Books about music, sports nostalgia, reinvention, and the odd comedy of being human. Thoughtful fiction and nonfiction that feels lived-in, personal, and human.
What This Press is About
Lighthouse & Lyric Press publishes thoughtful fiction and nonfiction across music, sports nostalgia, humor, and reinvention later in life, books that feel lived-in, personal, and human. Every project begins with research, memory, and lived experience, not algorithms or trends.
Our Editorial Approach
We’re interested in work that carries weight, rewards attention, and still makes sense years from now. We don’t rush releases. We don’t pad pages. And we don’t publish for spikes or shortcuts. If a book comes from Lighthouse & Lyric Press, it’s because it had something worth saying, and said it carefully.
A Title ToTurn To
We believe books still matter, especially the ones written without haste. The right title finds you at the right moment, and stays with you long after. That’s the only kind of book we’re interested in making.
Our Featured Authors
Every press has the authors that define it. These are three currently some of ours.
Martin Hale
The Archivist of Sports’ Strangest Moments
Martin Hale writes about the moments in sports history that the final score was never enough to explain. His books bring measured precision to the performances that broke records, the collapses nobody saw coming, and the endings that still don’t sit right decades later. For readers who want the human story behind the numbers, Hale delivers it without sentimentality and without shortcuts.
Louise Dawn Morgan
The Architect of Slow-Burn Romance
Louise Dawn Morgan writes contemporary romances where the tension is slow, the emotions are layered, and the distance between two people who clearly belong together is the entire story. Her books are set against modern urban backdrops and built around the quiet spaces, the almost-said things, the almost-moments, that make the resolution feel genuinely earned rather than inevitable.
Alex Tomas Calder
The Cartographer of Useful Thinking
Alex Tomas Calder writes practical nonfiction for people who want to understand the tools reshaping how they work, think, and communicate. His From Zero to Fluent series, three volumes taking readers from first principles to advanced mastery of AI, has become the most direct and honest guide available to anyone who wants to work with Claude without the hype and without the overwhelm. He writes, as he puts it, without illusions about outcomes and with a consistent preference for clarity over optimism.
LIGHTHOUSE AND LYRIC PRESS HAS BOOKS
Lighthouse and Lyric Press publishes books for readers who are paying attention. Our catalog spans practical nonfiction and fictional memoir, music history and slow-burn romance, satirical humor and the quiet, necessary work of figuring out what comes next. What connects our authors, Alex Tomas Calder, Brooke Winslow, Morgan Winslow, Gabriel Harroch, Gabriel Miles Harper, Louise Dawn Morgan, Lillian Westwood, Lance Blathersby, and Martin Hale, is not genre or subject matter but a shared commitment to writing that respects the reader's intelligence and doesn't mistake clarity for simplicity. We are a small press. We publish quietly and carefully. We believe the right book, in the right hands, at the right moment, is still one of the most useful things in the world.
