Last Light Books

A letter is a small light, sent onward.

The Letter

To Our Readers

First, thank you

You found us.

Out of every shelf in the world, you gave a small house your evenings. We don't take that lightly. Every page you stay up for is the reason this house exists. Thank you for trusting our authors with your nights, your commutes, and that one last chapter you promised yourself you wouldn't read.

And our door is open. Tell us which stories you long for. Tell us about an author we should be reading, or one the world hasn't discovered yet. The best ideas in this house have always arrived by letter.

To the Ones Still Writing

An open door for writers, new and seasoned

Every story deserves its hour of light.

To the young writer holding a first draft, and to the seasoned one with a manuscript that has waited years in a drawer: we believe the light of your writing deserves to reach the world.

We are a young house, born on the internet, and we read without prejudice. There are no gatekeepers here and no polite form letters. The old rules were made for old doors, and we didn't inherit any.

Some books become great lights. Others simply keep one reader company at midnight. Both are why we exist. We would be honored to help yours find its readers.

The lamp is lit. Write to us.

Our letterbox opens soon. Until then, the Reading Lamp below reaches us too.
