What We Publish
AI-assisted fiction novels, novellas, short stories, practical ebooks, publishing guides, small-web essays, and future long-form projects.
Publishing imprint of the Independent Web Almanac
Human-led books for the small web.
Rook and Rune Press publishes AI-assisted fiction, novels, short stories, practical ebooks, publishing guides, and small-web essays.
Human-Led, AI-Assisted
We are pro-AI, but not anti-human. AI can support drafting, editing, structure, and research. Final responsibility stays with the author.
Part of IWA
Rook and Rune Press grows out of the Independent Web Almanac’s work around independent publishing, human-scale technology, and a more personal web.
