About Us
Outcast Books began not with a business plan or publishing roadmap—but with whispered bedtime stories between a father and son.
It started simply. A young child, wide-eyed with wonder. A father, spinning stories at night—some borrowed, some invented, all unforgettable. As time passed, those stories traveled with them. Road trips turned into rolling brainstorming sessions. What began with fairy tales and “what ifs” slowly matured into something more—something shared.
The earliest books, including Outcast, were born from that foundational love of storytelling. Built in quiet hours and sleepless nights, those first pages were a father’s attempt to create a world worth returning to. But as years passed, the stories began to evolve—because now, they had two voices.
The son, once the listener, had grown into a creator of his own. And with that came their first true collaboration: The Tempest Project. A story co-written not just in ink, but in trust, perspective, and a creative rhythm they’d been quietly building for years.
Today, Outcast Books is the continuation of that journey—one born in stories, deepened in family, and carried forward by a new generation. What started as a father’s vision has become a shared mission to tell bold, imaginative, emotionally resonant stories that stay with you long after the last page.
We publish across genres—science fiction, memoir, children’s books, and more—with one constant: we tell stories that matter.
Thank you for being here. Whether you’ve followed our journey since the first book or discovered us just recently, you’re part of the story now too.
Because at Outcast Books, we don’t just publish pages—we build worlds.
