Publish with us

Serious fiction needs a lasting home.

Sugar Farm welcomes literary, speculative, and genre fiction with a clear point of view. We work with established writers and compelling new voices making ambitious books.

We build the release with the author, from development through production and the path to readers. Authors retain copyright. Any publishing arrangement starts with a written, limited license that states the formats, term, territories, money flow, and return of rights.

Editorial partnership
Development, copy editing, cover direction, and a release plan shaped by the book.
Plain economics
A written revenue share, itemized sales statements, and a regular payout schedule.
Defined rights
Only the rights needed to make and sell the edition, with a defined term and reversion path.

Fiction with a point of view.
