—- ABOUT THE PRESS
WE PUBLISH WHAT OTHERS
WON’T
Candy Riot Press is an independent publishing house for readers who want their books to do more than behave. We publish literary erotica, bubblegum horror, urban fantasy, and romance — all of it written with intention, edited with rigor, and released without apology.
We exist for the writers who don't fit a box and the readers who never wanted one.

Your book belongs here
We're actively looking for voices in literary erotica, bubblegum horror, urban fantasy, and romance. If your manuscript is too strange, too sharp, or too much — send it our way.
