We celebrate the life of Roy Jeffers, an amazing poet, whose life was taken way too soon. On September 9, 2019, Roy was in a fatal motorcycle accident. His kind spirit and connection to his soul help to make Roy not only a wonderful human being but also a talented writer. All donations on this site will be put toward the Roy Jeffers Scholarship Fund for young poets, to encourage and foster their talent. 

Roy's books of poetry and short story -

You can find Roy's books in the Breaking Rules Publishing Bookstore. The royalties from Roy's books will be split between the Point Foundation as well as Kidspeace. Two organizations dedicated to helping young people better their lives through education. Roy's generosity will live on in the children, and people that his words and work were meant to help. Thank you in advance for your donation and book purchase.

​About Us -

Breaking Rules Publishing has been founded to be the writer's publisher. To be a means of support to all writers, both young and not so young, who are in pursuit of their passion for creative writing. Hoping to inspire those who love to read and write stories, long or short. 

We were founded to help writers break down the system. Be a publishing house that is willing to take a chance on writers no matter their experience. Offer help when needed. And to work as a team with our authors, cutting through time to get the work done and move toward success.
The Story - 

The Story is simple - on a dare from his 16 year old daughter, Sarah, Christopher Clawson-Rule wrote his first book. It took him 6 months to write it and 6 years to get it published. During that time he looked for an agent, found one. His reward?  She changed the entire story around into something that he didn't recognize. For a year he worked with her to try to get his book published without success. He then started submitting to every publisher that he could find. After 6 years of trying he finally found one willing to take a chance on him. Once his manuscript was published they sent him a copy and said - "Good luck, you're on your own." 

Now, his goal is to not let that happen to other writers. Everyone should have a chance to get their work published, or be able to get the help they need to make it work. AND - publishers shouldn't just publish your book and then leave you hanging. Which is why - together - we'll create a team and a plan that will move you and your book toward success.
