Homeward Books
Description
Homeward is a small press. We publish books that defy the constraints of genre, because we believe that weird, brave, complex stories deserve a home.
We’re primarily interested in speculative fiction—science fiction, fantasy and horror—and books that don’t fit easily into any one category. The four of us started Homeward primarily in order to publish books that struggle to find a traditional publisher because they're difficult, slippery, weird, genre-bending, or otherwise unmarketable.
