About Us

Trickster Press is an authorship studio and hybrid publisher for people with transformational stories, bright ideas, unconventional knowledge, and personal lived experience they want to turn into books.

Named after the mythological trickster — the boundary-crosser, rule-breaker, and finder of unexpected paths — Trickster Press exists for writers who need a different (and we, think, more playful) way through.

We support authors through every stage of the book writing process, from concept development and outlining to manuscript creation, editing, and publication, while helping preserve what matters most: your voice.

Founder Raven Royce has been in love with books from an early age. Her passion and gift for serving authors and participating in the lineage of book publishing has grown to epic proportions, and henceforth, Trickster was born.

A little more about us

  • While we support writers in every genre and style to finish and self-publish their books, Trickster Press titles are transformative non-fiction by a wide range of magical, unconventional and visionary voices. Our books are a unique hybrid of memoir and self-help, where authors use the power of their personal story and lived experience to assist humanity.

  • Imagination, bravery, and play are our core values.

  • After almost a decade offering premium ghostwriting, editing, and freelance consulting services 1:1 to help authors develop their books, Raven Royce decided it was time to expand. Together with storytelling expert and filmmaker Ryan Jacobi, she founded Trickster Press in 2026.
