workbooks, journals, and devotionals

Guided pages that help people reflect, learn, pray, plan, or move through a real season of life.

Gifts, illustration, and merchandise

Words and artwork that can live on thoughtful gifts, keepsakes, apparel, and everyday objects.

Learning and companion resources

Activities, lesson companions, printable tools, and resources that make a bigger idea easier to use.

A clear path

From first thought to finished work

We keep the first step simple, then make every important decision clear before the project grows.

  1. Share the beginning

    Tell us what the idea is, why it matters to you, and who you hope it will help.

  2. We look for the fit

    We consider the audience, usefulness, originality, and whether Hearts Notes is the right home for it.

  3. Everything important goes in writing

    If there is a fit, we agree on the scope, credit, rights, creator share, responsibilities, and timing before production begins.

  4. We shape it together

    Depending on the project, we can help with structure, editing, design, production, presentation, and launch preparation.

  5. It finds its people

    The finished work joins Hearts Notes, and you can share and promote it in the way that feels right for you.

Your identity

Your name, your choice

Your work can carry your full name, a pen name, your initials, or a discreet contributor credit. If you prefer to stay private publicly, tell us. Legal identity and payment details are handled privately only when a project moves forward.

Your share

85% of net proceeds

For projects accepted under our creator partnership, the creator receives 85% of net proceeds. Before work begins, we put the scope, credit, rights, calculation, and payment rhythm in writing so there are no hidden surprises.

Good to know

Before you share your idea

Do I need a finished manuscript?

No. A clear idea, a useful outline, a set of notes, or a partial draft can be enough to begin a conversation.

Can I use a pen name or remain private?

Yes. You can choose a full name, pen name, initials, or a discreet public credit. Private legal and payment details are requested only if a project moves forward.

Can I submit a merchandise or illustration idea?

Yes. We welcome thoughtful concepts for gifts, artwork, apparel, and companion products as well as books and written resources.

How does the 85% creator share work?

For projects accepted under our creator partnership, the creator receives 85% of net proceeds. The exact calculation, rights, and payment schedule are agreed in writing before production begins.

Does submitting guarantee that the project will be accepted?

No. A submission begins a conversation. We review every idea for fit, feasibility, audience, and the care required to do it well.

Begin the conversation

Tell us what you are imagining

Tell us enough to understand the heart of the idea and who it is for. You do not need to make it polished before you press send.

A beginning is enough. Please do not send private identity, tax, or payment information here.
