About Us

Per Aspera Press takes its name from the Latin motto Ad Astra Per Aspera, which translates as ‘To the stars through difficulties.’ ‘Per Aspera’ — ‘through difficulties’ — speaks to our commitment as publishers and authors to succeed despite the many obstacles that face small publishers.

We are passionate about publishing quality fiction, including the many excellent manuscripts rejected by corporate publishers as insufficiently commercial. And we are enthusiastic about reclaiming the tradition of nurturing new authors.
