TO PROVIDE A FRESH, AUTHOR-CENTRIC, AND NO-BULLSHIT APPROACH TO CONTEMPORARY NON-FICTION PUBLISHING.

MISSION

If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, you must be the one to write it.

—Toni Morrison

“The team at Racket Publishing is phenomenal. I absolutely love how my book turned out.”

—MICHELLE ANN GITLITZ, AUTHOR OF REIMAGINING PAYMENTS

A Word From Our Founder

Traditional publishing has been broken for decades. Ask any author who’s been through the process. With the notable exceptions of A-listers like Michael Lewis and Malcolm Gladwell, complaints about marketing, production, order fulfillment, book quality, value, and overall experience are rampant.

Against this backdrop, many first-time and even experienced authors have opted for subsidy presses and other self-publishing chop shops. These low-cost, high-volume outfits, however, are a different kettle of fish. They typically assign the next person up to work on key aspects of authors’ books: editing, interior and cover design, indexing, and the like. Maybe those folks are qualified to make your vision a reality. Maybe not. You’re rolling the dice.

Racket operates in a fundamentally different way. Its team of experienced professionals has successfully completed hundreds of non-fiction books. Rest assured: You’re in excellent hands. What’s more, Racket embraces sophisticated project-management and collaboration tools to:

  • Maximize transparency, enjoyment, and the chance that your writing project goes smoothly. (Yes, writing a book is time-consuming and challenging, but it should also be fun.)
  • Minimize the cost and time to complete each project.

If all of this sounds appealing, we’d love to hear from you.
