Call Us If You Get Lost.

An independent punk publishing house with the goal of uplifting marginalized voices, radical leftist perspectives, and other works that find themselves struggling to gain representation in an otherwise insular and restrictive market.

Introducing Nathrheim Publishing, and a sneak peek at our first project!

Happy Halloween! @elijahrichardwrites, @fearofahumanplanet, @bpdgotmelike, and @thenightmarewrites are eager to announce our latest project - Nathrheim Publishing House, an independent punk publishing house with the goal of uplifting marginalized voices, radical leftist perspectives, and other works that find themselves struggling to gain representation in an otherwise insular and restrictive market.

Our goals?

To seek out and publish marginalized & othered voices of any sort - are you a POC? LGBT? Disabled, visible or not? Suffering a stigmatized disorder (Cluster B folks, line right up)? Lower-class? Any sort of outcast? You're the exact sort of people we're looking to represent. We feel there aren't enough perspectives on the market, and we want to change that.

An approachable, transparent business style. All too often, publishing houses are downright opaque about their intent and their work process, and it's hard to really get your foot in the door when no one will even inform you why you're being rejected. We aim to defy that norm.

We aim to particularly represent daring, provocative, rebellious, offbeat and all-around "weird" voices. Have you been told your work wouldn't sell? We think it will, and we're willing to put money on the line to prove it. We do not require an agent - if you have a story you want published and no one else wants it, send it right to us, we'll take a look.

Please reblog for visibility!!!

We are not open for submissions yet - for now, we plan on publishing our first book and fundraising the money required to take on other authors and publish them too. When we do take submissions, we are especially interested in works from the writeblr community as well as all categories listed above! As for our first book...

Jane Doe's Karma Killer, more info to come :)

Hello and happy Friday! Clearly you’ve been making a lot of progress on editing Miasma (60% on the last update if memory holds?); congrats! What part are you editing now (and what are you editing for)?

Unrelated, but also looking forward to when Karma Killer is officially published—hope that all’s going okay despite the paperwork? setbacks!

66% since this ask was sent :P

I'm rapidly approaching the final act, going into the plague doctor's backstory and trauma and giving all the characters new trauma :D I'm editing it for publication in the future (maybe), but that's a while away as of now

We're still dealing with the paperwork... sending it to another address that UPS hasn't been completely dropping the ball on, so hopefully that will set that whole mess to rest. Once that's done, though, it should be smooth sailing - Karma's pretty much ready, just needs some boring shit like formatting and ISBN :D

Nathrheim Publishing Update (1/9/2023)

Okay, so it's been a while - the holidays hit us like a truck, and also things are going slower than planned. In the ongoing interest of transparency, don't worry - we haven't fucked up, but the government and UPS predictably have, so @elijahrichardwrites is currently practically engaging in a guerilla war with half of this country's institutions to get our damn filing in so we can actually get things going.

In the meantime, we've finished a snazzy logo and banner to distract you with. Ooh, shiny!

Hang in there with us, we're working on it, and pray to whatever deities you may believe in that the government/UPS miraculously has a day where it just works as intended, bc I think that qualifies as miraculous territory :P

Do you have an in-house copyeditor and/or proofreader, or are you contracting with freelancers? :) Either way, I love the sounds of this as both a professional and a writer!

We have one in-house general editor (me, hi! - Jane), but we certainly would be interested in expanding that once we actually have the finances to do so :)

[nathrheimpublishing]

Disabled, lower class, bi author here with three almost finished manuscripts who is totally planning on keeping an eye on this!

Similar boat here for most of us! We eagerly await being able to take submissions :)

Nathrheim Publishing Update (11/28/2022)

So, the gov is being slow. REALLY slow. We still don't have those important papers we need to do anything filed. That's fine, because we're still keeping ourselves busy.

We've got ourselves a pretty presentable skeleton of a website right now, for one - that's going very well, we spent several hours working on it and other things last night. Those other things included: writing out the lengthy and thorough process of what it would take to publish a book, researching the various steps, and we also made a pretty detailed plan of what we hope the next six months or so of this company will look like. All very well and good.

I'm going to start doing some last-minute edits of Karma Killer and get the cover design finished, and then we're going to be able to start formatting that shit for publication.

And hopefully, hopefully, the goddamn government will get back to us soon and we can actually get this ball rolling.

Meanwhile, at Nathrheim Publishing headquarters...

Nathrheim Publishing Update (11/15/22)

I've come to realize this whole exercise of being a "transparent and approachable punk publishing house" is kind of pointless if none of us, you know, say anything.

So here we are. It's been fifteen days since Halloween, when we first announced this, and we're in the great early days of starting a business - big dreams and Sisyphean progress.

The big hold-up right now, to be honest, is that we're waiting for some paperwork to get filed. The government has not been making things quick for us (who'd have thought???), and we can't really hit go on too many things until that's all settled.

What we HAVE done: we have started working on a website. Hurray! We're trying to get some more finalized logos done, and we're currently pouring through a ton of research documents to figure out how exactly we'd go about publishing a book without missing anything. Also, we're setting up an official email (this somehow escaped our notices until very recently. Whoops.)

We'll have a lot more for you folks when that damn paperwork actually comes in.

Also! If there's any information or such any of you specifically want displayed on the website, let us know! This is all for you anyways :)
