Independent publisher — speculative fiction

Stories built
from broken
ground.

Broken.Earth publishes character-led speculative and dystopian fiction that refuses easy answers. We believe the most urgent questions about who we are belong in the pages of a novel.

What we publish

Fiction with
something at stake.

We publish speculative fiction, dystopian fiction, and science fiction with literary ambition. Our books ask questions that policy cannot answer: What is loyalty when the state has collapsed? What does survival cost? Where does identity survive the end of the world?

Broken.Earth was founded by Danny Lenihan — novelist, journalist, and former stand-up — out of the conviction that the most important stories are the ones publishers don't quite know how to shelve.

The author

Danny Lenihan

Novelist Journalist Stand-up

Danny Lenihan spent seven years as a photojournalist — working with Reuters, the Guardian, the Telegraph, and Getty — before a decade in stand-up comedy, and eventually the longer, slower art of the novel.

His fiction draws from all of it: the instinct for a true moment, the instinct for an audience, and the irreversible knowledge that the world is stranger and sadder and funnier than any story can quite contain.
