A historic name.
Revived.
A new era
of publishing.
A revived self publishing company helping authors across genres develop, publish, distribute, and market professional books while you keep full ownership and control.
We believe a book should be carefully shaped, beautifully presented, intelligently positioned, and built to remain meaningful long after launch day.
Rooted in
history,
reimagined for
today.
Not a replica of the past a modern self-publishing company, established in 2012, honoring that history without being confined by it.
Editorial judgment, intentional design, production planning, and distribution strategy guide every manuscript from first draft to publication.
One story.
Every essential stage.
From an early manuscript to a professionally released book, each discipline supports the next.
Books with a distinct
point of view.

Cupples & Leon
Publishing philosophy
Questions before
you begin.
Cupples & Leon proudly carries forward the legacy of the original publishing house founded in 1902. The company was revived in 2012 under new ownership, bringing its historic name into a new era. We clearly distinguish the documented history of the original house from the operations of today’s company while honoring the publishing heritage associated with the Cupples & Leon name.
Fiction, nonfiction, children’s and young adult, memoir and biography, poetry, comics and graphic narratives, business, and more.
We help position your book for the strongest possible market opportunity through professional publishing services and distribution access. Sales and bookstore placement ultimately depend on factors such as reader demand, retailer decisions, market conditions, and the book’s overall performance. Our focus is on giving your title the professional foundation, availability, and support it needs to compete effectively in the marketplace.
