Claret

Publisher info

Claret Press is small but serious about publishing.

As a small indie press, we publish in a wide range of genres, fiction and non-fiction, from very commercial to less so. Although this isn't a rule we strictly follow, we mostly publish middle school and young adult cross-over.

To date, seven of our books have been turned into audiobooks with a New York audio book firm, Essential AudioBooks, Brushstrokes in Time by Sylvia Vetta has been translated into German with Drachenhaus Verlag, and two are being considered for republishing with a large American publishing house.

Our books can be ordered through any bookstore or through eplatforms like Book Depository and Amazon. All our books are also available as ebooks.

We're passionate about our books; we wouldn't publishing them if we didn't think that they deserved the widest possible audience. We don't ask for any money from the authors we publish, not a dime. We meet all costs of editing, designing, publishing and marketing our books.

The Claret Press team has considerable experience in editing, design, and marketing. Our YA thriller, BlackOut by Sam Grenfall, was an award-winning finalist for the International Book Award: Fiction Covers. All Claret Press books are professionally edited, have fabulous cover designs and are promoted.
