Where Stories of Resilience Take Root and Imagination Takes Flight
Umbra Print Publishing House was born from a moment of reckoning—an awakening sparked at a prestigious convention in New York City. Amid the glittering panels and powerful discussions, the glaring lack of representation was undeniable. The voices of marginalized communities, the storytellers from the edges, were missing from the center stage. It was in that space—where absence was louder than presence—that the seed of Umbra Print was planted.
A Sanctuary for Bold Voices
Umbra, meaning "shadow," symbolizes the beauty and power of what often goes unseen. We exist to bring those stories into the light. Umbra Print is more than a publishing house; it is the manifestation of resilience, a bold answer to silence, and a sanctuary for voices that defy convention. We are a platform for underrepresented authors, artists, and thinkers whose perspectives are vital to the evolving tapestry of storytelling. We believe diversity is not a trend—it is the truth of our collective existence. History, after all, is a boundless collection of interwoven stories, shaped by every culture, every voice, and every soul brave enough to speak.
Where Imagination Meets Innovation
At Umbra, we celebrate the impossible. Books are vessels of transformation—where the flawed can be heroic, where the smallest can save the world, and where imagination isn’t just welcomed, it’s required. We honor that spirit by daring to publish the kind of stories that push boundaries and rewrite norms. But storytelling is also evolving—and so are we. Umbra Print harnesses cutting-edge, data-driven strategies to amplify voices in the digital age. Our commitment to innovation ensures that every piece of content is not only protected but also positioned for global discovery and engagement. By merging creative integrity with technological expertise, we provide a secure and impactful space for authors to connect with the world.
Stories That Matter. Voices That Endure.
At Umbra, we celebrate the impossible. Books are vessels of transformation—where the flawed can be heroic, where the smallest can save the world, and where imagination isn’t just welcomed, it’s required. We honor that spirit by daring to publish the kind of stories that push boundaries and rewrite norms. Umbra Print Publishing House is a living testament to the power of representation, imagination, and evolution. We’re here to hold space—for the unheard, the unseen, and the unapologetically bold.
What Sets Umbra Print Apart
Umbra Print Publishing House is not just another publisher—we're a purpose-driven platform rooted in representation, imagination, and innovation. What makes us different is our unwavering commitment to uplifting underrepresented voices and stories that often go unheard in mainstream publishing. Founded in 2022, our journey began with a powerful realization: the literary world lacked true diversity at its core. We’re here to change that.
Bridging Genres, Amplifying Voices
What truly differentiates us is our blend of heart and strategy. With a certified publishing background from IAP College and academic foundations from UNC Greensboro and Chapel Hill—focusing on English, Communications, and Digital Marketing—we approach publishing with both creative passion and professional precision. Umbra Print spans across genres—thrillers, sci-fi, romance, crime, self-help, and especially fantasy and children’s literature through our enchanting imprint, Gypsie Atlas. We serve a broad community of book lovers while staying true to our mission: creating space for the stories that matter, from voices that deserve to be heard.
Building a Movement Through Storytelling
On top of that, we merge traditional storytelling with forward-thinking, data-driven strategies—ensuring our authors’ works are not only protected and beautifully published but also effectively discovered and celebrated by a global audience. We’re not just telling stories—we’re building a movement. That’s the Umbra difference.
