About

Suspend disbelief, all ye who enter here

Welcome to Dead Hearts Press, where words come alive and writers come first!

We're not just another publishing house; we're a community of passionate creators dedicated to nurturing and championing unique voices in literature. Founded on the belief that every story deserves to be told, we strive to break free from the constraints of mainstream publishing and celebrate the diversity of human expression. Especially the bad, the ugly, and the plain old ‘just fucking weird’.

At Dead Hearts, we're committed to empowering authors to share their narratives authentically. We believe that great storytelling knows no bounds, and we embrace stories that challenge conventions, provoke thought, and stir the soul.

Our approach is personal and collaborative. We work closely with our authors every step of the way, from the initial manuscript to the final printed page. We seek to galvanize the traditional avenue to publishing by putting writers first.

But we're not just here for the authors, we're here for the readers too. We're passionate about connecting readers with compelling stories that resonate with them on a deep level. For people who seek to find themselves in the wilds outside of the manufactured market, we believe you’ll find something special within our pages.

Dead Hearts Press is more than just a publishing company; it’s a shared dream, fueled by a love for the written word and our belief in the power of storytelling. Join us on this journey as we continue to discover, nurture, and celebrate the voices of those too often relegated to the cheap seats.

Thank you for being a part of our story.

Best,

McKenna Lumley
