Thalia Press publishes crime and contemporary fiction. We reissue previously out-of-print titles for traditionally-published authors, sponsor anthologies of work by multiple authors in the same genre, and publish original titles throughout the year. Our books range from the funny to the serious but are always entertaining.

What We Believe
- Quality of writing always matters.
- All good fiction begins with strong plotting, appopriate pacing, and strong characterizations.
- Humor is a great way to let readers tackle painful topics like life and death without being overwhelmed by emotion.
- Not all books need to appeal to the masses.
How We Got Our Name
Thalia Press is named for the goddess Thalia, one of the Greek muses who presided over comedy and poetry. She is often seen smiling at an untold joke, with a bugle and an actor’s mask in her hands. Thalia Press is named for the goddess Thalia, one of the Greek muses who presided over comedy and poetry. She is often seen smiling at an untold joke, with a bugle and an actor’s mask in her hands. In our books we try to portray the two sides of life, the good and bad, the evil and the pious, all while keeping an eye on one of the greatest joys of life: laughter. We bring you stories you can relate to, about ordinary people (and some not so ordinary), about the past and how it informs us, and about the way we live now. We hope you enjoy reading our author’s books as much as they enjoy writing them.
