On the horizon

Every bookshelf
starts with a story.

Ours is just beginning.
Book announcements, cover reveals, and release details will find their home here.

Our opening chapter

Something worth
looking forward to.

We’re building a home for stories that invite you to imagine more. The first titles and publication details are still to be announced.

Until then, meet John Oldroyd and explore the writing behind the next chapter.

The spirit of the press

Keep a little
wonder close.

A book can be a small light: a doorway into an unfamiliar world, a companion on a long evening, a story you carry with you after the last page.

That’s the feeling behind Golden Candle Press.
