About Us
Our Mission: Stories, Not Spotlights
At Living with the Boy Inside Publishing, we believe great stories deserve to be told—even when the author wants to remain anonymous. We give voices to writers who want to share their work without the limelight, the book tours, the author meet-ups, and all the publicity that traditionally comes with being a published author.
Many of our authors have day jobs, families, and lives they don't want disrupted. They're teachers, doctors, engineers, parents—people with stories to tell but no desire for celebrity. We respect that. We're here to publish their stories, not their personal lives.
We specialize in compelling fiction across Romance, Science Fiction, and Fantasy. We promote stories, not personalities. No author photos required. No book signings expected. No social media presence needed. Just great books finding their readers.
What Makes Us Different
Privacy First
Your identity is yours alone. Publish under a pseudonym, stay anonymous, and keep your personal life completely private. We protect our authors' privacy as fiercely as we promote their stories.
No Publicity Required
We don't require author photos, book tours, social media presence, or meet-and-greets. You write the stories; we handle everything else. No limelight, no spotlight—just your book reaching readers.
Stories Over Celebrity
We market books, not personalities. Our promotional efforts focus on the story, the characters, and the experience—not the person who wrote it. Great stories stand on their own.
Why We Do This
The traditional publishing model assumes every author wants to be a public figure. But that's not true. Many brilliant storytellers have no interest in the celebrity aspect of publishing. They have careers they love, families they prioritize, or simply value their privacy.
We work with teachers who don't want their students knowing about their romance novels. Doctors who write science fiction but prefer to keep their professional reputation separate. Parents who craft fantasy worlds but want to stay off social media. Engineers, lawyers, accountants—people from all walks of life with stories to share.
These authors shouldn't have to choose between sharing their stories and maintaining their privacy. With us, they don't have to. We've built a publishing house specifically for them—for the quiet storytellers, the private creatives, the anonymous voices who deserve to be heard.

Our Philosophy
Living with the Boy Inside Publishing was founded on a simple belief: great stories deserve to be shared, regardless of whether the author wants public recognition. We saw countless talented writers hesitant to publish because they didn't want the celebrity that comes with being an author in the traditional model.
Our name reflects our philosophy of embracing the childlike wonder and imagination that lives within all of us—that creative spark that doesn't need validation or recognition to exist. We believe the best stories are those that transport readers to new worlds, and those stories don't need an author's face on the back cover to be magical.
We don't host book release parties. We don't organize author meet-ups. We don't push for bookstore signings or conference appearances. Instead, we focus our energy on what matters: getting beautifully crafted stories into the hands of readers who will love them.
Today, we're proud to work with talented authors from around the world—many of whom you'll never meet, and that's exactly how they want it. Our catalog spans heartwarming romances, mind-bending science fiction, and epic fantasy, all written by people living full lives beyond their books. Our commitment remains unchanged: publish exceptional stories while respecting the privacy of those who create them.
