Publishing fiction on the author's terms — no middlemen, no surrendered rights.
The author retains full intellectual property. No assignment of rights to publishers, platforms, or distributors beyond what's strictly necessary to distribute the work.
Published via KDP with own ISBNs. Available globally without exclusive deals that lock readers or income to a single platform.
No editorial mandates from investors or marketing committees. The story is the story. Independence means the author's voice reaches readers unmediated.
Shadow Print Books is an independent Australian publishing imprint, created to publish fiction without surrendering authorial rights to a commercial publisher, platform, or aggregator.
The model is simple: we own our ISBNs, we own our distribution relationships, and we own our work. Amazon and other platforms are distributors — nothing more. The creative and commercial control stays with the author.
Currently publishing the work of Nyra Jae, the label exists to give that work the infrastructure of professional publishing while keeping the independence of a self-published author.
