Stelliform books are at the forefront of conversations about culture and climate change.
We’re a small press publishing out of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. We focus on genre (SFFH) and literary fiction and creative non-fiction which takes up the conversation around the climate emergency and an intersectional view of environmental justice. We invite you to join us in reshaping nature/culture relationships through the stories we tell ourselves and each other. Welcome. We’re so glad you’re here.

Telling Climate Stories in a Climate Crisis — DEPART, DEPART! Launch
Despite the fact that another hurricane is headed toward Houston, we're having a launch for Sim Kern's DEPART, DEPART!, a book about a hurricane that destroys Houston. Yes, it is too on-the-nose, but this is the reality of contemporary climate fiction. We are telling these stories in the spaces between climate crisis events. Click through to see the prizes available at the launch, and to get your tickets.
Stelliform’s Faves, Part 2
As a new press still in its first year, we are a small team publishing a select number of books. At this early stage of Stelliform Press's existence, our readers provide sounding-board conversation and support for the EIC. But that kind of support is informed by the books our readers have loved. We share some of those in this blog post.
Stelliform’s Faves, Part 1
With our first two books in print or at-the-printer, and our next two on the decks (surprise! book #4 will be announced soon!), we're looking to the climate and social justice related books we love, reading them backwards in a ring of fire to conjure up more environment-focused submissions for Stelliform Years 3 and beyond. Just kidding, we're sharing them here so you can get to know us a little better — what we love and what kinds of stories we'll likely publish in the future.
Hurricane Laura Relief Fundraiser
Last week Hurricane Laura missed Houston but devastated Louisiana and we postponed the launch for Sim Kern's trans hurricane novella, DEPART, DEPART! Now, Kern and Stelliform are fundraising for folks impacted by Hurricane Laura — particularly trans, Black and POC folks. We're giving away 20 ebooks & 5 DEPART, DEPART! sticker packs when you donate to organizations supporting these communities. Read more in this post.
Hurricane Delays DEPART, DEPART! Launch (Updated)
We've postponed the contest and launch event for Sim Kern's DEPART, DEPART!, ironically, because Houston is currently threatened by two incoming hurricanes. Check out this post for updates, and link to Sim Kern's YouTube channel where they are vlogging their hurricane prep.
