Who we are
We’re a hybrid micro-press for speculative fiction that champions marginalized voices. We’ve heard the horror stories. Vanity presses. Bad actors. Endless queries.
No more.
Our mission is to cut through industry gatekeeping and bring bold, unforgettable stories to readers who crave something different while prioritizing authors first.
Founded by author, illustrator, and educator Tycho Dwelis (he/him), Liminal House blends indie spirit with professional polish. With experience in crowdfunding, publishing, and book marketing, Tycho knows what it takes to turn rebel stories into books that inspire, disrupt, and endure.
We open doors. You tell the story.
About Tycho
Tycho is an award-winning author fed up with publishing. After working in the publishing industry as a marketer for five years, he realized one thing: the market favors gatekeepers. He found success self-publishing, but also saw how many indie authors fell prey to vanity presses, scams, and confusing marketing advice. After deciding that enough was enough, Liminal House was born.
