A Creative Home for Women Building Work that Lasts
Aphrodite Media is a women-led, creator-owned media company dedicated to developing work that entertains, inspires, and endures—beginning with publishing and expanding into a broader creative studio for storytelling. A commitment to philanthropy is woven throughout our work through Aphrodite Gives, the company’s philanthropic arm.
What We Do
We partner with a select group of creators to develop stories and ideas with depth, voice, and staying power. Through our publishing imprint, Aphrodite Books, we focus on close collaboration, editorial excellence, and long-term creative partnership, with a broader vision for bringing compelling stories and voices to audiences across platforms.
We create and champion work that moves hearts, shapes conversation, and moves humanity forward.
Vision
From the page outward, Aphrodite Media is building a creative studio for storytelling that spans platforms, audiences, and generations.
We believe stories and ideas have the power to shape culture, expand possibility, and create meaningful change. As individuals and as a company, we are committed to making a positive impact in our communities and around the world.
Aphrodite Media envisions an ecosystem rooted in integrity, artistry, and purpose—where bold voices are championed, creative freedom is protected, and stories are given the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Across publishing, conversation, and production, we aim to create work that resonates, challenges, inspires, and leaves something meaningful behind.
Why We Exist
Founded by author and media entrepreneur Rachael Eckles, Aphrodite Media was born from a belief that exceptional stories deserve exceptional stewardship. What began with a passion for storytelling that entertains, sparks conversation, and creates meaningful impact has grown into a media company built around creative ambition, editorial excellence, and the people behind the work.
After bringing her own novels into the world, Rachael saw an opportunity to create the kind of publishing experience she believed authors deserved—one that values artistic integrity, editorial rigor, author partnership, and long-term thinking. That vision became Aphrodite Books and is now expanding beyond publishing, with Aphrodite Talks and Aphrodite Productions in development. Across each, the vision remains the same: to create exceptional work, support the people behind it, and make a meaningful cultural impact.
We believe in books with depth, voice, and staying power—and in the authors who create them.
