About the house

A small press for quietly magical fiction.

We publish the kind of books you want to take with you into the woods.

Chapter & Pine is a small, deliberate publishing house with a single preoccupation: putting out the sort of warm, literary, quietly magical fiction that readers actually want to live inside. We are cozy-shelf adjacent — with room for anything tender, careful, and slightly strange at the edges.

We sell direct because it lets us look after our authors properly and send you clean, DRM-free files that belong to you the moment they're paid for. Our catalog will stay small. That's not a compromise; it's the point.

How we work

  • Authors first. Fair terms. Direct sales. No opaque algorithms deciding who gets read.
  • Files that belong to you. No DRM. No account requirements for reading. Buy once, keep always.
  • Slow publishing. A handful of titles a year, made with care.
  • Quiet by default. No upsell carousels. No dark patterns. No noise.
