LEFTOVER Books

publishing books ignored by the mainstream

About

LEFTOVER Books is a small press based out of Rochester, NY. Founded in 2021 by fellow author and editor Patrick Trotti, the goal is to discover and share distinct voices of fiction. We want to build relationships with our authors that are based on mutual respect and an appreciation of the craft of storytelling.So why publish with us? Quality over quantity is our mindset, as we plan on releasing a handful of titles per year. This ensures that each book, and author, get the attention that they deserve.What we lack in money and institutional infrastructure, we make up for with a personalized relationship with our authors as well as competitive royalty rates, a 50/50 split. Our goal is to simplify the process of publishing and give the author, in consultation with our Editor, as much authority over their vision as possible. Everything is usually done in house, from design to editing, we are a one-stop shop where the author can entrust us with their work to make it as polished as possible.We’re looking for book-length literary fiction of the highest quality. The term literary, to us, is broad and can be executed in any number of ways.Please send one unpublished manuscript at a time. We want to simplify the process of publishing, so no need for a fancy cover letter or synopsis. If you have them, great, but let the work itself do most of the heavy lifting. Be patient and know that we’ll do our best to respond as soon as possible, usually within a month.
