As an independent publishing company, Push Pull Books is fueled with an outsider vibe.

We cozy to outcasts and underdogs, and search for creative talent outside expected places.

We seek talent nurtured by real life, in all its messy struggle and shine. We admire creative people with busy lives: the weary waitress writing late at night, the roofer jotting lines at lunch, mothers penning poems while kids cling to hips, and wandering teens finding their way.

For us, words serve as lifeline and link. We're soft for stumblers and stragglers, the small but strong voices saying I was here.
