Who We Are

King_Ape2_comp

“A dedicated team of authors, editors, and artists — the New Royalty — commands the keys to their Kingdom.” - King Ape

 
We’re an emerging small press publisher, formed in 2011. Ours is a new business model for the industry, one that we think is rather bold and exciting. At the heart of everything we do is the simple commitment to give readers the high-quality, compelling, interesting, fun, funny, or heartwarming entertainment they want.

Quality is Job One: This is not only our mantra; it’s practically our religion.

Toward that end, the stars around which the rest of our organization orbits are the authors. Their work is the locomotive for our train.
