Come read with us.

Stories matter. They shape cultures, preserve traditions, and pass truth from one generation to the next.

At Conservatarian Press, we’re here for one simple reason: to publish the kind of stories the mainstream industry is leaving behind — the ones chosen on merit, not on checkboxes.

I’ve loved stories since I was a child, curled up with Tolkien, Carroll, Lewis, MacDonald, and Shakespeare. Yes, I treasure Jane Austen too, but let’s be honest: most of the Western literary canon was written by men now dismissed as “out of fashion.” Their works still inspire, still endure — and so should today’s writers, no matter who they are.

That’s why we promise one thing: we will never choose a story based on sex, ethnicity, orientation, or any other label. We publish good stories, period. In fact, the list of what’s considered “unpublishable” by the mainstream seems to grow every day — which only makes our mission more urgent, and more joyful.
