A publishing house built for the authors the industry forgot.
Most independent authors face a false choice: sign with a publisher who buries the book, or do everything themselves. We exist for the third path — full editorial and commercial firepower, kept on your side of the table.
A house of editors, designers, and marketers.
We started as a small editorial collective inside a larger trade publisher. We left in 2018 because we wanted to spend our days on books we believed in.
Eight years later, we're a forty-person house with an in-house design studio and a marketing team that runs launches for debut novelists and founders alike. We've published two hundred and forty titles. Many never would have existed otherwise.
We don't take every project. We take the ones we'd be proud to put our name on.
Four commitments. In writing.
Senior practitioners, every engagement
No junior account managers. The editor on your manuscript has at least a decade of trade experience.
You keep your rights
Always. We publish under your imprint or ours, and you retain 100% of the IP and the royalties.
Fixed scope, fixed price
Every engagement comes with a written scope and a fixed quote. No surprise invoices.
Honest scoping
If you don't need a service, we won't sell it to you. Most engagements use two or three of our six lines.
The team you'll actually work with.
