Traditional Publishing
Wildling is proud to offer traditional publishing to exceptional stories that fit our mission.
Wildling Traditional Publishing
Wildling Press is committed to breaking down the barriers to publication for those traditionally marginalized by the publishing industry. This means we're looking to traditionally publish books by, about, or for people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community and non-binary folks, women, those living with disabilities, and all others who fit within our mission.
From those that meet our mission, we're looking for stories that surprise us, make us think, then settle in our bones like a wild seed and take root there, growing as we grow, guiding the way we see humanity. We're looking for stories we can’t shake. We’re looking for authors who use their strong command of written language and the craft of storytelling in a clear and unique voice.
We also offer transparent educational resources about the publishing industry, to better empower authors to share their stories with the world.
