Dreamland Books is a new small press from author Sara Gran. The first title is The Book of the Most Precious Substance, an erotic thriller by Sara Gran, released in February 2022. Sara Gran is the author of seven previous books including Come Closer, Claire DeWitt & the City of the Dead, and Marigold.

Dreamland Books was born out of Gran’s life-long love of books, and years of working with books as an author, collector, retail bookseller, and rare-book dealer. Gran’s goals for the press are both creative—to publish excellent books in beautiful packages—and practical—to have more control over her own work, ensure it stays in print, and give other writers the same option for more creative and financial ownership of their work.

Dreamland Books will publish Sara Gran’s forthcoming works, and an additional 2-4 titles a year from other authors. Selection of titles to publish will be guided by Gran’s own idiosyncratic tastes and her desire to connect writers she admires with their audience, tiny or huge as that audience may be.

For now, Gran will be publishing trade editions, to be widely distributed through all ordinary channels, but plans are in the works for limited edition prints and fine-press editions.

For now, Dreamland Books is not open to submissions. For all other questions, including press and rights inquiries, please drop us a note.
