Unleash Your Story

At Launchpad Press, we believe every writer deserves the opportunity to be heard. Our mission is to support authors in the crime and thriller genres by removing unnecessary barriers and offering an open, accessible path to publication.

While traditional publishing often hinges on the tastes of a single gatekeeper, we take a broader view. We understand that storytelling is subjective, and powerful writing can come from unexpected places. That’s why we aim to create space for diverse voices and bold new ideas — not just the ones that fit a narrow mould.

We can’t publish everything, but we carefully review every submission with an open mind. If we believe we can support the story and its author well, we will. Our focus is on collaboration, transparency, and championing writers who might otherwise be overlooked.

At Launchpad Press, our goal is simple: to help authors bring their stories to life — and connect them with readers who are ready to listen.

About Launchpad Press

At Launchpad Press, we empower first-time authors in the crime/thriller genre to bypass the traditional barriers of agents and gatekeepers.
We believe that no single person should hold the power to decide whether a book is worthy of being published.
Art should be judged by many perspectives, not one.
We provide authors with the platform to publish on their own terms, helping them bring their stories to life and connect with readers who appreciate their unique voices.
