Join our curated, signature collection of books and authors.

Trickster Press publishes authors that carry a subtle magic—books that reshape how we see ourselves and our world.

WHAT WE PUBLISH

Transformational non-fiction, creative non-fiction, self-help/memoir, hybrid biographies, poetry, and the occasional experimental form.

Who can publish with us?

  • Scenario A: You've written a killer book, and we love it.

    Your manuscript is pretty much ready to go. You may need an editing pass or two, but you’re happy with your work. We review your manuscript, agree that it’s ready to publish, and confirm that it fits with our vibe, ethos, and creative spirit.

    Congrats! You can publish with us.

  • Scenario B: You have a killer idea for a book, and we love it.

    You’re ready to write a book. You want to partner with us to create it, from concept development to publication, and you love our Trickster style. We have a consultation, and confirm that we’re smitten with you.

    Congrats! You, too, can publish with us.

Book a consultation. If it’s a fit, we’ll take you through the full publishing process and release your title as an official Trickster Press book.
