Icarus Press Publishing

Bringing Authors and Readers Together

Icarus Press was born out of a small group of authors and publishing professionals as a way to enable authors, to help them realize the dream of delivering books to readers. The publishing industry has changed substantially in the past ten years. While traditional print publishing has always been difficult to break into, self-publishing opened a door that was closed to many talented authors. This is due in no small part to the obstacles that must be navigated to publish traditionally. However, self-publishing has grown to such a point that getting noticed has become a new and unwieldy problem for authors and readers alike.

Putting books in front of readers is no small task. Recent estimates show that around 7,000 new books are published each day. With such a rapidly-growing list of choices, the publishers at Icarus Press saw an opportunity: a marketplace for independent authors, run by independent authors.
