You thought you’d have more of this figured out by now.
Maybe the career didn’t become what you expected. Maybe the relationship ended. Maybe you simply looked around one day and wondered how the hell you ended up here.

About Yelco Press
Books for people who are still figuring it out.
Yelco Press is an independent publishing imprint built around stories and ideas that take ordinary lives seriously.
We’re interested in the space between where people thought they would be and where they actually are—the failures, relationships, choices, questions, losses, second chances, and unexpected turns that make a life worth writing about.
Our first title, A Nobody’s Guide to Self-Help, releases September 29, 2026 and is available for Kindle preorder now.
About the Author
Scottie Stone
Scottie Stone is a writer, father, and longtime automotive professional from Arkansas. He writes about family, time, failure, responsibility, regret, and the strange gap between the life we planned and the one we actually get. When he isn’t writing, he is usually working, parenting, watching sports, or thinking entirely too much about something that probably could have been left alone.
