Creative Freedom

We know the hard work and dedication it takes to write a book. Lucciola authors automatically have more creative ownership over their  work, including design & marketing.

Enthusiastically Us

It was love at first sight with your story. We won't be publisher and author, we're a supportive and collaborative partnership, tailoring every aspect for our joint success.  

Censorship Ban

We're banning the banning of books. 'Too dark' or 'too taboo' content is welcomed and expected here. Your stories are worth telling and deserve to be heard.

What We Crave

we're constantly on the hunt for our next book to devour.

Captivating Stories

We're after stories that make us put the book down and question our sanity, but also inspire us to live our full badass life.

Anti-Status Quo Characters

Diverse characters who are unapologetically themselves... yes please! Morally gray and anti-hero characters especially welcomed.

Infatuating Romances

Let us believe that unconditional love really exists beyond the pages with
swoon-worthy
main characters and pearl-clutching moments.
