DOGSTAR PRESS IS AN INDEPENDENT LITERARY PRESS DEVOTED TO FICTION THAT DARES TO BE beautiful, unguarded, AND true.
Everything we do stems from a single conviction: literature is not content, performance, or propaganda—it is the expression of the human soul, and it must be protected.
IN A MODERN
AGE THAT IS COMPRESSING
THE LIFE OUT
OF US,
technology and politics are pushing us farther from our true selves, purpose, and potential.
As algorithms plunge us deeper into distraction, distortion, and division, literature and other art forms underpinned by beauty, sincerity, truth, and light are a lifeline, not a luxury.
A LITERARY PRESS UNIQUELY DEVOTED TO beauty, sincerity, AND 100% human fiction,
we are holding a lantern for writers and readers who believe in—and are searching for—authentic and artful fiction that never yields to external pressures, We are warding off artifice, ideology, and any distortion that erodes human literary art,
We exist to offer light in a dark world with novels underpinned by values that have created the most enduring art in history: beauty, morality, hope, curiosity, redemption, the hero’s journey, respect for life and the human spirit, the quest for truth and meaning, and the power of transcendence.
—F.M. DOSTOEVSKY
Without art that encourages reflection and the search for meaning, a civilization will be dead inside: numbed by the algorithm, unable to think and feel deeply, apathetic to our shared humanity, and resigned to despair and destruction when all seems lost.
More than ever, we need novels that immerse us, awakening our hearts and senses as they explore the comedy, agony, glory, mystery, and miracle of being alive.
In Franz Kafka’s words:
“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.”
THOUGH THE HOUR IS LATE, WE BELIEVE IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO PRESERVE LITERATURE’S SACRED ROLE IN OUR SOCIETY:
a deeply personal source of refuge, wonder, hope, and illumination. We can protect literature as a path to what is real and eternal.
THE FIRST LITERARY PRESS TO ESTABLISH ITSELF AS 100% human.
As machines invade every corner of our lives, AI-written and AI-assisted novels are slipping into the publishing system without disclosure, diluting and overwriting the human voice.
Clearly signposting books that are human-made—without AI interference—is the only way we can preserve novels as an irreplaceable record of humanity and an eternal conversation about what it means to be alive.
Every Dogstar book carries our 100% HUMAN seal.
Backed by our verification process, this is an author’s pledge of creative integrity.
For readers, it is a promise of authenticity in a world full of illusions, efficiency hacks, and empty content creation, where it is increasingly hard to determine what is meaningful and real.
