Welcome to The Sapling Press!

I’m Prachi Sharma—an author, publisher, and former tech leader based in San Ramon, California.

After 20 years as a Principal Engineer at Oracle, I turned my focus toward my lifelong passion: crafting stories that travel across borders, generations, and the quiet spaces of everyday life. I bring the same curiosity, precision, and care to book creation that I brought to software engineering.

Here at my store, you’ll find:

• Personal Works: Heartfelt titles like Manju: A Life of Grit, Grace and Greatness (Editor's Choice 2023) and the global adventures of our family dog in Paws Around the World.
• Young Authors Series: A dedicated platform publishing and celebrating the creative voices of the next generation.

Thank you for visiting, supporting independent publishing, and being part of this storytelling journey!
