An Independent Publishing House

TEN WEST P U B L I S H I N G

The corner where stories gather.

A small independent house for character-driven, romance-forward fiction with heart — the kind of stories that make you feel something and stay with you.

Nº I · The House

A small house with a long memory

Craft first. Voice always. Readers above all.

Ten West is an independent publishing house built on a simple conviction: the best stories make you feel something, and they stay with you. We champion a handful of authors at a time, put craft and voice first, and treat every book like it matters — because it does.

Romance-forward and character-driven, our list is unafraid of the hard, human stuff: longing, grief, second chances, and the courage it takes to be truly seen.

Nº IV · For Authors

An open invitation

Think you belong at Ten West?

We're a small house, and we take on only a few new authors at a time — writers with a distinct voice and a story that earns its ending. No agent required. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear about your book.

What to send — a short note about you, a one-paragraph pitch, and your first chapter (or a link to it). We read everything and aim to reply within six weeks.
