Riptide Publishing

Riptide Publishing is a boutique publisher of some of the finest LGBTQ fiction available today. Created by industry veterans and LGBTQ authors who were hungry for better editing, marketing support, and production values than queer fiction typically sees, Riptide Publishing brings a Manhattan quality aesthetic to small-press, author-friendly publishing—and in doing so, elevates and integrates positive LGBTQ representation into the mainstream. Riptide Publishing now fills a critical niche in the literary and genre fiction markets: excellent books, pristinely packaged, that satisfy readers’ desires for high-quality, queer-positive stories, both with and without queer-focused narratives.
