About

Sterncastle Publishing is an independent, traditional publisher specializing in the genres of fiction, folklore, poetry, memoir, and biography. Established in 2022 in the seaside haven of Newport, OR Sterncastle exists to broaden the literary landscape by creating more opportunities for publication for those commonly boxed out of the mainstream publishing world including authors who identify as Black, Latino, Indigenous, Veterans, Women, Under 21, and LGBTQ+.

Sterncastle is an author-centered publisher which seeks to ensure that our authors get a higher percentage of the earnings that their work generates. In addition to publishing we also operate a retail book and apparel component and sponsor community based writing groups that are free to members.
