Journey Press began as a natural outgrowth of the Hugo Finalist web project, Galactic Journey. That Journey’s mission is to rediscover the science fiction and fantasy gems of the past, making them accessible once more to the modern audience.

We thought: instead of just spotlighting the forgotten classics, what if we started reprinting them? And once we had established a publishing house, why not use the same structure to discover new talent creating works with the same quality and sense of wonder?

Thus, Journey Press was born in 2019 with the goal of bringing unusual and diverse science fiction to the forefront of the publishing landscape. We are dedicated not only to modern science fiction, but also to elevating classics that have fallen by the wayside. You’ll find us supporting the women and queer people who have been erased from the history books and reprinting novels that fell by the wayside in addition to publishing new novels by creators of all types.
