Publisher of Jeri Shepherd, Reji Laberje, Maggie McMahon and the following exciting fiction...
Worldly Collection
Four annual anthologies done in partnership with Nerd Street: Otherworldly, Creatureworldly, Netherworldly, and Outerworldly. Experienced and debut authors alike can participate and get paid.
Domainian Dungeons
Based on the genre fiction writing greats available in the Public Domain, these short story collections are modified, grown, and have included Tabletop Roleplaying Games (based on Jeri's Create Your One-Page RPG process) incorporated between the stories so you can journey along with the heroes.
The Book That Goes Wrong
Enjoy delightfully predictable fiction . . . that goes wrong, complete with videos and photos of the writers as they are creating it with crazy audience interactions throwing them off. Produced for entertainment; published for charity, The Book That Goes Wrong is a Red Writes Books exclusive collection.
Treeshaker Books Partnership
Occasionally, I'm honored to work alongside fellow professional anthologist, Christopher D. Schmitz and his imprint, Treeshaker Books. We make beautiful books together for organizations and individual creatives. Check them out!
Apprentice Publications
Lastly, beyond books by Red or these unique referenced collections, I take on apprentices, eighter through my events, or longer term as I coach clients through their works to help them see publication through to the finish line.
Why is my publishing imprint called Lucy's Lantern Literature? Hear the story as shared at Des Moines Con 2026 (a Nerd Street convention) alongside my friends and fellow authors, Darby Harn and Joe Prosit.
