OUR HOME
Boise is more than where we go to work; it is part of our publishing
vision. Why Boise? We feel there is a richness in Boise, a tradition of
caring and thoughtfulness. An understanding of what it feels like to
stand alone and believe.
Boise is open to new ideas and has a great sense of livability. It is
both accessible and authentic. Our “City of Trees” is simple and
sophisticated, urban and at the same time rooted in nature.
This seeming contradiction leads to a creative environment from
which we all benefit—whether you are a digital start-up or a literary
entrepreneurship, Boise is here for us. We want to be Boise’s
publisher, to be part of this cultural landscape. It’s not about where
you are but who you are.
“ All publishing is local.
— CAROLYN REIDY, CEO, Simon & Schuster ”

OUR PROMISE
Amberjack Publishing’s promise is the joy of discovery and the
celebration of flawed characters, along with personal stories which
help readers connect to humanity.
Our authors believe in a world which can be more thoughtful, more
humane, and more beautiful.
We respect the faith that each reader commits to trusting us to share
individual stories that are vital, empathetic, and transformational.
“ Walking into a bookstore
is always a miraculous
experience. On every shelf
another story, another
intimate voice, another new
world waiting between the
covers to be revealed.
”
— TIM APPLEGATE, author of Flamingo Lane and Fever Tree

DAY N A A N D E R S O N A LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Literature for us is neither frontlist nor backlist but on your list to read. Literature isn’t fiction or nonfiction, adult or juvenile. It’s not what a book is about, or its genre, but what a book does for the reader. Amberjack Publishing publishes literature in three distinct book categories that are defined but not limited by age. It’s never too late or too early to share a story. This Amberjack catalog is about voice—about discovering self and speaking our truths. It begins with Girl Boner: The Good Girl’s Guide to Sexual Empowerment, an inclusive voice for sexual joy, wellness, and empowerment. The list goes on to introduce Shade in A Dreadful Fairy Book, a fairy who finds that she is more powerful when she speaks her truth. Carrie Callaghan writes of Judith Leyster in A Light of Her Own, a novel set in 1633 about the first female painter accepted into the Dutch Guild after she speaks loudly and paints boldly. Finally, this idea of the power of voice bookends the catalog with I Am Yours by Reema Zaman. Reema tells the story of her voice, her empowerment, by speaking of how she first murdered her voice to fit into family and cultural expectations. To speak is a revolution, and may our books speak loudly to your personal discovery and voice.
