About DragonWorks

An independent press for fantasy, fiction, and the authors who write it.

DragonWorks Publishing began with a simple belief: good stories deserve a home that treats them — and their authors — with care. We publish the founder's work, partner authors, and a family of pen names, all under one house that readers can trust.

What we do

We acquire, edit, package, and sell fantasy and fiction across three imprints — Core, Ironquill, and Hearthlight — selling direct to readers and through every major retailer. We also build tools for writers, including WordCrafter.Pro.

What we value

Author-first

Fair terms, real editorial support, and visibility for every name on our list.

Craft

Stories that are built to last — structurally sound, voice-driven, and well made.

Independence

We answer to readers and writers, not a corporate catalog.

Work with us

We open to submissions periodically and are always glad to hear from authors, reviewers, and rights partners. Reach out any time.
