Overview

Leapfrog Press was created to search out, publish, and market books that tell a strong story. Our list is eclectic and includes quality fiction, poetry, and nonfiction; books that are described by the large commercial publishers as midlist, and which we regard as the heart and soul of literature. We're always on the lookout for new talent. Some of our best writers have trouble placing their books with the conglomerate-owned publishing houses because their books are not perceived as best-seller material. We see ourselves as a home to new works by accomplished writers and works by those just starting out. We're keenly aware that good writing is only the beginning. A successful book must be guided through its journey to reach the right audience. Our publishing program includes hardcover and paperback originals as well as revised and repackaged trade paperbacks. What we promise is writing that expands our webs of connection with other humans and the natural world; books that illuminate our complexities; tough, unsentimental books about our difficult and sometimes insanely funny choices in life and how we make them.
