Smart, fast-paced stories that never underestimate the reader.
Surprisingly Adequate Publishing is an independent imprint focused on smart, fast-paced speculative fiction that respects the reader’s intelligence. We publish stories driven by strong characters, sharp ideas, and momentum—without bloat, filler, or unnecessary polish for polish’s sake. The name is tongue-in-cheek; the commitment to quality is not. Our goal is simple: deliver engaging, thoughtful stories that entertain first and linger after the last page.
Legally, Surprisingly Adequate Publishing is an author-owned company currently focused wholly on the works of Rachel Aukes. When you see books released under this brand, you'll know 2 things:
1. That book was written and published by yours truly (vs. being published through a traditional publishing house); and
2. That book has undergone the best editing, proofreading, and formatting available in the industry.
That means, you can purchase one of my books and know you won't be disappointed in the quality.
All trade paperbacks are available through Ingram upon release, with a discount for booksellers and libraries. If you need assistance in ordering copies, contact me at [email protected].
If you are a writer, please note that we are not accepting submissions at this time.
