Balzac Press

Balzac Press was founded in 2024 by Craig Langley, Jr. and T. J. Johnson to bring back old fashioned storytelling. We aim to find great writers who are unable to find a home in the closed arena of the traditional New York publishing houses and introduce them to a world that hungers for fresh voices that are free from the stale constraints and political correctness of the old system. If you have great stories to tell, we will never cancel you, we will never abandon you, and we will never give in to the mob that wants to destroy the storytelling we love and want to read again. The next JRR Tolkien, the next CS Lewis, the next John Milius, and the next Honoré de Balzac (our namesake) is out there somewhere, and we are determined to make their genius accessible to everyone.

In addition to novels, we will also be publishing a literary journal, entitled Balzac's Gems, to highlight the very best of short stories, plays, and poetry. These forms are too often neglected in the postmodern world, but they won't be by us.

If you want to write tales for the ages, or want to read them, then you've found the right place.
