Tule’s one goal is to publish fantastic stories by the best writers. We want to delight our readers and satisfy our authors’ desire for creativity, freedom, and commercial success. Many of our authors are from the traditional NY world of publishing, with an existing reader fan base.

Our books are the heart of our site, our business, and our passion. We have imprints to suit every mood and taste — and there are more, coming soon!

The authors we publish all have unique styles and terrific voices. You’ll become a big fan, if you aren’t already!

Want to learn about new books, coming events, maybe a contest or two? Sign up for our newsletter to stay informed about what’s going on – special offers, contests and the inside scoop on all the action.

As an author, can I use a pseudonym or stock photo to represent myself?
