Fountain & Key Press is an independent publishing house for books that matter. We carry a title from first draft to finished shelf — editorial, design, ISBN, and worldwide distribution — with care and craft at every step.
Now accepting manuscripts for the 2026 list.
What we do
Writing tools can help you draft. A publisher helps you arrive. We pair rigorous editorial judgment with beautiful production, so your book reaches readers looking — and reading — its very best.
From our catalog
The first Fountain & Key Press titles are in production — the bookstore opens with the 2026 list.
The publishing path
Send us your manuscript or proposal. Every submission is read by a real editor.
We assess originality, craft, and fit — then offer honest, specific editorial direction.
Editing, cover design, typesetting, and ISBN. Your book made ready for the world.
Bookstore placement, an author page, and a launch plan that helps readers find it.
Author.OS is our AI-assisted writing studio. Start from a single idea, draft the whole book with guidance, and submit it straight into F&K editorial review — the same selective path every title takes.
