Who we are

MAKS Press is an independent publishing imprint based in New York City. We release a small, curated list of literary fiction—books made with editorial care, strong design, and a clean, modern finish. Small by design means fewer titles, more attention, and zero filler.

Member, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA).

What we do

We take a manuscript and turn it into a book that feels inevitable: tighter pages, confident design, and details that don’t wobble. From editing to cover to release setup, we focus on the reader’s experience—clean, vivid, and professional.

Featured title

Jennifer — a novel by K. Malkovich. A coming-of-age story about self-deception, desire, and the kind of attachment that feels like love until it doesn’t.
