GRAPHIC DESIGN FIRM EVOLVES TO CUSTOM PUBLISHING
About SPARK Publications
Where vision meets legacy, and publication
design becomes a powerful voice.
Founded in 1998 by award-winning entrepreneur and creative visionary Fabi Preslar, SPARK Publications began as a home-based graphic design studio in Charlotte, NC. Over two decades later, it has grown into a nationally recognized, family-led custom publishing firm with a passionate, experienced team, more than 300 industry awards, and a bold mission: to bring your story, expertise, and purpose to life through exceptional design and publishing.
We’re a strategic custom publisher that specializes in crafting credibility-building nonfiction books and branded publications that amplify your voice, attract aligned opportunities, and strengthen your presence. Whether you’re preparing a thought leadership book, personal legacy story, or industry-leading magazine, we’re here to help you develop, design, and produce a publication that reflects your vision—and is ready for the right format of printing and distribution.
Our clients don’t just publish. They create a respected, lasting platform that supports their business and legacy.

What is Custom Publishing?
Custom publishing is the art of turning your expertise into meaningful, engaging content that builds connection, credibility, and value. It’s where education meets marketing—and where your brand’s voice is elevated through beautifully designed, purpose-driven publications.
While the term is often tied to digital content marketing, at SPARK Publications, we take a more holistic, human approach. We believe in delivering your message in the format your audience will most appreciate—sometimes that’s digital, sometimes it’s print—and often, it’s both. Just as there’s a time for words and a time for images, there’s also a right medium for every message.
Our job is to help you uncover the right format, tone, and design to fully resonate with your audience—so your content not only informs and inspires, but also amplifies your mission, expands your reach, and drives meaningful growth for your business.
