Severn River Publishing (SRP) is a story of passion, perseverance, and a shared commitment to compelling storytelling. Launched in 2018, SRP was conceived not in boardrooms but in the diverse experiences and shared bonds of its founders--veterans and military spouses. This includes CEO Andrew Watts, a former Navy pilot, and publishing director Amber Hudock, a Navy spouse who raised three children amidst her husband's global deployments.
In just five years, SRP has grown to encompass over 40 authors and several hundred titles, with a particular emphasis on thriller, mystery, and historical fiction series. These titles have made their mark on the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and other bestseller lists, a testament to the compelling narratives we bring to our readers.
The success of SRP hinges on our dedication to understanding what resonates with readers. This ethos has fueled our proficiency in digital advertising, augmented by a growing focus on organic social engagement.

An intrinsic strength of SRP is the diverse life experiences our authors bring to the page. Among our ranks, we can count a submarine captain, a Wyoming judge, an Army special operations team leader, police detectives, crime reporters, Navy pilots, intelligence officers, and trial attorneys. This array of backgrounds enriches our storytelling, adding a palpable sense of realism and authenticity.
The company's name is a tribute to the Severn River that meanders through Annapolis, Md., the home of the U.S. Naval Academy, where several SRP members first met. As we continue our journey, we are dedicated to crafting stories that captivate and entertain readers around the world.
