Leapfrog Press

Leapfrog Press U.S. publisher of quality fiction, poetry, and non-fiction. Leapfrog Press was created to search out, publish, and market books that tell a strong story.

Annual Leapfrog Press Global Fiction Prize Contest in collaboration with Can of Worms Enterprises (UK). Our list is eclectic and includes quality fiction, poetry, and nonfiction; books that are described by the large commercial publishers as midlist, and which we regard as the heart and soul of literature. We're always on the lookout for new talent. Some of our best writers have trouble placing th

eir books with the conglomerate-owned publishing houses because their books are not perceived as best-seller material. We see ourselves as a home to new works by accomplished writers and works by those just starting out. We're keenly aware that good writing is only the beginning. A successful book must be guided through its journey to reach the right audience. Our publishing program includes hardcover and paperback originals as well as revised and repackaged trade paperbacks. What we promise is writing that expands our webs of connection with other humans and the natural world; books that illuminate our complexities; tough, unsentimental books about our difficult and sometimes insanely funny choices in life and how we make them.

The first move is never just a move.

This is where it all begins-before the magic had a name, before Misha knew he was different.

Magic Boy is about seeing the world differently… and realizing that’s your power. ✨
