Outsider Publishing Company
@outsiderpublishing.bsky.social
We are a small indie press trying to carve out a place in this world. We like to think that we give voices to those that might be a little on the outside. And we like to think that we are the rebels of the written word.
We’re feeling a little nostalgic today, Rebels, What was the first Outsider Publishing book you ever read? Drop the title below and take a trip down memory lane with us. And if you haven’t joined the rebellion yet.Seriously, what are you waiting for? Let’s hear your first Outsider read was!
