Independent publishing house

Unique stories that cross borders and connect humanity.

Books to mull over. Books that make you think, ponder and explore — the limit is the stars.

About Mullstar

Mullstar Press is a small, independent publishing house. We publish books that offer new, different, or particular ways of looking at the world.

We look for books that allow cross-cultural experiences, and for works that, translated from their original language, expand horizons and cross borders. Books that stay with you: the kind that have you spending the day pondering the chapter you read last night, and bringing it into your life.

What we publish

  • 01

    Fiction

    Novels and stories that are neither cliché nor formulaic, and that engage the reader without tricks.

  • 02

    Non-fiction & history

    Narrative non-fiction and history that illuminate places, people and ideas beyond our own borders.

  • 03

    Memoir & personal essays

    Lived experience, told honestly. We know who you are by the stories you tell.

  • 04

    Translations

    Remarkable works not yet available in English, carried across languages with care.

Books written by humans, for humans.

In the age of artificial intelligence, we believe that telling stories in words remains an essentially human act.

For authors

Your words.
Your book.

We are seeking authors who connect with people by sharing their human experience in writing.

We are looking for:

  • Authors with a new and interesting view of the world.
  • Writers who have something smart and unusual to say, even if they fear no one will listen.
  • Books that are not clichéd or formulaic, and that engage the reader without tricks.
  • Stories that, by sharing experience, help humanity connect.

How to submit

Send us a short query letter, a one-page synopsis and the first three chapters (or around 50 pages) of your manuscript. We read every submission.
