Welcome.

Welcome to Scarletta Press. Regardless of genre, we take time and attention to find new voices and opinions missing from the publishing world. As a small press we can nurture those authors overlooked by bigger companies. Yet through our partnership with PGW/Perseus, we are part of the largest independent distribution group in the U.S. Discover why our books are better.
