Vision
Curious Moss Publishing envisions a world where ideas grow in the cracks of the expected, reshaping minds, communities, and realities. We believe in the power of storytelling as a force of transformation, one that nurtures spiritual exploration, challenges rigid systems, and makes space for ways of thinking and being that defy categorization. Rooted in the wisdom of the unseen, the unconventional, and the quietly radical, we are building a home for voices that dissolve norms, expand consciousness, and spark meaningful change.
Mission
Curious Moss Publishing is dedicated to amplifying works that foster personal and collective transformation. We publish books that challenge dominant narratives, offer new frameworks for understanding self and society, and reimagine what is possible. Informed by spiritual inquiry, radical imagination, and a deep respect for perspectives that exist beyond binaries, we create space for works that resist stagnation and invite evolution. Through ethical publishing practices and author-centered collaboration, we ensure that bold, unconventional ideas take root and thrive.
Curious Moss Publishing will feature a range of imprints, including those dedicated to spiritual works and LGBTQ+, BIPOC and other progressive voices. These imprints will carry forward our mission of amplifying unconventional, transformative ideas that resist rigid categorization.
Our authors retain the rights to their work, and we are committed to publishing with integrity, collaboration, and the belief that ideas, like moss, can take root anywhere and thrive in unexpected places and grow into wild, beautiful things. Moss is more than a quiet presence in the forest, it is an agent of transformation, softening stone, breaking down rock into the rich soil that nourishes new life. In the same way, stories and ideas have the power to erode rigid structures, reshape understanding, and lay the foundation for growth. What was once unyielding becomes fertile ground for change, for awakening, for something entirely new. At Curious Moss Publishing, we honor this process, providing a space where visionary voices can expand, evolve, and create lasting impact.
Values & Ethics
Curious Moss Publishing is built on a foundation of ethical publishing, transparency, and radical integrity. We believe that books have the power to shift paradigms, and the way they are published should reflect the same transformative principles. Largely aspirational in this developmental phase of our evolution, our guiding values include:
Author-Centric Publishing – We honor the creative vision and autonomy of our authors, ensuring they retain full rights and decision-making power over their work.
Transparency & Fairness – Our contracts, pricing, and processes will be clear, ethical, and upfront... no hidden fees, no predatory practices, no exploitation.
Collaborative & Supportive – Publishing should be a partnership, not a power imbalance. We work with authors to co-create a book’s journey, offering guidance without coercion.
Rooted in Justice & Community Care – We prioritize independent booksellers, ethical production methods, and sustainable business practices over profit-driven norms. Our model centers integrity, collaboration, and reciprocity, choosing depth over scale, relationships over algorithms, and long-term impact over short-term gain.
Diversity of Thought & Expression – We celebrate unconventional, subversive, and boundary-pushing narratives in spirituality, life on earth, environmental humanities and social justice, welcoming perspectives that challenge mainstream discourse.
Sustainability & Responsibility – We strive for eco-conscious publishing methods, mindful of the environmental impact of book production and distribution. This will be evolving over time. (Print On Demand helps prevent waste!)
