TESSERA PRESS

Stories assembled with care

Something new is taking shape.

Tessera Press is an independent publishing house dedicated to speculative fiction, literary fiction, and stories that linger long after the last page. Our first titles are in development now.

About the Press

A tessera is a single tile in a mosaic. Alone, it holds color and texture. Together with others, it becomes a picture.

That's how we think about publishing. Every element of a book matters: the prose, the design, the way it reaches readers. We bring them together with intention, combining human editorial vision with modern tools to create books that stand apart.

Based in Michigan. Founded 2026.
