City Owl Press is a cutting edge indie publishing company, bringing the world of romance and speculative fiction to eager readers. The company was co-founded by media savvy, award-winning authors, Yelena Casale and Tina Moss. Together they bring more than a decade of business, writing, editing, design, marketing, advertising, and publishing experience.

“City Owl is unique in its well-rounded approach to meet the needs of both the reader and the author,” said co-founder Tina Moss.

City Owl Press focuses on fresh dynamic stories at affordable prices, book variety and purchasing power for every reader, and diverse opportunities to connect with authors. Every book receives strong marketing and promotion, quality designer covers, and rock solid editing. 

“We believe in connecting every book with the right reader and every reader with the right book,” said co-founder Yelena Casale.

The first title from City Owl Press will come out in October 2014, with four additional books coming to the market throughout 2015.
