A Fiendish Publishing Co.
An imprint of Nicholas P. Leone
An independent publisher. The house edits, produces, and keeps the record for the books it issues.
Established in 2026 by Nicholas P. Leone. The first books on the list are his. Editorial, production, metadata, rights, and presentation stay close to the work, whether the list is one name or several.
A query is welcome. A full manuscript is read when the house asks for it. The imprint does not pretend to be a larger operation than it is.

The rule

Planned distribution is not presented as existing distribution. Layout specimens are not titles. None of the books on the record currently names a store.
Why an imprint
To keep the chain short. The person writing the book remains close to the decisions governing its editing, production, metadata, presentation, rights, and publication.
That does not mean every part of a book is performed by one person. It means the final responsibility remains identifiable. There is no committee to blame.
