We publish entertaining fiction.

What we publish
Anthologies
Short-story collections built around a shared theme — Space Cowboys, Malta, Wyrd West, Moggies in Space. Capped at ten stories so every contributor’s share stays meaningful.
Novels
Full-length science fiction, fantasy and everything adjacent. Series and standalones from authors who would rather entertain you than improve you.
Boys’ Adventure
Middle-grade and early-reader adventure published under our Valor Books and Fox Cub imprints. Separate catalogue, same standards.
RADICAL TRANSPARENCY
Our contract terms are public
Most presses don’t publish their deal terms. We do, because “trust us” isn’t a business model.
• Authors receive an equal percentage share alongside the Press, our editors and administration — we don’t take 80% off the top and split the rest.
• Anthologies are capped at ten stories, so that equal share stays meaningful.
• We hold short-story rights for one year after publication. After that rights revert — and we keep paying royalties for as long as the anthology sells.
