WELCOME to King Ari Press

"Courage, dear heart." C. S. Lewis.

We started our Press in 2023. Our goal is to be one more door open for authors in the publishing world. For readers, we also want to rekindle the nostalgic joy of reading: flashlight in hand, under the blanket, reading when all other lights went out.

Thank you to everyone who supports our press!
