Endless TBRs. Overhyped trends. DNF after DNF.
With so many options out there, it’s easy to spend more time searching for the right books than actually reading them.
And the ones you do pick often feel like copies of something else.
In 2020, I created Lost Island Press for readers who want consistently good stories—minus the guesswork.
So you can start reading, and Get Lost.
If you like one, you’ll like them all.
Unlike big publishers, we don’t release thousands of books a year.
We publish a handful of books we truly believe in.
Risky, original ideas come first.
This is Lost Island.
