About Us

Wakestone Press was founded on the belief that neither authors nor stories get proper attention, and that new technologies make small publishing houses fun and viable.

Currently we are publishing under two imprints: Wakestone Press focuses on non-fiction stories, biographies, lifestyle and advice; Moonshadow Press focuses on fiction, primarily for young adults.

Wakestone Press looks for authors who, with the right team and support, can break out of the crowded, chaotic catalog of books, and get their stories widely read.

We love the current confusing pace of the publishing business with its challenges in distribution, technology, marketing and consumption. We think that these market challenges are an exciting time to bring both new and old stories to readers in a variety of forms and formats.

Our experience in a wide range of publishing ventures has led us to understand that the media world is an either/and world, where readers want to have both short- and long-form stories, in print and digital formats, in multi-media and one-dimensional media. Our goal is to enable authors to tell and sell their stories and make them a part of our culture.

We are rabidly interested in interesting authors and will review a broad range of stories and genres.
