A new paradigm in independent Paranormal and Steampunk publishing. With inspiring writers, innovative printing strategies, and a progressive editorial staff, The X plays a key role in defining the emerging domain of independent publishing.

The X focuses on Paranormal and Steampunk but welcomes submissions from other fiction genres, such as Mystery and Fantasy, in its leading role as the first 'imprint' of Hamilton Springs Press. At The X we pride ourselves on grooming and introducing to the world exciting new authors committed to their craft.

We provide complete publishing services. Our professional editors, designers, and marketing staff produce books of the highest quality. The success of our authors is our own.

Make yourself part of the magic. See our submissions page for complete instructions in sending your work, and let us help you tell your story.

The X endorses the life-long process of education. We can always find something new to learn. Visit our blog for inspiration, book reviews, special features, and a look inside the independent publishing world. Give your stories the polish and edge they deserve.
