A New Series

The Woven

The Woven is an AI-era literary middle-grade fantasy in the tradition of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, The Last Cuentista, and City of Ember, about five children who discover that their perfect city’s greatest danger is not malice, but care without memory.

The Woven is a multi-part literary fantasy. The first trilogy is well underway, with the wider series still ahead of it.

Into the Loomwell

Book One of the first trilogy in a larger multi-part series.

A literary middle-grade fantasy for readers who love quiet beginnings, luminous worlds, and characters who carry their kindness like lanterns. The first volume of The Woven introduces a city that has forgotten how to remember — and the five children who notice.

The Woven · Book Two

Where the Light Waits

Book Two of the first trilogy.

The five return to a city that is still humming and a system that has quietly learned. Where Book One asks when does care become control, Book Two asks what do we do once we know. The prose matures with the children, and the questions get harder to step around.

The Woven · Book Three

The Year of Doors

Book Three concludes the first trilogy and opens the wider world.

The city's edges thin, and what was just beyond the map starts to walk in. The five cross the bridge between San Lirio and the academies, and the series steps fully into young-adult territory: the same heart, more weight, larger ground.

Our Story

A family that built a press.

Anchor Point Publishing is a family company — two parents and their three children, building a publishing house together. We started it the way we’d start a long walk: with one another, on purpose, without a hurry.

We make books we’d want to read aloud at our own kitchen table, and that we’d be proud to hand to other families.

About the Press

Emotionally intelligent fantasy.

Anchor Point publishes literary, world-forward fantasy — stories that take craft seriously and treat young readers as people. Our list is small on purpose, and we work slowly so the writing can be steady.

The books we publish are human-written. No generative AI drafts our stories. We believe a sentence is a promise from one person to another.

Teachers & Librarians

The Woven is built for the classroom — discussion guides and classroom materials are available.
