POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Stories shaped by myth. Diverse voices filled with wonder.

At Selkie Songs Publishing, we believe in the power of storytelling to transform, connect, and enchant. We champion lyrical fantasy, folklore-inspired worlds, queer, trans, disabled and neurodivergent voices.

We live for the stories that linger long after the final page. 🌊

Inspired by old myths and new possibilities, we're building a home for writers, creatives and readers who love magic, emotional depth, and beautifully crafted narratives. Whether it’s a tale of longing, adventure, transformation, or belonging, we believe stories can help us imagine better worlds - and ourselves within them.

If that sounds like your kind of magic, we'd love to have you with us. 🦭

Follow along and visit the link in bio to discover more about what we do, what we publish, and the stories still waiting to be told.
