Caliber Press is an independent publishing house based in Tacoma, Washington, committed to bold voices, fresh ideas, and the power of a well-told story. Whether it’s fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or something that blurs the lines, we believe every book has the potential to connect, inspire, and leave a mark.
We’re not just a press—we’re a partner. At Caliber Press, we work closely with authors at every stage of their creative journey, from seasoned writers ready to bring their next vision to life, to first-time authors still finding their voice. We understand the challenges of breaking into publishing, and we’re here to make that process approachable, empowering, and transparent.
We publish what moves us. That means we’re open to all genres and formats—novels, memoirs, short story collections, poetry chapbooks, hybrid work, and beyond. If it has passion and purpose, it belongs here.
