An independent literary press
Books for a more
curious life.
A little closer to life.
We publish fiction, poetry, memoir, non-fiction, children's literature, and other thoughtful works that invite us to stay curious — about ourselves, one another, and the world unfolding around us.
Children’s literature
The Great Dandelion
Our first published title, The Great Dandelion is a beautifully illustrated children's book and the beginning of the LTBL Press catalogue.
Why we publish
We believe books
can help us stay curious.
To pause, to wonder, and to be here — in this life, in this moment.
About the people around us.
About the places we call home.
About beauty, loss, wonder, faith, memory, nature, and all the quiet things that make a life.
LTBL Press exists to publish work that stays with you — not simply because of what happens on the page, but because of the questions you carry into the world after you close the book.
