Sugarcane Publishing is an independent press founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 2016 under LTY Enterprises, Inc.
We were built for a specific kind of writer — one whose story the mainstream publishing industry has historically passed over, mishandled, or asked to soften. The multicultural, the multiracial, the non-normative. The writer whose characters look like the actual world. The one whose narrative doesn't fit the mold that traditional publishing spent decades enforcing.
That hasn't changed. What has grown is the scope of what we publish and how we publish it.
Sugarcane operates across two lanes: Sugarcane Inheritance, our nonfiction imprint for the builders and strategists creating work that has to last, and our Fiction catalog, rooted in diverse worlds, honest characters, and the kind of speculative storytelling that has always belonged to people who were told they didn't have a place in it.
We are small by design. Every title we publish is intentional. We don't chase trends, and we don't ask our authors to be anything other than exactly what they are.
