Rethink the rules.
Rewrite the narrative.
Reclaim yourself.
Welcome to Anti-Cult Publishing, where we don’t follow the script—we rip it up and hand you the pen. We’re an independent nonprofit book publisher built for indie bookstores, offbeat gift shops, and every reader who’s allergic to the ordinary.
We’re a 501(c)(3) publishing house based in New Mexico with a simple mission: expose cultural manipulation, reject toxic positivity, and offer sharp, satirical books for people who’ve had enough of self-help theater. Our books are for outsiders, neurodivergent minds, burned-out thinkers, creative misfits, and high-functioning cynics. If you stock books for people who question everything, you’re in the right place.
We believe clarity beats comfort. Emotional honesty over hollow mantras. Books should disrupt, not just decorate shelves. We’re not here to sell empowerment—we’re here to hand you the tools for real, unfiltered autonomy.
Because the world is full of performative healing and commodified rebellion. We saw too many books promising answers and not enough calling out the real problem: manufactured conformity, cultish coaching, and the algorithmic grind. So, we built Anti-Cult Publishing—a nonprofit publisher for anyone who wants to opt out, laugh at the system, and give their customers something that stands out.
Our work is for indie bookstores and quirky gift shops that care about more than just “what sells.” Shops that thrive on conversation pieces, artful rebellion, and books with bite.
If your shelves are full of stories but missing a little defiance, you’re exactly who we built this for.
